I get this question from time to time so just in case you were wondering if I am attending a community college or university.. I am attending the typical..4 year university! Majoring in Pre-Pharmacy & Commuting.

Also I'm sure someone will ask :) Why did I choose to commute rather than dorm?

- Personally I'm just not a dormer. I love the feeling of being home. Aside from lovely home cook meals, and a familiar area... The comfort of laying in my bed at the end of a long day is just priceless to me. The freedom of commuting is also lovely! For my preferences and lifestyle commuting is much more convient for me :D

Sam, you probably don't have this problem b/c you seem super energetic, but have you ever had one of those classes where you just can't seem to stay awake or keep from dozing off? I start college next week and I'm super nervous b/c in lecture style classes, I can't keep my eyes open!! (Its sooo embarrassing when the teacher catches me nodding lol!!) You mentioned snacks...any other tips?? What works for you?? Help!! Thanks girlie :)

[saaammage]

@glamchicka1993

Haha I'm not actually energetic at all.. I'm sleepy in alllll of my classes. Always have been, even throughout high school because I get very bored LOL I bring sour candy with me now because that helps wake me up since the flavor is so strong. (I love sour patch kids hehe)

[glamchicka1993]

@saaammage

Lol!! Sour patch kids!! You are a genius (why didn't I think of that)???

Have any of your teachers/profs ever caught you dozing in class?? If so, do you just like excuse yourself and go for a walk or something, or would you suggest just snacking/trying to fight the heavy eyelids?? Lol sorry for all the questions, I'm just so nervous!! You are the best Sam!!!

[Lulurita101]

What are you studying to be?

[sweetkss1231]

i just finished my first semester of college and im preparing for my second semester that starts jan. 23rd . can you do a college school supplies haul ?

[mucholuv2u]

I just graduated college and these are all things I've done! Great advice!! P.S. Enjoy college while it lasts because once you're done you're gonna miss it!

[EmmyGtube]

I think it's best for a freshman in college to live on campus, it is the easiest and fastest way to make friends other than clubs

[Famida1]

Are you able to highlight on rented textbooks??

[MsMakeupFanForever]

Man, I seriously wish I saw a video like this when I first started college! This is SUPER thorough. Listen up cause she knows what she's talking about.

@Jbsa1998 Most classes will have a "group project" due near the final exams. So if you have a presentation, other people will be up there with you. Know that there's plenty of people that will trip over themselves during their speech so it's nothing to be afraid about. I'm an extreme introvert, and I've been challenged and encouraged to be a little more bold. I can say that, although it wasn't easy, it was worth the struggle to become who I am now. If you want to know more about what I did, ask.

[ClaiomSolis]

@Jbsa1998 i think it really depends on your type of class but i do recommend that instead of doing speeches alone you do it in a group that way when you are speaking in front you will feel more secure that your not alone and you don't have a lot of time speaking.

[Mus1cL1ves]
