Back2School Tips Thread

Lets share your secret school tips and tricks and life hacks -middle school, high school, college and university, in preparation for the upcoming (or if you already started school, das kewl2)

I'll start off:

- If you don't feel like studying, tell yourself to study for 20 minutes, and chances are, you'll be studying for much longer.
- If there is spare time, try to work/study ahead. This will give you time ahead, and works as a good spare when emergencies come up.
- Skipping every now and then is fine, but avoid making it a habit, especially the earlier classes.
- If there is somebody you like, DO NOT be afraid to tell them.
For guys: Its about creating the perfect situation to confess your true feelings. Ask the girl if you could tell her something, and try to drop hints that it will be a love confession. You would want the girl to know that you like her before you tell her, to prepare herself mentally, to avoid having her reject you out of surprise (happens too often, the girl isn't given enough time to properly think about it), and for the girl to consult her friends (try not to flirt with her friends, as they will say that you do. Being friendly is okay, but don't over do it).
For girls: Just ask the guy out. Any guy will be thrilled knowing that a girl likes them.
- Consult with your teacher if your grades are doing poor, they will always reach out to help you, but ONLY IF YOU ASK.

That's all the tips from me, for now. I can go more in depth for relationship help or issues, if anyone would like.

Go to your professors office hours. They WANT you to come and ask questions. They are there to help you!

"For girls: Just ask the guy out. Any guy will be thrilled knowing that a girl likes them."

I'd honestly say no to a girl that would ask me out. I'd just stay as friends since I'd rather take a few months to get to know them as a friend first.

As for tips... get to know your campus, know where the fights happen, drugs are used, and avoid them.

In a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, be the peanut butter.

The peanut butter goes with everything.

Never pay attention in class. Don't talk to anybody. Bump into the tall seniors. Sounds about right, right?

ask your professors first before you go to the bathroom. you don't want to accidentally offend them by walking out on their lecture.

Apply for free or reduce lunch programs so you don't go hungry while getting your education.

Make sure to buy all of your textbooks from the college bookstore. You will save tons of money instead of buying it off the internet. That money also goes to the lovely companies that provide us with vast amounts of information in convenient heavy book forms.
