College student here, can confirm these hacks are all awesome. Allow me to emphasize: Never EVER buy a text book before you attend the first class, like 70% of the time the prof will tell you you don't actually need it. No one expects you to come to class with all the materials the first day in college, so don't worry!

with the command strips, wait until you actually see your dorm to see the paint/wall condition because the command strips work fine in my dorm and i can't use thumb tacks on the walls because of the building material it's made of. you can also ask your RA to make sure because they'll probably know and they'll recommend what to do to avoid charges lol. if you DO rip the paint off, see if you can file a maintenance request form to fix it before the end of the semester. you don't get charged for anything you file a request form for as long as you submit it before move out time. ALSO you can make friends with the art students on campus because chances are they'll have SOMETHING you can use to fix whatever you broke so that you aren't charged for it or they might know someone who can fix it for you. if you ever need something pretty random that you doubt anyone will have to let you borrow, chances are an art student will have it.

I went to a summer camp once and was on the top bunk. I woke up on the bottom bunk though and was insanely confused. I asked my roommate and she said I fell off the bed in the middle of the night. I asked how I got on the bottom bunk and she told me I crawled up. I asked if I said anything since I remembered nothing and she said I said "ow"

I can tell you as a college student that I used every single one of these hacks and they make life so much easier. I think the only times I took an 8am class is when the good professors are teaching at that time

[EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

PLEASE I STILL HAVE LIKE 2 YEARS BEFORE COLLEGE AND IM LOOKING AT THIS STUFF BECAUSE I HATE NOT KNOWING WHAT IM SUPPOSED TO DO. THANK YOU FOR SOMEWHAT QUELLING MY ANXIETY

I’m not even in high school, but i still watch these videos like my life depends in it 😂

True story about that last one... the first morning ever that I woke up in my college dorm, I FELL OFF THE BED ON THAT HARD FLOOR. That really hurted. My bed wasn't even that high, it was like 4 ft off the ground, but STILL. It's quite a morning when you leap off the bed to turn your alarm off, before realizing your bed is in the air 😂

Going into student teaching now, and so many of these are accurate. (Though I didn’t have the issue with command strips because my current school housing has cinderblock walls)

[starman_max]

I'm graduating high school soon and I will DEFINITELY be using all this advice. Thanks.

with the textbook thing as well, ALWAYS wait until after the first day to purchase it because chances are the professors will either give you access to the textbook online for free, just the pages you need for their class, or they tell you the specific version you need and you can find a free pdf version of it instead

2:14 I just started college this fall and my schedule was not that spread out originally:
Start of the semester- M/W/Th- 2 T-3 F-0. Now I have it as M/W/Th- 1 T-2 F-0. I’m glad that I was able to drop some of my classes before it was too late. It definitely makes my first semester of College a lot less stressful.

"it's worse then the divorce court" that had me wheezing 😂😂

[rileyywhited]

I’ve still got four years until college, but it’s never too early to start planning, right?

[lunalovegood]

“That is against the rules” (Mac and cheese bit) lmao as he WINKS 😂😂

[linnoell]

for the first tiktok, to cover up the holes, use white-out as well. but I recommend blue-tack more.

[albaaviles]

I love how I’m watching this instead of studying for finals to get into a good college. Best part is I’m not even going to an American college (I’m Spanish so I’ll probably go to a uni here in Spain)

[rosemarsh]

why aren't there more likes? These are so helpful!

[sunshinez]

Lol this reminds me a thousand times of college. I collected these tips mentally mostly in my first semester and by my third semester I felt like a walking college advice encyclopedia

Me: A high school sophomore “Cool, I’m gonna forget all of this”

[tailsmad]

I don't know why.. I just like the idea of college. It's probably that everything is down to me for once since in college you have so much more freedom. Like.. going to the bathroom!
College: just go whenever
Secondary school(high school): nahh, just piss on the seat. You aren't going anywhere.
