If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working for it

Michael Jordan (via studyblr)

University classes are a monster you can’t prepare for until you’re in them. I have been through every up and down with schoolwork possible in the past year, so here are some tips that can hopefully help you avoid those downs:

Choosing and Registering for Your Classes

Make sure to thoroughly check both your major requirements and your gen ed requirements. Normally, you’ll have an advisor to help you make sure you’re on track, but Vandy doesn’t assign first-year engineering students one until after registration when school starts, and I didn’t have an advisor for this year’s registration either due to my major change, so I’ve spent hours and hours doing this on my own. There’s often recommended courses and example schedules in the course catalog that tell you what classes you should be taking at this point in time. Pay attention to that and you should be fine. For example, you have to have taken a first-level writing class to qualify for junior standing here. Those are the little things you have to look out for. To keep track of it all, I have a spreadsheet I use for planning my sophomore - senior years that lists all the requirements I need to meet in terms of hours and courses in order to graduate on time. I plug in possible courses and see which requirement they would fulfill and when. You can check it out here to see what I mean, it’s very helpful.

Find at least one fun elective to take if at all possible. It gets very tiring when all you have on your schedule are really difficult classes that you don’t enjoy. Try to find at least one class that you’re genuinely interested in to help get you excited for the day. Each of my last semesters, my schedule consisted of a calculus class, a lab science, a comp sci class, and Italian. Italian was the only fun one that I enjoyed going to. It really helps you out. You’re not just in college to get your degree, you’re there to discover what you really want to do, so feel free to explore your catalog and take something completely out of character just because you want to. Bonus if it fills some kind of requirement (Italian filled my Foreign Language Proficiency and one of my International Cultures reqs.).

Have multiple versions of your schedule based on which classes you may or may not get into. I don’t know about your school, but at Vanderbilt, class registration is literally like the Hunger Games. You’re assigned an enrollment date based on your year (seniors get to go first, then juniors, etc.) and at 8 am on that day, you refresh the website and either enroll in your classes or get placed on the wait list for it. If you’re a freshman, you’re basically screwed because you go last, and so you could have planned out your perfect schedule only to find they’ve all filled up the day before your enrollment period starts. To avoid having to scramble, have multiple versions of your schedule, with back ups and substitutions for every class. This way, you won’t be surprised when you go to enroll and all but one of your classes are filled, then you have to search for other classes, but at that point, all that’s left are scraps that don’t fit your requirements. Plan plan plan and practice clicking the enroll button on all your classes as fast as you can for when the clock strikes 8.

You have freedom over your schedule now; take advantage of that! No more 8-3 Monday through Friday; you can take classes whenever you want. I prefer to have all my classes on MWF in a block of a few hours and only one or no class on TR. Of course, sometimes you’re going to have to take classes at less optimal times, but do try to accommodate yourself and take classes at times you know will be good for you. Lots of people prefer to start early and finish early, while I like to start no earlier than 11, even if I don’t finish until 5. The best part of college is you can do what you want.

Don’t take 8 ams. I’m repeating this cause it’s important. I swear, you’ll regret it. In high school, I woke up every morning early as hell to catch my bus at 6:30, but in college, it was nearly impossible for me to get up for my 11 am only three times a week. Don’t ever take an 8 am by choice. And if you have no choice, good luck lol.

Don’t be afraid to drop a class. If you’re doing terribly in a class or you absolutely can’t stand it, drop the class. There’s a very little chance that if you’re failing during the first half of the semester, you’ll be able to change your grade dramatically in the second half. Maybe you decided to be an overzealous freshman and signed up for the maximum number of hours possible and now you’re drowning. Drop a class! Sometimes, a course is going to do more harm to you than good, so it’s best to get rid of it than have an F or a W on your transcript.

Attending Your Classes

Establish a connection with your professor early. I recommended introducing yourself on the first day of class just so they know your name and face in another post. It’d be even better to attend an office hour or review session or something. Just make sure they know you. It’ll be easier to communicate when you need something later in the semester if it isn’t their first time seeing you.

