Different Tips On How To Survive Freshman Year Of College

So, it should come without saying that I am a Freshman, I wanted to show my experience of the college life that I have experienced so far using different types of memes.

The first week you arrive to college, you have an entire week planned of different events.

A lot of classes in college would wait until the last minute to tell you something that is the most crucial part in the semester.

Waking up for an 8am class is hard for some students, because parents are not there to make sure you are actually awake.


In High school I used to ask myself, I wonder what final week is like in college? In my own opinion you are going to wake up to a very rude awakening! What you need to know if you are an incoming Freshman, you should be prepared for a Professor who could give you a nine page essay to write, a project to complete the week before finals week, and they expect you to study while you complete your work.


Procrastination can really hurt you in college...in the beginning of the semester you get your syllabus and you are able to see everything that needs to be completed by the end of the semester. In your mind you will be like, oh I have enough time to do it, but really it is actually way closer than you think it is.


College papers are really different from High School papers. If you really want to get a good grade, you have to work weeks on a paper, and get it looked over by the writing center and by different people to ensure you have a great paper.


College can be real fun if you know how to save time and do all you work before time!

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
