reading this reminds me that ill have to go to college soon

As someone who studied a lot during college - it's not as hard as it is made out to be. I regret just studying all the time because college wasn't as fun for me. (Ofcourse if you are in courses like aerospace engineering, it is more demanding.)

So its okay if you are nervous. Just be sure to enjoy your time in uni as well.

i'm in college right now, and for the most part it is pretty lax. the only downside for me is how much schoolwork i have to do and keep up with. it can be super stressful if you're not good with time management like i am, but i am having fun! good luck on your college journey. :)

Speaking as someone who's about to finish college let me tell you that the experience is what YOU make it to be, i can understand your worries since i got in with no ambition or goal whatsoever, but now that I'm more involved in clubs and lectures, it's fun, i understand what I'm studying and I'm having a great time, it is also crucial to find a good crowd to hang out with, i enjoy it the most when I'm with my friends, i wish you the best in the future! And the education programme is a great choice! Teaching needs patience, but it's also a very fulfilling job!

honestly you're correct, be afraid, but as someone who's currently a univ student now turn your fear into anger when youre failing because it burns the brightest. LMAOA idk but it's a good fuel to push through. also find a good circle that your studies could benefit from, having friends in college are important imo.

It also depends on your course. Mine is in lined with medicine so it's not easy; but i choose what subject i get and it made studying easier. I think managing your is the key.

Managing your time*

Honestly do what YOU wanna do and it will be a good experience. If education doesn’t work out for u, try something else out! Ur still young there’s plenty of time, take it at ur own pace :3

high school and college are different. you have to be really self-reliant and driven to study in college. nobody is telling you what to do and watching you. however, you can also go part-time to manage your load and go to a community college first. I went straight to university and it was a HARD and a lot of pressure. I didnʻt have that fun experience that a lot of people had. but I studied full-time and also worked full-time (cause no other support) and I am also a very anxious person about deadlines and responsibilities. there was no option to do part-time for my studies. I did graduate well and got a job offer before graduation. so now I just read works of fiction about fun stuff people do at universities, lol.
you can absolutely do it, just go at your own speed and talk to others, who graduate from the same or similar program to see how it worked for them.

It's not as bad as you probably imagine. However, the pressure you feel is very much valid since the stakes are higher than in high school.

What's really important is to know how to balance your time with your personal life. In most unis or colleges, you're more in control of your time. Because of that, you have to really set your priorities, revolve around that, stay consistent and be disciplined.

But of course, don't forget to build connections, meet different people and don't just stick to the types you've grown accustomed to! Most importantly, have fun. I personally had a lot more fun in college than in high school because of all the freedom, but again, don't forget your priorities. You have a lot more leeway in the earlier years, but since you're in education, hence licensure examinations, be sure to really give your 100% percent in the latter half of your time in school! Good luck and I'm sure you'll be amazing!

Also, don't be afraid if you're unsure yet!!! You could always transfer programs. Just try to maintain decent grades so shifting wouldn't be as complicated once you've set your sights on a different path. And again, I cannot stress this enough, be sure to have fun!!!
