As a freshman in college, I think that budgeting is sincerely important. It was a good tip to save money, but don't save money for "parties," and "going out." Those aren't priorities. Hidden costs are everywhere. Orientation fees, housing, meal plans, laundry, food, club fees, greek life fees, emergencies, co-pay on university health care. These things add up to thousands of dollars. Yes, go out. Have fun. But it is not a priority, and definitely not what you should be saving for.
@@myshiteu4934 Well, if you mean what groups to avoid in high school, definitely avoid people who do not care about their future. Most of the time, it's not about "avoiding" rather than just staying within a group of people that have goals and want to work hard. I know that personally, I am not the best "ScHoLaR" student, but since I am in a program that separates my classes from regular education, I was very influenced by the "sMaRt" kids, so now as a senior that is about to graduate in a couple months, that really helped. If you see that your friends don't take any advanced classes, do not gaf about their grades and such, you do not have to cut them off, just take those advanced classes on your own and make friends there too. As you grow and get your priorities set, you'll find your friends shift, and that is ok. Just be kind and responsible first and foremost and you will be fine. Good luck!!
i'm a senior but i'm most confused about how the hell do i start being an adult? like taxes and forms and shit?? I wish they had a class for those things at my school
riceonmyneck ASMR ugh right?? I asked my math teacher about why we aren’t taught how to do taxes and he said “no one actually does their own taxes you pay someone else to do it.” 🤨 like uhhhh ok but how do you know if someone is scamming you or doing your taxes wrong??
do dual enrollment instead of ap classes. it give you a REAL taste of college and the way AP is set up is to be incredibly hard for no reason. the dual enrollment is just easier in general.
This is very true. I started dual credit my junior year and I am graduating high school with 60 college credits through doing dual credit and online classes
Supplemental advice! 1) While getting a 4 or 5 on AP tests is super awesome and can get you out of classes, if that doesn't happen and you end up getting a 1, 2 or 3, don't worry because it doesn't hurt you at all! 2) It's also so important to go to your advisor!!! But also do your own research because sometimes even advisors can mess up 3) Vitamin C is your best friend!
Also look into exactly what score you need to get to receive credit! I got credit for my statistics class that I got 3 on the AP test, it changes for certain classes!
Shannon same! While I only passed two of my 6 AP classes, I took the exact same classes in college and got As in those classes because I already knew the information.
Also about the AP classes, even if you get a good score and the university doesn’t accept the credit, it’s a good cushion to make sure you get a good gpa
I love how you addressed gaining weight. I gained a few pounds but that is normal in your late teens/early 20s! You're the only one who has said it is normal to gain a few pounds!
I know that the cost of college is high because of things like tuition, boarding, and books-but as a person in college right now, there is such a thing as just not going out to eat all the time, or avoiding spending discretionary money on parties? People from lower-income families do not have the luxury of going to college to have fun.
You definitely can cut spending on frivolous things, but saving money to go out and have fun is still a good tip. Because if all you do is study and stay in your dorm the homesickness will kick in way too soon and for some people even depression.
Kyah Probst you can be broke as hell and still have fun in college. You can show up to parties just because you don't have money doesn't mean your social life has to suck
Erin And this is based on your vast experience coming growing up in a lower-income family? I only ask because there is an astronomical difference between being "broke" and being "poor"-but I am merely being pedantic, not presumptuous. I wasn't saying that you can't have fun in college for fiscal reasons, of course not! but I am saying that you should certainly save up for school supplies, money in case something breaks or stops working, and any unexpected academic/hygienic purchases before you save up for going out to restaurants and parties. I just wanted to add to her tip-if you happen to come from a place where going out to eat is an acceptable, and primary, form of discretionary spending, then that's great, but for many people, it is not.
1) AP scores matter 2) Save up money before going to college 3) Go to your advisor before choosing classes 4) You might gain wait, don't stress about it 5) Don't rely on dorm curtains 6) Bring fans and sick day essentials 7) Rush sucks but is definitely worth it 8) Attend your classes 9) Focus on packing outfit essentials first 10) Have a recycling bin in your dorm room 11) Transferring is okay 12) You have to re-adjust when you come home
I would say if your school offers both dual credit and AP, take the dual credit! The credits are a for sure, so you don't have to test, and unless it's an IV League the college will be more apt to take a dual credit course over AP!
