How about "study"...
That's the best tip I can give y'all.
I graduate from college in 11 days.

[bums]

That's it?. "Be yourself, do you"? No words of wisdom about time management, getting enough sleep, managing schedules, not getting too drunk, feeding yourself properly, staying in contact with professors..And seeking help if you need it (over 50% of college students suffer from some form of mental illness at some point during their years of study).

Practical advice > half hearted tumblr quotes.

My only accomplishment this week at college was when me and my friends taped an action man and Barbie figure to the projector and started singing wrecking ball...

So basically college isn't for an education its for making friends and finding yourself

[MrYondaime]

Best thing to get out of college is knowing the right people.

Connections is everything.

So go make some friends that'll benefit you emotionally, physically, and definitely Financially.

I graduated college weeks ago and I still don't know what I want to do after.

Taking your time in college just means more debt when you finally get out. You can't waste time and money on taking classes that you want to take.

So far in college, I've realized that professors are willing to give you extra time to finish assignments if you ask them for it. In fact, a lot of them will try to help you in some way to complete it. Whether that be giving you references, or giving you the email of a good tutor who works at the school. "Never be afraid to ask for help."

I'm drenched in tears because college ends in a week for me and I have not accomplish any of those things you guys mentioned

[DellaSirrah]

here is advice: ALL (most) MATH TEACHERS IN COLLEGE DON'T HAVE AN ENGLISH ACCENT SO GET READY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

[Patricia]

I would have joined a lot more things if I hadn't been drowning in work, homework, responsibilities, worrying about my GPA, and sleep deprivation.

"The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"

[jaf]

All these sound like cheesy vague self-help quotes my mom would post on Facebook lmao

[pbass]

Those are some expensive friendships. Myself and my 40k of debt fully regret going to college

[tillll]

I'm in my 4th year of college and I still haven't made a friend lol

[JimmyG]

I dropped out of college to become a professional dank meme maker

[NelsonHernandez-kkxp]

"If I don't dream no one will dream for me" that was good advice thanks BuzzFeed

[MelissaAlnardo]

graduating from university next month, and the one most important thing I took away from my four years is that you just have to stop giving a damn about what others think about you. I know it's easier said than done but if you remain self conscious or keep worrying about how others view you, it will cause you to avoid new opportunities and interacting with others, which could have led to numerous wonderful outcomes. so, be open minded, be curious, explore, interact, work hard and enjoy the chaos life of a student because although it may seem like a long time away, you will eventually no longer be a student and will regret the chances you didn't take when they were available to you and you had the time.