Actually use this connection with your professors. In my experience, they can be pretty understanding and when you’re in a bad place, they’ll likely help you out. If something is preventing you from doing your best in class, go to them for help (I didn’t go to many office hours but I wish I did! Who better to explain to you something you don’t understand than the person who grades you on it?) or explain to them your situation. I had professors let me take tests late and redo assignments due to my mental health after I explained to them I wasn’t just a terrible student; if it wasn’t for this, I would’ve failed all of their classes. Maybe at the end of the semester they’ll drop one of your wonky grades or bump you up that extra half point you need. Your professors are a resource, and it’s up to you to use it.

Take notes however you want. I used my laptop in some, paper in others, and even my iPad and a stylus for calculus. In all of your classes will be a mixture of different techniques and no one cares what you do. Whatever works best for you and helps you get down the most information is what you should do. Also, you don’t have to write down everything. If your professor uses slides and posts them for you to download, you don’t really have to write down anything at all unless they add extra points, so that’s really convenient. 

You don’t have to sit in the front. As long as you can see and hear, which you’ll likely be able to due to large projection screens and microphones, it literally doesn’t matter where you sit. In my experience, the professors call on people from every part of the lecture hall, so everyone gets an equal chance at participation. It’s up to yourself to make sure you can pay attention, not your seat.

Do your best to attend every single class meeting. It’s inevitable that you’re going to miss class at some point; you will get sick, you won’t have finished an assignment, you’ll need a mental health day, something will happen. Missing class can too easily become a habit if you do it often, so try to never do it. Don’t force yourself to go if you can’t handle it, obviously your health always comes first, but I mean don’t skip cause you want to sleep in or cause you just don’t feel like going. If you do have to miss class and 1) you have a good reason for it (i.e. sickness) and 2) it’s a class small enough that your professor will notice you’re not there, email them and let them know why, just so they’re aware you’re not just skipping to skip.  

Try to make friends in your classes. A little study group would be even better. It’ll be really useful to have someone who can help you with a homework question you don’t understand or send you their notes when you miss a class. It can also be great to study with other people, depending on how you study best. I’ve had friends in all my classes so far and it’s been a great help, even if we just complained about the test we just failed then went to get pizza.

Tackling the Coursework

Make a REALISTIC study schedule. The key word here is realistic. During winter break I made a study schedule that started with me waking up at 8 am every morning to go work out and ended with me going to sleep promptly at 11 or midnight after spending literally the entire day studying with breaks only for meals. No breaks on weekends, no room to socialize, and I thought this would be perfectly fine for me to follow. Of course, I didn’t last a week because that was fucking ridiculous. You don’t need to schedule every hour of your day; college doesn’t work like that. Just do something simple, an hour for a class or maybe less depending on how hard it is and if you have a test coming up. Trust your instincts. There’s no need to go overboard, and you don’t need to spend six hours a day working, just dedicate a time to studying and stick with that.

Explore study techniques until you find one that works for you. Everyone doesn’t study the same, so if you do what everyone else is doing you might not get the results you want. Even if you had a great system in high school, it might not be fitting for college, so check out a bunch of different methods and see how you do with them. Once you find the best way you study, you’ll be unstoppable when exam time comes.

Start your assignments early, as soon as you can after they’re assigned. There’s nothing worse than having a bunch of assignments/tests/papers due on the same day and you haven’t finished any of them. Trust me, it is so much less stressful to complete an assignment as soon as you can after it’s been assigned so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Putting things off has much more severe consequences than it did in high school and you will regret procrastinating. If you have a weekly assignment due every Friday, try to complete them by Wednesday every week. At the very least, start an assignment the day you get it even if you can’t finish it that day. It’s a lot easier to do something after you’ve already begun working on it, and that one thing you do is progress.

The name of the college game is prioritization. If college teaches you anything, it’s how to prioritize your duties. You need to create a hierarchy of importance for your classes and types of assignments. For me, calculus assignments were always done first because that was the most difficult class and the one I absolutely needed to pass, and Italian was always done last cause it was my easiest class and I could complete even our biggest assignments in one day. You’re going to have a very large amount of work and sometimes you have to sacrifice finishing a small homework assignment to finish a huge paper or study for an exam. I liked to complete my hardest/longest assignments right when I got back from class to get them over with and leave my easier ones for later. Prioritizing is essential if you want to succeed in university, so learn how to do it immediately! 