Just be aware that some places rank dual credit on a lower scale (my AP scale is on a 5.0 and dual credit is a 4.5), so if you’re relying on ranking in high school for acceptance/financial aid, it may hurt more than help.
at least where I live, dual credit is only guaranteed for in-state schools. I’ve heard many horror stories where someone took dual credit classes and then went out of state for school and none of the classes transferred because the schools didn’t accept them. so for someone who wants to go out of state for university, AP is more useful for me. so base your decisions on where you want to go to school. what you said is very true though!
in terms of the AP scores tip, AP scores matter on a college-by-college basis. Some colleges accept scores, some accept certain scores, & some don't accept any at all. Anyone's best bet would be to double check with the colleges they're applying to/the college they are attending :)
Can we talk about move-out because the amount of expensive af things that students throw away is CRAZY. I'm literally thinking of staying a bit later to go through the floors for things I can sell lolol
I am going to college in three weeks. But not to be negative at all but money just doesn't grow on tree's. I have saved next to nothing because all the supplies I needed came out of my paycheck and that goes for clothes as well. I am looking for a job in the city I am moving to because I plan on staying there for the rest of my life. Without the help of my parents I can say it is quite hard. But from what I know from other friends getting a job is going to help you. People don'tgo to college thinking only about parties. Me, myself all I can think about is finishing my 8-10 years in university then getting a job to financally pay for the life I am wanting to live (politics and law) But overall they are good ideas. People sugar coat what it is like and simply it is ard for most viewers. thanks xoxo
Late but also, to anyone in highschool, take college classes if your school offers them. No joke, they're free and the school pays for them and they often transfer to any public instate college and some private colleges
I am going to be a freshman at the University of Rhode Island and I have been very excited/nervous for this new chapter in my life to begin and this video honestly helped me sooooo much 💕
OMG yea a recycling bin !!! Y'all don't know how many times I've mistakenly thrown away piles of papers that have had my homework or notes mix in it into a nasty trash can
I randomly found your video scrolling through college stuff and I have honestly fell in love with your channel.. usually I don’t comment but I can’t believe how much your videos have helped me and I think your so beautiful and I love your style😭 thank you, you seem like such a sweet person too, wow. It’s hard finding genuine youtubers who are happy and passionate about what they do without trying so hard ❣️❣️
Please make a video about sorority rush! I'm honestly so confused about the whole process haha. I'm headed to Cuse this August and definitely considering rushing!
Awww, I don't know if she'll see this, but if she doesn't I thought I'd reply. I go to cuse, am going into my last year :( But I know how stressful it can be going into freshman year and the whole sorority rush thing, if you have any specific questions, just message me :)
I just want to point out that some students might lose a lot of weight their first year. I lost about 10 lbs my freshman year because I would forget to eat due to the amount of studying I did. Please try to manage your time well and eat some food -- you'll focus better on a full stomach.
I had. A lot of trouble making friends at orientation and it made me really depressed that I couldn't make any friends or rlly talk to anyone. Can you do an advice video on making friends at college? I'm rlly nervous tht I'm not gonna have any friends
The people in your orientation are only a small fraction of the people you'll have the chance to meet at college. I didn't meet that many people at mine either, but everything will work out how it's supposed to :)
I'm really glad you said that about transferring. I am going to a university in my city, and I am regretting my decision because everyone is going off to explore new places and I'm still here. I know I haven't started it yet, and I have to give it a chance, but I've already been thinking about transferring. My cousin and closest friend are going to Syracuse and they've talked it up so much that if I am not comfortable where I am, I plan on transferring to 'Cuse. I'm glad that it's not as weird to people as I thought!
The AP scores don't really matter towards college because you'll likely retake the class anyways (especially if the AP class you took is directed towards your major).
