Is it hard for you to get in the college swing?

Are you financially stable?

Well let me tell you college is way different from high school. College is all on you, you may no longer have your parents to help you with your money. You go from being a teen to being an adult having to pay for your own things plus college. It gets to be hard but if you put your faith to it you will surely shine. There is just 4 simple steps to help you strive your freshmen year.

1. Make sure you make your schedule to were you can handle college and work at the same time.

With this being said make sure your job will work around your classes if you do not get a job on campus. All jobs should understand that you are going to college an working.

2. Go out of your way to make new friends

Going to a college campus where there is no one you know, can make down on yourself , if you just go to class and back to your dorm every day. You don't have to be the typical college party person,but if you join a few groups and make a little click then you will have a memory worth saving. You don't have to be in the party click to have a fun time at college just stay true to yourself.

3. Make sure that all of your college expenses are taken care of.

By saying this, make sure that you surely get as many scholarships as possible. Then try your hardest to not get student loans. Those things are awful and could take forever to pay back. If you can't pay for college all at once to go find help to arrange payment plans so you're not worried about money and can focus on your education.

4. Pick the major that you know will make you happy.

Do not pick a major because someone told you you will be best at this one. Do what you set your heart to, but if you do a major that you do not like then you will surely be down and unhappy. So with this you can make a bang with any major, but the one that fits you best will make you succeed greatly in the world.

Something important to note is to take the ACT very seriously because the better your test results are, the better off you will be in college.Keep this in mind while getting ready for college. You will be stressed in this process, but know that if you have faith you will be lifted up an will do great things. Good luck!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
