hey everybody so for today's video I am going to be talking about the 20 things
that I have learned my freshman year of college and these are just random fun
little things that I have either picked up on or learn or realize or had to go
through throughout my freshman year so hope you guys enjoy this I hope it's
helpful for those of you that are going in to your freshman year
if you want me to do a full like freshman year reflection on actually how
my freshman 1 year of college went definitely please let me know that would
definitely be a video that I'd be interested in filming for you guys these
are just more fun little tidbits that I picked up on so we're going to go ahead
and get started number one is it's okay to change your mind I think that a lot
of people I was one of them what into freshman year being like this is what
I'm gonna do with my life I know I'm doing I mean everybody's like that some
people are really really confused and don't know what they want to do but as
for me I was kind of dead set like this is what I'm doing and I changed my mind
and that scared me for awhile but it's okay it happens a lot of people do it
majority of college students change their major and as I said it's just it's okay its okay
to change your mind because you don't realize so many things whenever you get
to college 2 I need my alone time there was a point where I literally went crazy
because I didn't have any alone time and I went ahead in it you know went on
my way to find it but I went crazy excited we're just always around people
number three it's okay to stay in it's okay to not go
out but number four that it's okay to go out and party - I think that you just
have to do whatever you want to do don't feel pressured to do either one because
both are perfectly perfectly perfectly fine you do you you do what's going to
make you happy number five time to go as long as everyone is that you're going to
question everything you're going to question like every life decision you've
ever made because it's scary as soon as you actually start putting all your
settings into action like am i doing the right thing but just push through I
promise you we'll figure everything out number six the freshman 15 is so so real
I pretty much gained the freshman 15 in the first semester it was kind of bad I
was more like maybe like freshman 10 to 12 but freshmen tended 12 in the first
semester the number 7 is that it doesn't have to be it really does it there's
ways around it obviously if you've been watching my videos as I said I gained
the freshman like 10 to 12 per semester but then I lost 20 pounds second
semester it can be done it really really can be done so it's real but it doesn't
have to be real number eight try new things you're going to be surprised by
what you'll like I discovered so many things that like I actually loved my
freshman year which one of them obviously is including working out I
don't realize that I ever loved working out until freshman year of college so
try new things you'll be surprised by what you like
number 9 campus food will get old quick I know I went to a big school so like
wow we have so many option C we have like three different cafeterias ooh the
hub we have all these things that would get old really quickly because the
cafeteria is served the same things on a weekly basis and you're going to get
tired of the same pizza like trust me it gets old really quickly oh and and I put
this in here but be ready to kind of have your body have a little bit of
backlash on you for eating campus foods not just weight gaining or I feel like
digestive we'll leave it at that number 10 mattress pads will save your
life in vest in a mattress pad my go to school was more comfortable than my bed
home that's because I had like two mattress pads it was the best thing ever
number 11 you will not fail to be woken up in the middle of the night by drunk
people people be coming back drunk people will be loud in the hallways and
I'm necessary people like people are just loud and you will not fail to be
woken up by someone I wait every night but hopefully you're like me and you can
just roll over and go back to sleep number 12 take time to reach out to your
friends from home and really at take time to reach out to everybody from
home your family misses you they want to hear from you they wanna
know how things are going I know it's kind of annoying that every time you go
home I was like how's college how's it going but this is their first time being
away from you as much as this is your first time being away from them so reach
out to them they will love to hear from you number 13 nobody is going to be
there to hold your hand you have to figure things out for yourself that has
to do with kind of everything you have to figure out how to manage yourself and
manage your own time and it can be difficult but try to establish your
routine you're going to figure it out I'm not
trying to scare you but you have to realize that you don't have mommy and
daddy there to hold your hand number 14 take advantage of your friends
being close by in my case a lot of my friends are literally right across the
hall or right down the hall but even just having friends across campus that
is so close there's never going to be a time in your life most likely that your
friends are going to be walking distance from you all of them for the most part
so take advantage of everybody being so close because this may be the only time
realized that you have that number 15 is appreciate your newfound freedom you
know obviously you know my parents ticklers but obviously I had to you know
listen to what they're saying and had to you know answer to them but here you are
completely on your own and appreciate that but the number 16 is to be smart
about it don't be stupid don't get into any trouble be smart
about your decisions but also have fun with your freedom number 17 is even with
all this make sure you have time and take the time to reflect upon yourself
reflect upon where you're at if everything is going well because you
have to take the time to really make sure that you're okay and that you're
where you need to be number 18 is a fun one you don't always have to go to class
but it's a good idea to go obviously you're going to learn much more being in
class than not going to class there are different clubs that's very easy to skip
but it's always a good idea to go don't fall into the habit of not going
class number 19 is you are going to discover so many new things about
yourself just everything is going to change for you and number 20 is you will
not be the same person as you were when you graduated ah I am a completely
different person than I was a year ago when I finished high school but that's
the beauty in it you grow up so much in one year and you learn so many new
things about yourself it's amazing so take it and enjoy I promise you
college is so much better than high school by far do new things try new
things you know find what you love get involved Dewar's me you want to do
because college is really a new experience and i know that you guys are
going to love it so i hope you guys enjoy this video if you have any other
called requests for me please please please let me know and let me go so much
