Hiya everyone! I'm a freshie in college and I am having trouble adjusting and all that jazz. I've been here (RIT for photography!) for a week now and today was my first day of classes!

It would make me feel soooooo awesome if ya'll had advice for me to adjust better!
Thanks in advance!

Ahh Brightwood, that is so refreshing to hear! I don't wanna just live with people my own age and live in my own little college world.



I think I am not as teenagery as most teenagers either! I'm not much of a party animal by any means!

find a balance



if you study too much you won't meet enough people and you won't be living how you should in college





but if you have too much fun you'll be leaving college very soon without a degree, so I don't recommend that either.



don't let things pile up.

Go to classes, read or at least skim your texts. Talk to people in your classes---they'll be more fun if you all know each other. Make sure you have ample sobriety time. Join a student organization or club to meet people if you have a difficult time getting to know others. Smile at people when you walk.

don't believe everything they teach you.

yeah I always got at least one cell number of someone in my classes just in case..



Also, don't believe that everything they teach you will get you a job.



a college education is a skeleton for a job, there's no meat on the bones. Definitely look into internships or other opportunities to show you have usable knowledge about the field you want to go into

Most upperclass guys go after freshmen girls because they put out.....I'm just saying. Interpret this in your own way :)

lol seriously though, don't neglect work, diet, etc. Usually the first month or so the 1st years are too busy trying to have fun, etc. and by the time things get serious they're in a shitty situation. Don't let that happen.

Thanks everyone! I'm definitely making time to have fun and do homework! Doing fun things gives you the energy needed to actually do the boring stuff!



Thanks Steve!! And yeah I'm gonna die in the cold! But I plan to move to southern california as soon as I graduate!

there are a lot of nerds at RIT, so just join the anime club or ask if anyone wants to play D&D.

Haha, seriously! I know if I ever have computer problems there is at least one geek squad member on the floor above me!
