:mjlol: who said about partying all the time. you guys took what I said out of context. I just said i was thinking of the fun side of college.

you guys saying I won't make it got me motivated tho.
We're just going off of the information you give us. Pretty much the first thing you mentioned was bringing back women to your place, so that kind of shows us where your mind is at. Socializing will happen on its own, don't prioritize it. You have to prioritize school work. Keep a handle on due dates and assignments. I've had damn near any type of schedule you can think of; M-F, M/W/F, Tu/Thur, Tu/Thur. Depending on your schedule and how many units you're taking, leisure time shouldn't occur until Friday and shouldn't last past midday Sunday - and this is coming from someone who has done some hardcore procrastination. Don't put yourself in a situation where you have to pull an all-nighter.

Understand that by us getting in that ass now ( :dame: ) you know what mistakes have already been made so that you don't have to make them too. Please, have your fun, but don't jeopardize the mission.

I'd avoid parties. Instead, join a few social clubs. Definitely try to aim for leadership positions in your chosen club (jobs don't give a damn if you are a member but they do care that you were/are a leader). Attend school functions related to your chosen degree.
Immediately create some type of rapport with your professors and begin looking for work that s/he may be offering if it's your chosen field of study.
Sometimes you will have to pester the professor for work or have him/her point you to another professor looking for eager students.

I'd also suggest you to worry about women/partying later - like, after college. Focus entirely on your field of study, joining clubs that pertain to that field, and finding work in that field early on. Do not wait.

What are you thinking about degree wise?

Dog I went through so much to make it to uni. I'm actually enjoying learning. But my god its this one class im in. other students are pissing me off.
I'm guessing one is a athlete by the fact dudes like 6'7. Dude is behind me just making those sigh noises and giving off horrible body language that he doesn't want to be there.

Then I feel like the others who piss me off in that class are freshmen for the fact they just look young.

The girls in the back keep laughing and talking- The professor called them out on it already and told them if it keeps going like this he will kick them out of his class.
Then this one dude always tryna crack jokes during the lecture and ask pointless questions to derail the class. Then he's made sly remarks on the low like "because this boring" "because im bored"

Like man this is a great opportunity to take something from college and these fools just there like whatever and its annoying the fukk out of me just because I went through so much help and support to get here so I'm honored and will take something from this meanwhile they just there just to be there.

Oftentimes you can find them by searching for the name of the textbook PDF on Google. Some areas are easier to find over others, I.e. technology over social sciences. The professor doesn't always use the book so don't trip. Also check your school's library ASAP and you might luck out. All else fails then make friends in class and they'll let you borrow, or drop them a couple of bucks and that should work too. eBay or Amazon you might be able to pick up a used version for less than 5 or 10 bucks. You never know.
