Ye gads! college next thursday...any advice?

Question

I'm going into it as a free young laddy. I'm 16 and very much enjoying my time off at the moment and i'm off to college next thursday. I've enrolled already into the art and design course and it's off a go-go! any advice for it? I mean it's college! No school anymore! no 12 year old kiddies running around my feet or ringing bells or immature unhelpfull ar-ses wandering around me each day. Any advice for thursday? I have no idea what i'm getting myself in to. I'm happy to just walk in but have no idea what to expect.

Answer 1

Well hello there.

On monday i'm going back for my 3rd year at college,so i guess you could say i have experience.

You'll be fine,honestly it's great you can be who you want to be and make new friends.

Just be friendly and open,don't be afraid to talk to people i swear they won't laugh they'll talk back.

Especially approach people on the same course as you,you've taken the same course so will have lots to talk about.

Good luck (:

Answer 2

Awh I love the way American/Canadian people are so shocked about college at 16.

I find myself shocked that they stay in High School 'til they're 18.

I love the difference.

I go to college next year, but from my taster days the only thing to really remember it to make GOOD first impressions and smile and be friendly to people.

Don't say anything really stupid either.

Answer 3

wait...your 16 so how are you going to college? people are still in high school at that time. (or maybe its just like that for me in canada i guess)

um..just relax. focus. make some friends. the key anywhere is to be friendly. you will adjust soon.

Answer 4

well a good bit of advice i can give you is getting some good nights sleep from now until thursday. get your body clock freshened up! i am 16 starting on the 9th and well after doing pretty much F*** all all summer but stay up till 3 i am really tired lol

if your college is like mine then you will have tutors i presume? i suggest going into the room and have a quick and promt look around the room. if you think you can see someone you reckon you'd get on with, go and sit next to them and try and make friends with them, you don't have to become best friends but this will probably be useful for you.

ummm.. ask the teachers you have about more detail of the course so you can have a wider knowledge of what's ahead.

make sure you have all your equiptment ready at earliest as possible. get yourself prepared and the new start thats ahead, oh yeah and like im about to do when i can be bothered clear up all the garbadge from last year lol

enjoy it!
