Hey guys!
Welcome to my video I am super pumped to see you guys here!
Once again thank you so much for watching my video, it means a lot!
And I will continue providing you guys with the best videos for uni students!
So this said, today's video is about tips for students, and I believe this is episode
2.
Therefore let's make the most out of it and let's start right now!
So my number one tip for today's episode is to make friends in your course.
And, I am sure you thought about this: imagine you are sick or one day, for some reason,you
can't go to lectures because you have a doctor's appointment, or something else, it is very
important to have a certain group of people you can count on.
It's not just acquaintances you feel embarrassed to ask favours for, it is literally people
that you know will be there for you and vice versa.
Find those people, it's very hard to find, most people just do think about themselves
and ask a lot and then when it's kind of your turn to ask, they don't really give you back.
So make sure you have a few options that you can ask for just in case one of them ends
up being that kind of person that doesn't help back.
But yes, do make friends in your course, it's important and you never know what can happen.
Alright so let's move on to my tip number two.
Ok this is very important: for those who are going to campuses or even other universities,
sometimes you will want to go out, during the night and the next morning you have a
lecture.
So once big tip that I think would be kind of useful for you is to set your alarm before
you go out.
So before you even get ready, before you even do pre drinks and go out, you need to go on
your phone and set your alarm for the next lecture in the morning, and this will save
you a lot of worrying.
Alright so let''s move on to my tip number 3.
And this is a big one, and for those who have seen other videos of mine, I've probably repeated
myself a few times, but I am just repeating myself because this is so important.
Do not judge straight away a person.
Just please be humble enough to understand that you do not own the truth, your perception
is not necessarily how things are, so it is very important that when you meet someone
for the first time, they can have the most arrogant expression on their face.
They can be the most loud and annoying person in the world, you can feel like, totally bad
vibes from them.
But, whatever you do, before you judge or even worse, accept your judgement, give them
a few possibilities through conversations to actually tell you their story or show who
they are.
And sometimes you will be right, oh you knew this person was arrogant and not your friend,
but sometimes you will surprise yourself and find that the person that you thought was
the most annoying or arrogant actually turns out to be your best friends.
Be there, done that, I am talking out of experience.
So do not judge, so crucial and unfortunately, I am telling you this right here right now.
I know that some of you will judge other people, it's normal, when you go to a new university,
a new environment, your brain is processing so much information that you have to go sometimes
through stereotypes in order to, you know organise what you are seeing a bit better,
it's kind of a psychological thing, it's normal.
However judging, although it's normal and kind of automatic is ok but accepting that
judgement as truth, that is something in my opinion you should try and correct as the
most earliest stage of your uni life.
So yea let's move on to my tip number 4 and my tip number 4 is especially when you arrive
at un.
So most people do not know if they should bring their parents, if they shouldnt, and
in my opinion, 100%, bring your parents, and not only, make the most out of their presence.
Parents are not there to ruin your life, they actually, most of the parents are going to
finance your degree and it is important that you understand that they really want to make
you happy.
So don't feel like that it's not cool to have your parents around the first few days, that's
not true, as far as I'm concerned, in my freshers week I've seen a lot of parents there.
Do all of the bureaucratic stuff.
When you arrive there at university you will have to do so many things, you will have to
check the room, if it's damaged or anything, do the inventory, because if they find out
that something is damaged in your room and you haven't said that it was already damaged
when you arrive, then they will bill you to pay for the damages.
So do that with your parents because they kind of have more experience than you on that,
go to a bank and open a student bank account, do your phone if you are international student
and don't have an english number, go and do that with your parents too.
Go and buy cutlery if you need it or beddings if you are international and you couldn't
bring it from home, all these kind of things you can do with your parents.
And finally let's move on to my final tip, tip number 5.
And this is about joining societies, and I've realised that a lot of people do not join
societies because either they think they can't do the thing , or they think that it's pointless
to join a society, or for some reason they just don't like human beings.
If you are ever hesitating of joining a society my big tip for you is just try things out,
because you never know what you can fall in love with, for instance love the surf society,
I didn't know how to surf however Ioved the surf society because the people there were
the most open minded people ever and I've found my society, even though I can't surf,
I love the surf society it's the most amazing group of people.
Some people didn't know they liked the cheese society or the quiddich society or the business
society.
All of these societies have potential friends in them so make sure that you kind of see
the people who are attracted by a certain society and once you've found your crowd,
you'll be the happiest person ever so make sure you explore and join societies.
Ok guys so that was my video of the day, short and sweet, as usual but I like to keep my
episodes of tips of the day, very short for you guys, so that you can skim through them
and not waste too much time as I am sure that you will be very busy organising your new
life at university, so get excited, I am certainly excited to go back in my fourth year, and
I certainly am jealous of you who are about to start university make the most out of it,
