Replying to 10k Posts and Advice to College Freshmen

Damn, thats a lot of posts on a forum. Rather than make a thread dedicated to cool photos or lols i want to make a thread to help out incoming college freshmen.

My college experience was different than most so i cant really speak to the dorm/social bit. I went to a small school and immediately lived off campus.

What i can advise on is classes and perception. Your teachers arent always right. Take everything they say with a grain of salt. STEM classes will be more objective but even then personal bias will be present. I mean more like your sociology and psychology classes youre required to take as a freshman.

You will most likely hang on your teachers every word and adopt their opinions as your own because they will seem smart and you want to emulate them. Don't do this. Use the information they present to form your own opinion. This will allow you to think critically and really start to think like an adult.

It is so much more rewarding to form your own opinion rather than regurgitate others. It will help shape the rest of your life and the man/woman you are going to be. It will build character. You will care about your opinions and defend them because they are solely yours and no one elses.