Remember that uni is really difficult and your grades don’t define you. Something I learned the hard way is that sometimes you can try really really hard, do the best you can, and still fail. That’s just life. Sometimes you have to do something a million times before you get it right, or before you discover that it just isn’t right for you at all. I worked harder than I ever had this past year, and what I got in return was two failed classes, two D’s, academic probation, and a 2.3 GPA. Actually, my current GPA isn’t even a 2.3, it’s a 2.295, which is probably blasphemy to the studyblr community, but this shit happens. It happens to all of us and it sucks. It can be really shitty to feel like your effort wasn’t reflected in your result. What you need to do is adjust your expectations and keep working hard. After you hit your stride, your grades could be great in no time. Or you could discover that math or science or english just isn’t for you. Maybe you’ll discover university as a whole isn’t right for you, and that’s okay! Bad grades, whether you define that as a B or an F, don’t mean you’re a bad student or a bad person. You do what you can, and then let go of what you can’t control. The sooner you grasp this idea, and the sooner you learn to be gentle with yourself, the easier a time you’ll have.

So I feel like I forgot a lot of things but also this is pretty long so I’m going to end the post here. If you have any further questions or topics for a post you’d like to see, my inbox is always open. I don’t know which post is coming next, but I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for reading and I hope this helped you out!

Here’s a list of some of the things I learnt in my first year of college that I wish I had known before I started:

Unidays!! So before I started I went out & bought new clothes, notebooks, stationery etc. for college, & I wish I hadn’t because most of the stores I bought from, have a student discount when you use Unidays/show your id in store. ((They also have 10% Apple if you’re buying new electronics!!))

Lecturers do care. All through secondary/high school, I was told, “when you go to college, lecturers won’t care about you.”  From my experience, this isn’t true. Most lecturers do care because your performance in exams reflects on them as a lecturer. While they won’t spoon-feed you, they are there to help you if you’re struggling/have a few questions. 

Don’t copy down the lecturer’s slides (if they post them online!). In my first semester, I wrote everything off the slides, and spent so much time in the lecture paying attention to the slides, I missed what the lecturer was saying, which is more important to note down as you won’t be able to find it online. 

What buildings and lecture halls my classes were in. If you can, try going to each building/hall to see exactly where you need on your first day/week.

You don’t need to sit at the front of a lecture hall to get the best out of a lecture. I thought before college the only way I could pay attention would be by sitting up the front but I’ve found this isn’t the case for me. I work best sitting in the middle because then I don’t have to make eye-contact with the lecturer (something I find really uncomfortable) and I’m not worried about what’s happening behind me. Everyone’s different so try to find a place that suits you! 

It’s totally okay to do things alone. In school, I feel like there’s a bit of a group culture, where you can’t do anything without someone else but in college, it’s good to go to lectures/have lunch and go the library by yourself sometimes (& no one will judge you for it). 

The library isn’t the only study place. The library can be intimidating especially for 1st years. When I started I loved reading rooms which were smaller and more private. 

How to print stuff off in college. Learn how to do it asap! I only found out in my second semester. It’s just something that’s handy to know! Before you go to college just google your college’s name & print and you’ll find out how.

The college doctor’s office is free/a lot cheaper! I didn’t actually use the doctor’s office but it’s good to know how much it’s going to be if you do need to go! (This depends on what college you go to, check beforehand)

You don’t need to buy the textbook. I know so many people who paid a lot of $ for a textbook when they could have used one of the library’s multiple copies or got a cheaper one from a past student.

College can offer a lot more than just classes. Volunteering opportunities, societies, clubs, counselling services are just a few things that are available that aren’t related to class, make use of them.

The people you’re friends with the first week, may not still be your friends at the start of the year (and that’s okay!). You’ll meet a lot of people in college and it can take time to find people you really connect  & want to be friends with. 

You may have to study something you’re not that big of a fan of at first. Some courses are general to start off with and let you specialise later. Don’t be put off by this, work hard and it’ll pay off when you get to pick what you want to study later!

College is hard. You may get homesick, find your classes difficult, or feel lonely but it get’s better. It’s only normal to find a new situation difficult but stick with it & you’ll get through it!!  