Rala Maqita same. I'm going across the country in a state none of my family is from or has been to. I'm a little nervous, but it's all good lol. good luck to you!
You look so summery! These are great tips, and I feel like I haven't heard a lot of them. I've already been in college a couple years but these were great reminders :)
Going through your college videos because I will be a freshman next year attending the University of Wisconsin just as your cousin is. The city and college pride is really one of a kind!
Thank you so much for making this video! As an incoming freshman at Syracuse, I can honestly say your videos about your first year at college are so helpful! (I can relate to the late add, I added Syracuse to my application list a week before the deadline hahaha!)
thank you for all these super helpful videos for college freshmen! your voice is so soothing, I love that there’s no annoying music, and you get straight to the point.
I cannot stress how important it is to go to your advisor! At my college, it is part of the curriculum for business students to plan out your "four" years in the first semester. It motivated me to do better in my classes and made me think that it wouldn't take as long as it will!
Another tip for anyone who is in highschool: if your school does dual credit classes [taking a class in high school, but you also get a college credit for it] TAKE IT. My dual credit classes were only like $75 each and I could transfer them to basically any college in-state.
guys if your high school has it PLEASE do dual credit classes!! from personally experience they are way better than ap classes. there’s no test at the end you just get the college credit for passing the class (not to mention you’re technically in college so you can get all the college student discounts like spotify, apple music, clothing stores, etc.)
GIRL YOU ARE SUCH A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING LIKE I THINK YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE HOW INSPIRING YOU ARE!!!!!!! PLEASE STAY YOU AND THANKS FOR MAKING MY DAY❤
When she said Avocados aren't a thing in college, I was like "what?!? At every college I've ever been to, you could just add avocados to your order". I didn't realize there's a serious avocado drought i
My advice is gets Tums for the first week you live on campus to adjust to the dining hall food and don't pick at your face to avoid embarrassing scars!
Liza Danso yeah, it's kind of strict but i think it's good because their graduation rate and percentage of students that get jobs in their field by the time they graduate are amazing
Rachel Bennett my school only allows 3 absences and you fail if your late or absent after the 3rd ( that depends on how the professor takes attendance) and your grade drops for every absence ( again depending on the professor).
One thing I'd say is that you should keep your class times and locations in mind when registering! Don't give yourself a class 10 mins after one class that is in a building across campus! Also if you know you're not a morning person, don't make yourself be one. Register early and get classes in the afternoon. I don't have any classes before noon this semester, and that's totally doable!
If your school offers Dual Credit classes, take them! I can't speak for other states, but every Uni/college in Texas has to accept dual credit classes by law. It's guarenteed compared to AP classes.
I’m a sophomore in high school and I am already prepping for college and I know my entire plan for where I’m going and what I am studying, I’m going to major in poetry and literature, along with an associates in film productions

These things add up to thousands of dollars. Yes, go out. Have fun. But it is not a priority, and definitely not what you should be saving for.
I agree, but most of this stuff is covered in my tuition -- minus emergencies and greek life/clubs because those are optional
THANK GOD you mentioned this. I start school in august and I haven't even been considering half of this stuff.
Hey can y’all tell me like what group to avoid or who to not hang out with because I’m 16 but time fly by so it’s good to know now ya know?

do dual enrollment instead of ap classes. it give you a REAL taste of college and the way AP is set up is to be incredibly hard for no reason. the dual enrollment is just easier in general.
Yessss and then you don’t have to worry about passing a single test
yess! i’m a senior and i did Dual Credit my junior year and this year, and i don’t have to take like 3 classes this fall , definitely recommend
Only do dual enrollment if
A. Your school offers it
B. The schools you want to go into accept the credits.
Adeena Ademu-John agreed!
This is very true. I started dual credit my junior year and I am graduating high school with 60 college credits through doing dual credit and online classes
DO NOT RUSH IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY, speaking for friends who made mistakes.
Cami Ferrell Oof
Dont rush what? Getting into college.
@Isabelle Ko What s that?

