Hello internet,
As you might have guessed, yes, I am adjusting to the college life. "Jae, does that mean you're partying and going buck wild?!"
No.
I have come to realize that the party life isn't a lifestyle I want or need. I have found myself to be the "sleep all day and work all night" kind of student. I mean, it's currently 1:07 am as I type this post out.
To be honest, I haven't been on my A-game recently but, I would say that was just me having a bad month.
I am going to be giving 6 tips to "the soon to be" or "already" college students.
1. The Dollar store is life.
Trust me when I say this. You can find so many useful things in the dollar store that would cost a fortune anywhere else. Notebooks? Pens and pencils? White-out? The Dollar has it. They also have snacks, drinks, and daily hygiene products.
2. Purdue Owl
This site can help inform you on MLA, APA, and any other crazy formatting English teachers will make you do.

3. Grammarly
This site has helped me write so many papers. It checks for grammar, spelling, and plagiarism. One of the best websites on the internet.

4. Wolfram Alpha
This site can help you understand those crazy question that MAT 110,117 and 142 throws at you.
5. Exercise.. Really.. Just Do It..
Honestly the freshman (insert year here) exists. All of that newfound freedom leads to overeating or eating foods that are horrible for your body. Try to exercise at least twice a week. It is worth it.
6. Don't lose sight of your goal.
It is easy to get caught up in the social life your first year. The new places, different people, more freedom in classes. You should remember why you came to college in the first place. Whether it be to find the perfect job or to further your education. When you think about it, it can be a bit overwhelming and it will take a bit of time to become... well, whelmed.
Stay golden.