Best of luck if you’re starting college this year!! Remember to enjoy every moment of it! 💛

7:00: Turn off your alarm. Slowly open your eyes and realize where you are. Resist the urge to cuddle yourself back to sleep. Reach over to your phone and play some music or a video from your favorite YouTuber. Listen to this as you get out of bed and start your routine.

7:10: Make your bed. Completely remove all the sheets, blankets, and pillows and replace them evenly on top of your mattress. Carefully fold and tuck everything into place. 

7:15: Head into the bathroom. Take care of business while you choose a new song or video to continue playing. Wash your hands with your favorite scented hand soap. Pick up your toothbrush and toothpaste and brush your teeth as you continue to wake up. Wipe the remaining toothpaste off your mouth and pull your hair into a pony tail to get it out of your face. Wash your face with warm water, making sure to get all of the gunk out of your eyes. Moisturize your face and use the remaining moisturizer to soften your hands.

7:30: Head to your dresser and pick a clean, new outfit. Toss your dirty clothes into your hamper, and just before putting on your fresh clothes, spritz yourself with your favorite scent. Get dressed and choose one or two pieces of your favorite jewelry to tie everything together. 

7:40: Grab your bullet journal and a pen on your way out of your room. Head into the kitchen and begin making your warm drink of choice. As your coffee brews or as your tea steeps, cut up some fresh fruit and toast a slice or two of bread. Spread your favorite jam or honey onto the toast while it’s still warm. Pour your milk or creamer into your drink and set everything up at the table. 

7:50: Sip your drink and munch on your fruit and toast as you review your bullet journal. Remind yourself what your plan is for today or write out your plan. Review your weekly plan as well. 

8:00: Rinse out all your dishes and place them into the dishwasher. Head to your desk and gather all of the materials you will need to begin working, like your pen case, your laptop, your notebooks, your reading materials, and of course, your bullet journal. Quickly check your email, and then get to work.

I'm looking for stuff about chemistry! Could you help me? I'm starting a new class this coming school year and although I have taken a chemitry course before I struggled a bit with it. And many people have told me it is hard to understand anything with the teacher that teaches chem. If you could help me that would be awesome. Thank you

Hello there!

I’m sure there are plenty of others out there that are feeling the exact same way about Chemistry as you are now! I’d love for anyone who knows a thing or two about the subject to reach out to you and help via adding comments!

Heres a few posts I’ve found to do with Chemistry!

sometimes you’ll feel jealous, and sometimes you’ll have a bad day. that’s totally okay, and things like that happen to all of us - just prioritize your self-growth. try to learn from these moments, and improve yourself. try to not compare yourself to others who are on a completely different journey, try to compare yourself with your past self and see how much progress has been made. and even then, when you’ve grown and improved, these feelings might still return sometimes. acknowledge them, and acknowledge that it’s okay to have them, sometimes.

I want to be around people that do things. I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people that dream and support and do things.

What’s the purpose of this network?

meet new people our age

agonize over college applications and major life decisions

have fun, discuss our passions, everything!

share our personal essays to proof-read/get feedback

tag your posts with our shared tag!

(maybe even a group chat)

How can I apply?

College Application Resources

Hello everyone!

I wanted to make a post of helpful college websites, tools, etc that I use, to share with everyone else. 

Don’t know if your ACT or SAT scores are better? Check out this link that shows you a chart comparing ACT and SAT scores

Want to read honest reviews of a college and not just Student Profiles on colleges’ websites? Check out this website that has ratings in several different categories from current or past students. Make sure to check each one, a C in drug safety may mean there aren’t drugs and people don’t like that, or it could mean there are drugs and the people reviewing are unhappy about it.  Just read it all. 

Aren’t exactly sure how you stack up to be admitted? Check out this website (it’s the same one, I know) that allows you to create a simple profile and then ask what your chances are.  Please remember, this is not 100% accurate nor is it done by admissions counselor.  It just gives you a ball park. 

Have an interview coming up? Be prepared by reading this article that details how to prepare for an interview.  Just don’t forget, be yourself, be respectful, and be enthusiastic!

Can’t decide which application is best for you? This can be a tricky topic, so to get the full scoop, check out this helpful guide that breaks down the pro’s and con’s for each type of admissions plan. 

Need help with the “Why” Essay? Check out my detailed post on it. 

If you have any questions, my inbox is always open and I would love to talk to people!