Kino rushing is the term for when you join a sorority/fraternity {depending on your gender}
I lost weight in college cause I didn't have the time or the money to eat
Damn that sounds sad
that’s relatable.
hell yeah that sounds like fun
When you had a job lined up for summer before college but corona said NO
I felt that.

YESS, moving back home is VERY hard. Definately takes mindful work
super helpful! I'm a junior in high school rn so this helped me refocus on school work and saving money
You kind of remind me of DJ from the Full House haha.
I like your style and vibes!

When she said Avocados aren't a thing in college, I was like "what?!? At every college I've ever been to, you could just add avocados to your order".
I didn't realize there's a serious avocado drought i
While 4’s and 5’s are important, don’t get discouraged with a 3. I’m a senior and my college is taking my 3 as elective credits!
I live in a little california town with an avocado festival every year in october
+Ava Gropper UMMM WHERE?????
My advice is gets Tums for the first week you live on campus to adjust to the dining hall food and don't pick at your face to avoid embarrassing scars!
keep coming across your videos and i’m not dissapointed!
Super helpful. And I love your room! Very simple, yet pretty.
I have to live without avocados?!?!?!
Lol edit: I’m staying California, nvm I’m safe.
I'm watching this even though i'm going into 9th grade this September ahahah you're my favorite TH-camr Margot ❤
Gabriella Marie same lol
going into my soph year of college and this was such spot on advice !! especially the avocado deprivation omfg
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ll be going to college next year and I was needing some honest tips, and this was just what I needed!
as a senior this year this video is blessin me
This video couldn't have been posted at a better time 🙌🏻
This was definitely helpful and so reassuring. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! I'm excited to be a college freshman this year!
you're so pretty, and your voice is so calming. i have looked up to you for the longest time.
your end picture thing with all ur social media handles is adorable!!! i'm obsessed
at my college if you have four absences you fail the class 😩
Rachel Bennett really? I don't go to college yet but I take classes at a nearby college and each class varies when it comes to latenesses and absences
Liza Danso yeah, it's kind of strict but i think it's good because their graduation rate and percentage of students that get jobs in their field by the time they graduate are amazing
Rachel Bennett my school only allows 3 absences and you fail if your late or absent after the 3rd ( that depends on how the professor takes attendance) and your grade drops for every absence ( again depending on the professor).
What college omg
what college do you go to
Class of 2019...cant believe im going to be a junior!
My college provides a recycling bin in every room but not a trash can 😂
i love your college videos, margot! i always find myself rewatching them and your vlogs.
Really really great tips! I agree with everything you said!
I just transferred for the second time and I'm moving away from home for the first time in about 2 months! Scared and exited :)
One thing I'd say is that you should keep your class times and locations in mind when registering! Don't give yourself a class 10 mins after one class that is in a building across campus! Also if you know you're not a morning person, don't make yourself be one. Register early and get classes in the afternoon. I don't have any classes before noon this semester, and that's totally doable!
I watch so many college related vids even tho my cegep is only 30 mins away 😂 theyre just soo interesting!!
I'm an incoming freshmen, I'm so nervous for college. thanks for the video, it was super helpful !
aaaaah yes i love college videos!!
thank you so much for these videos! I am going into my freshman year at Marist College and this has helped a lot!
Starting in the fall and I’m hoping corona doesn’t ruin too much of my freshmen year
I went to a school with Uniforms so I have not idea what my style of clothes is
i felt this
If your school offers Dual Credit classes, take them! I can't speak for other states, but every Uni/college in Texas has to accept dual credit classes by law. It's guarenteed compared to AP classes.
I've been binging your videos and LOVIN them xx
I’m a sophomore in high school and I am already prepping for college and I know my entire plan for where I’m going and what I am studying, I’m going to major in poetry and literature, along with an associates in film productions
I don’t know why I keep watching college videos. I’m only is 7th grade...
Mirei Root I remember watching videos about this stuff when I was your age, time flies
I’m going to 8th grade, and I’m so excited for college!
I literally cannot imagine a building without AC here in Texas... When its still 90 degrees in December sometimes lol
