Don't be afraid to reach out to classmates and professors. It may be intimidating at first, but def worth it if you are stuck in a rut. Another thing, get involved in activities that the school hosts. It will help you meet new people. Also, printing off notes, if provided by your prof is super helpful. Are you living on campus? If so I have a whole bunch of advice on that based on mistakes I made.
oh i wish, but that's not an option for me

I missed some classes for health reasons and having that support network helped me get caught up and was beneficial. Living on campus, if your building has events go to them. Also if you have a roommate, attempt to get to know them. If it's a new city, use them as a buddy system till you meet more people.
Also don't drink in excess when you have early morning classes the next day
Yo OP, I'm going to college too this year
Leaving home isn't really a problem for me, but being by myself sounds heavy. Like, you have to do everything yourself, food, laundry, pay for anything. Your parents will still send you money right? If no, it can be a bigger problem
Oh yeah, weird roommate can be weird. Maybe you should keep your eye open
Grades and organization is manageable. Just don't procrastinate. Work, however, is harder to manage, you have to be extra discipline

Just take it easy and steady, RJ. Sometimes you can slow down. Good luck
just enjoy yourself....
and uhh...grab some protection
You probably won't have a roommate due to covid but your city might be lifting rules so idk. If you do, just try and be nice to them. I used to live with a roommate when I lived in France and she was very nice. You never know if you might just meet your new best friend. And you will naturally feel homesick for the first couple days but you will get over it eventually. You can always call your parents to help it out a bit.
What will you be majoring in?
It will be difficult at first. You're going to feel like you don't belong. Just realize that everybody is feeling the same way. Don't think "everybody is making friends and I'm not." Eventually and before you know it, you'll have a group of people you get along with, but it might not happen right away.
Take your classes seriously so you can find what makes you most passionate.
Finally, realize that people can be rude and selfish, people are gonna annoy the crap out of you and one of those people might be your roommate. Try to be respectful towards them even if you kinda can't stand each other.
Good luck trying to get any sleep.
Take the hardest courses possible. Honors, Advanced Placement, and International Baccalaureate Classes. Also, enjoy yourself. Join some clubs. Make friends. Network.
