3. Nobody cares.
So just do your own thing!
a tip for everyone starting their freshman year of college soon: nobody cares about you. did u just trip in front of a few people? no one gives a shit. are u lost? don’t be afraid to ask a random person. no one cares. about anything. we’re all dead here.

5. Get out of my seat!
What were they thinking?!?!
High school: "assigned seating is so dumb"
College: "why is someone in my seat? That's my seat…they know I sit there every class"

6. You deserve it!
Treat yourself.
My first college test I got a 68 and actually cried in the classroom.
Today I got a 52 on an exam and I took myself out for chicken tenders

8. They can be absent minded.
That’s being nice about it…
our professor was 20 minutes into lecture before realizing 1. he wasn’t sharing his slides 2. he wasn’t recording the lecture 3. he had his computer muted so he couldn’t hear us 4. wasn’t checking the chat and 5. had his phone on silent so the TAs couldn’t get ahold of him hahaha
