I recently graduated and completely agree with these tips (especially with not rushing yourself! I thought I would be able to use the same tools I used in high school in college and you it’s can’t so I’m glad you brought that up!)
Planning ahead is so so important if you’re studying alongside doing any type of work. The end of semester can creep up fast and suddenly everything is due at the same time 😅I got into the habit of finishing my assessments 1 week before they were due ( happened accidentally one time as I thought the due date was a week earlier 😫) & it’s the best thing I ever did. Loved these tips ♥️
I am a senior in college in the United States and I struggled a lot trying to fit in and not stand out as a newcomer when I first started. Now I am a peer and orientation leader for first year students encouraging them to take advantage of what I avoided. I loved this video!
@study sassy🐤 my advice is to ask the university about those options, I was able to transfer course credits and learn about the next college by emailing and calling the offices!
I’m so nervous for uni I’ve been watching every uni tips video I can find and hands down this is the best one yet, it’s really helpful but also quite comforting :) thanks!!
I'm a 22fall new undergrad, thank you so much for all the advices! Honestly all the stuff you've given here are so thoughtful I had similar thoughts before but you said it out well :)
the graduates always give the best advice! thanks macerly, this has been so helpful. i’ll be starting uni in London pretty soon, so this was so relevant and informative💓
Thank you for sharing your tips! I feel like you really put some thought in what you wanted to tell new students and were very genuine about your experiences. As someone who’s about to start uni, I appreciate that a lot
Oh my gosh... back in 1982 I took Chinese history as well. There must be something about professors that teach this class. I fell in love as well. Politics aside China has always been one of those places in the world I've wanted visit. Mr Mann was the nicest kindest professor I had in college. On nice days we'd have class outside. Thank you for being back such a wonderful memory.
Honestly this was a wonderful video! It would be really helpful if you could make a video about how to read “readings” assigned for classes. What is the structure or the steps or the approach towards reading the “readings” and understanding them.
I wished I saw this video before I started uni. However, I don’t regret what I’ve learnt and experienced throughout my 4 years of uni. I was completely online before Covid 19. I was completely used to being fed the information we needed to know as well as doing my own research. So it was a bit of a shock when lecturers placed emphasis on our own readings and came to class asking questions based on what we’ve read instead of feeding us information. That’s why the acceptance letter said “read for your degree” 😂. So definitely the point about readings as well as knowing you’re own reading and note taking technique is crucial. Thanks for this Macerly! All the best on your future endeavors !
I'm also going to a foreign public university in Europe for my masters. First thing that I did was opt for the local language course since English is only spoken at university and local language and culture dominates the everyday life. Also its better to have a formal approach for peer interactions and then become informal when people know each other properly. I have also chosen university housing since finding accomodation for foreign students can be a daunting task and focus on academic pursuit will be diverted.
This is my 4th year in university. I have no social life. I am drowning in homework, all I do is study. I work only 1-2 day a week to provide for the bare necessities and live a crappy quality of life. I take the least amount of classes possible to receive scholarships and grants. At the rate I am going, I still have 2-3 years left. I don’t understand what I am doing wrong. My professors care a lot, but can be so critical and logical, and I feel as if I have worn their empathy thin. I have gone to them for help so many times, but now I feel so burned by them that I can’t bring myself in front of them again because it just hurts too much.
@@AHalfDeadDuckee what do you want to do with your degree? You have to have a balanced life. Meaning time block some time for socializing. You are at an age where you need to learn to navigate social situations so they aren't all new to you in the workplace.
@@AHalfDeadDuckee you also need to take advantage of campus counseling to take about how you are feeling. Unfortunately you've chosen a degree and minor that requires a lot of critical thinking, reading and writing as opposed to actively doing or performing a task to learn the concepts.
@@AHalfDeadDuckee for study and balance look up time blocking. I had my student employees do this. 7 days a week for every hour tell me what you are doing. Am schedule, travel to classes, classes, break, snacks, lunch, dinner, study time, grocery shop, work, work break, travel home, group study, research time..... then are you making the most of your study time or is it a disorganized mess? There is a free Coursera by Barbara Oakley on Learning how to learn. Plus a video here on TH-cam. Stop and take the time to listen and review the course. It will definitely help redirect you from the traditional way we think of learning. The holidays are here so you should be able to do this over your break. There another tool called ANKI for flash cards and concept learning. Check it out.
My first term at uni has honestly been a bit of a mess. I understand that I only have to pass my first year, however I’m not used to not getting top grades, especially in a subject I’m so passionate about. I’m finding it hard to reach out to both academic advisors and people on my course just to make friends. It’s very lonely and a huge leap in expectations/standards, so I just really hope things get better in my second term.
My first term of uni was also rly shit. Midway thru second term it got good and since then I haven’t looked back, in my third year and I have great friends. The cliche advice is the best, just be urself
Moving to the US as an international student in literally ONE MONTH! It’s INSANE! I can’t wait but I’m also stressed. I’m more stressed about TSA 😂 Americans I knew made me nervous abt it
Heyy! I love your channel and I've been following you since I started applications, and now I'm towards the end of my fall semester of freshman year! Crazy! Thank you for all the college tips and encouraging videos. Suggestion: share your study playlist with us!! I love your video's soundtracks! Good luck on your next steps. Best!
Hey Maddie, I was just wondering if you could suggest a reading(s) that you would recommend for the Chinese history class you took? It sounds super interesting :)))
I can't get any marketing/management job while studying full-time. Should I switch to part- time if full- time doesn't offer to have job opportunities?
Have you heard of Jamworks, I'm a university student and I use it. It takes notes for me and lets me make highlights that I can quiz myself on it's so useful!
@@madzen112get some noise cancelling headphones, university isnt hard as long as you’ve got self discipline tho ur major plays a part in it so stick to what you now or r passionate abt
Thank you so much, Marcely! your video has reminded me to be patient & gentle with myself and that is okay to not have everything figured out because #process. thank you for the warmest hug

What advice can you give to someone moving to a big city for the first time?

you look like sasha luss💕
the music is too loud, I could recognize your speeches clearly in your video. hope you could improve it in your next video
"Learn the system of academia understand it and then play the game according to it's rules"
why most Norwegians speak very fluent english in American accent?
Just keep in mind, if you're in STEM it will be significantly more intense.
college is where you learn to be your own teacher.
I'm Indonesia..
I'm waiting for you to come on vocation with family
