Some of them are so chill that you can ditch most of class so long as you can handle the final.
It’s all about playing it by ear.
YOU DON’T ASK TO GO TO THE BATHROOM PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE EMBARRASSMENT.
It is NOT harder than high school. You’re more or less ready for it if you do ok in high school, ok?
Seriously. I got A’s in AP classes yet was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to handle college.
Surprise surprise?
AP classes are harder than college classes.
No joke.
College professors are a lot more liberal on what counts as a “right” answer.
Plus they give you points for caring.
Some classes give you points just for showing up.
There’s an atmosphere of controlled panic, and you are not the only one.
You can pretty much go up to anyone and say god life is a nightmare and finals are gonna kick my ass, and they’ll go saaaaame, regardless of how genius they’re supposed to be.
Seriously.
College student here.
High school teachers are the WORST of liars.
They’ll tell you college is a “whole nother level” but that’s such horse shit.
High school is a standardized sheep counting facility.
College is a research lab full of cats that may or may not do what you expect.
Honestly my parents have been talking to me about college for years, and I’m legitimately drowning in anxiety. This is the single most helpful, relieving, beneficial thing I have ever fucking heard, and it’s off a shady website where we go to rant about our fandoms and political views. And I am 100% okay with that.
what they say: I hate tumblr
what they mean: even though I am grateful tumblr helped me being more aware of social issues this site is taking these too far and has developed some kind of mob mentality which seems to take it as their duty to punish every “problematic” thing anyone has ever done, completely ignoring that they never were perfect themselves.
Their harassment is almost always over the top, and the mob happily goes after anyone as long as someone can claim it’s been an act of oppression.
Therefore posting an opinion is very risky and accompanied with literal fear of harassment as this mob does not know when to stop, and cases of doxing have never been criticized either, and if I were to post legit criticism on some oppressed group I had a 50% chance to find people agreeing with me and 50% chance to be treated like the fucking antichrist.
if you’re american and coming to australia, I’m gonna go ahead and say that you should be 100 percent way more worried about being king hit by a dude named “dane” in a bintang singlet than any fucking spiders that exist here
