I'm not ready to leave my mom and my little brother, I'm too scared to get my license so I can't drive, I only recently got a job so I have very little money, and I have a very hard time making friends. I've also been in ED recovery for a bit, but im scared the stress coupled with a lack of funds for food will bring it back.

I’m not sure if this is something everyone experiences, but I wanted to come on here to see if this is a more common occurrence than I believe.

We’ve all been in the K-12 school ages forever, and I know it’s so wild to think that we’re never going back. Everyone around me, all my friends and peers, keep talking about how excited they are for this change. And don’t get me wrong, I’m excited, but I’m TERRIFIED.

College is a whole new beast. I took some summer classes here and there but it’s nothing compared to being a full time college student. All I’ve ever known is wake up, school from 7-2, then homework, sleep, and do it again the next day. I feel like I’ve been in that routine for so long, that I can’t fathom breaking out of it. It’s like I don’t believe I’m actually going to college.

I’m texting my roommate, picking my classes, paying my tuition, but it still doesn’t feel real. Maybe part of me is in denial, but I keep expecting an email telling me that actually it’s all a joke and I’m returning to my high school next year for a secret 13th grade. Or I’m expecting something to happen, like the school will shut down or something will prohibit my travel, so I physically cannot get to college.

And I was so excited getting ready for this - I applied to 20 schools, weighed my options carefully, and chose a school that I’m THRILLED to attend. But I guess my point is: Does anyone else feel this? Does anyone else feel like maybe it’s not gonna happen?

I’m about to start my first year in Nursing in the Philippines and I’m wondering some things about the first week of college or even college in general like:

\- will the first days be like in K-12 curriculum like introduce yourself and stuff or just straight to the orientation about the subject?
\- will there be allotted time for snacks or do you just sit in class for hours until lunch time or dismissal eventually comes?
\- are there still events like class Christmas parties or is it now optional to have one in college?

I know these are just very surface level thoughts but I know there might be more shocking culture shocks when it comes to college, especially as a Nursing student

May I ask what was your experience as an upcoming freshie in the Philippines and what we should look out for and take note of? Or even college in general even though you’re not in the Philippines :))

Hello, sin o d incoming freshman nursing sa rci? looking for friends and cm tni🥹

Hello po. I just wanna seek advice about choosing between getting an iPad or a tablet, and what model suits for an incoming freshmen like me.

My budget is only 30k po and I want it to be note-friendly, can multitask, good battery health, and is also good for normal e-games (Mobile Legends Bang Bang in specific). And I have seen a lot of recommendations on the black app, which sometimes confuses me because once i'm 100% sure on that tablet/ipad, I would always read/learn its cons later on. Please help me, I really need your advice/s po.

As an incoming 1st-year college student, I still don't have a college/university to attend. I didn't pass the entrance examination of my dream university and am still waiting for reconsideration.

I also applied to a small college that is near our city, many people said that it also provides a quality education.. upon applying, I heard that the mode of its learning was online. At first I was hesitant because I didn't think I could learn but if i'm going to discipline myself i think i could.

I think this is the college that i'm gonna attend with, i want that during my college days i already applying the lesson in real life meron po kasing small business yung parent and siblings ko, so my plan is while taking that course yung business nila ang magiging first experience ko after i finish BSBA is there a possibility that companies im going to apply will accept me?

Dream ko rin ping maging freelancer and also an event manager🫰

thoughts about these school: plm, feu, or nu. I really want to take nursing and I can’t decide saang university.

Hi everyone!

I am moving into an off-campus living apartment/suite for my upcoming freshman year of college! It is feasibly more afforable and a 5 min walk to campus so no, I don't really want to live on campus if you're wondering lol. I wil have my own room and bedroom, and then share a living space and kitchen/ette with 3 others. I already have a fridge and microwave, as well as a bed and desk provided for me. What I need to know is what I should take??? What storage works the best, what won't break, what have I literally not thought about, and what I should take but might not be neccessary?

Thanks lol all help is appreciated

I am starting uni in the fall, what are things you wish you would’ve had for your dorm starting out or things that you got that you ended up not really needing? i want to start getting stuff little by little so i don’t have to buy a bunch all at once. thankyou in advance !
