College Freshman - Tumblr Posts
A few tips from a fellow Audhd who just moved into college for the first time (these won’t work for everyone but they’ve helped me)
- Put your medication in those weekly box things old people use, does wonders to help you remember if the meds have been taken or what day you will run out
- Put doodles on your calendar/planner that match the event. Adding a little doodle helps me remember to actually put things down because it makes it fun
- Painters tape and sharpies do WONDERS to help organize things, they may not hold posters up that well but they sure are good at marking cabinets
- Don’t sit in your bed when you have break time, you will have a hard time getting out. If your dorm has a common area with a couch/chairs sit there or sit outside and enjoy the fresh air
- Use what I like to call “the summer camp rule” in the dining hall. You gotta drink one full glass of water before you get your “fun drink” like coffee or soda. (This was the rule at my summer camp and it did wonders usually I just wanted more water afterwards and didn’t even get the fun drink)
-Back to the painters tape MARK YOUR KEYS. Use some tape and pen to label what key goes where and some extra info on them (dorm room, mailbox number etc)
Will update if I learn any more tricks
"College Procrastination"
Does anyone procrastinate at college? Or is it just me? I still can't break out of the habit, especially when it's for classes I don't give a shit about.
Does anyone have any advice for college anxiety? Like how do I stop myself from being so anxious. My classes start on September 6th and while that's basically a whole month a way it's approaching quickly. I'm so nervous about where I'm gonna sit, who I'm gonna talk to, and if I even belong there.
It's a community college so it's relatively small, I'm just so nervous. I'm practically going in alone bc I have only a few friends and most of them live far out or aren't going to college.
I know it's supposed to be exciting but what if my professor is a mean person? What if I somehow miss an assignment? See this is my anxiety rambling. I know I'm ready for college now, just so nervous.
Like the thought of college use to excite me but due to my depression and anxiety worsening, man idk it got bad lol.
So yea, any advice lmao
currently trying to romanticize the fuck out of fall weather because i'm moving to northern washington for college in 2 weeks and i have the worst case of seasonal depression known to humankind and winter quarter will not be pretty
