I’ve gotten a few asks about what good studying habits are, what are good schedules to have, etc. And I wanted to make an all in one guide that might be helpful to you guys! This is especially relevant if you’re living on campus.

• Don’t take 3 hour classes, especially if you have problems sitting still for that long.
• If you eat alone that’s okay because everyone’s too stressed/tired to notice.
• Textbooks are almost always cheaper on Amazon, but you can pay with your student account in the bookstore (good if you have trust funds or scholarships). Pick your poison.
• Most times freshmen have to live on campus, but I would recommend an apartment. It’s almost always cheaper. 
• If it’s possibile, audio record your classes. ESPECIALLY LECTURES. 
• Take notes. Don’t worry if they’re sloppy or partially illegible. It’s a GREAT study method to rewrite your notes all fancy-like after class. You get sharable notes out of it, plus the ability to explain the content in your own words.
• Take all of your classes in one time block. No one wants to get out of bed 4 hours after a class to go back to another class. 
• Try not to take evening classes. Especially if you’re in a residence hall. It’ll free up your afternoon for other things.
• Try to set a 8-3 schedule. You get to sleep in later than you did in high school, and you’ll be done around the same time.
• Get to know the people on your floor. This will come in handy when you need cheap textbooks. Trust me.
• Most universities track your browser history (with programs, don’t worry, there isn’t a person sitting around just waiting for you to visit a porn site). BUT you will probably be flagged for using pirating sites. Get smart about proxies or don’t use them at all.
• Do you only have 1 umbrella? Get another umbrella. 
• Waterproof boots.
• CAN. OPENER. 
• Don’t get addicted to something stupid like drugs or cigarettes, you’re too poor. 
• Put things like hotdogs and green beans in your ramen noodles for a square meal. 
• Find roommates with the same/similar major so you can cry study together.
• If you’re having problems sleeping in a new environment, Benadryl. You can buy generic on amazon for real cheap. It’ll put you to sleep. Use responsibly or I’ll come fight you myself.
• AMAZON PRIME FOR STUDENTS. 
• For the love of god be nice to each other we’re all dead inside.
