It's such a big step from where I started. I almost can't believe I've made it. I had no direction after highscool so I became severally depressed. Got so bad, had times I stayed in bed literally staring at my ceiling from dusk to dawn. Thankfully I have a loving mother who continued to care for me despite how much of a burden I was.

Was able to to overcome my depression. I went out and got my ged (was homeschooled so no hs diploma). Recently got my very first job and I'm going to college on top of it. All in less than 8 months.

Really feels like I jumped from the kiddie pool to the deep end.

Kind of*

Make sure you take 4 core classes and 1 experimental class of your liking. See what you like. Some majors gets better as you progress.

Hey, don't be nervous. You'll get used to the crushing anxiety.

Be proactive with your work, don't let it pile up. Always ask questions if you don't understand.

It’s school. You’ve been doing it for 13 years already, you should be used to it.

Attend every class and pay attention! While I used a laptop for class all thru grad school, I recommend paper for notes. You won't be 1/2

easily tempted to mindlessly browse the web and the physical act of writing helps you remember what you're taking notes on. 2/2

You've come a long way. Good luck tomorrow. I hope you major in a field that is profitable. Use every resource you can.

The hardest part of college is figuring out how to be independent. If you already have a job, chances are you'll find it pretty easy.

You got this! Make use of campus resources - tutoring, academic support, writing lab. College is a big step but you're not taking it alone.

It's natural. When I started college I was freaking out the first day. I have bad social anxiety. Turns out when u get there no one gives...

For me, college was really fun. Just don’t get all crazy with protests.

I read that as "Tomorrow's my first day of college. I'm kinda scared". Nailed it

The deep deep end of the real world is tough, but it is also pretty great. College was awesome but now life is awesome in different ways.

Dont listen to that. Life after school definitely has a larger "variety" of challenges, but you also get much better at finding resources >

that help you overcome those challenges in time. You will make friends and build a net that can support you when you need.
