Advice for college freshman ?
DerKrebs [107]
-Really focus on your grades and studies
-Don’t party so hard or don’t be in the wrong crowd
-Since you’re a college freshman you still have the option to stick with what u wanna study in for example: Lawyer but I think in sophomore you can’t make any changes in wat u wanna be so choose a career that makes you happy
- It’s ok if you failed a test it won’t be the end of the world
- Be friends with the professors of other classmates you’ll have connections
- Buy school supplies near your home like example: Target because over there if you’re living on campus it’s ridiculously expensive

I can go on but it’ll be too much sorry lol

But either way have fun and enjoy your future ahead of you, good luck on your journey :) !
