Every semester, I skim each class' syllabus for important dates and put them on my calendar. That way, I know by day 3 which weekends I can hang out with buddies and which ones I am spending in the library. Also stay like 2 minutes after each class and introduce yourself to the professor. This can lead to a friendship, a research opportunity, or brownie points when you are begging for a grade change ;)
Scheduling is KEY in college! Preparing before the semester even starts gives you a leg up in so many ways. and meeting your professors is honestly the best choice you can make. ONe hello that first day can be the difference between you getting an A or a B in a class ( or a C vs an F, but we're shooting high here!)
Will be helpful in a year! I'm actually starting my HS Senior year. I've been using your ACT tips and they have helped. I got a 35 on English yesterday! Thanks
That's so awesome to hear, congratulations!! Keep working and you'll kill that ACT man. Good luck and enjoy your senior year man! If you ever need anything, I'm always here to help with the craziness of college admissions so feel free to reach out whenever!
Thanks, buddy!! before you know it, you'll be in this situation this time next year which is crazy! Keep working hard man, and thanks for all the support as always. much love brotha❤
Yo Ashton, could you make a video on the biggest obstacles you seek to overcome in the future? What collective impact do you want to have on the world? I'm interested to know your endeavors and intend to support them to the best of my ability!
That's definitely something that I can work into future videos for sure! I'm just trying to help as many people as I can through my experiences in life, as well as inspire through my actions every single day!
I feel colleges are so different in every country !! For example in india - • My college does't allow usage of phones in classrooms or Auditorium etc You can only use phone in thr canteen or college gardens / fields. • 80% attendence If u are absent even one day, then you need to write a letter and get it signed & stamped by the office & then signed by all you Professor's classes you missed & then again submit it to the principal. • You cannot choose your professors or timings. The college provides your time table /schedule & which professors u have. • You cannot drop classes when u want. You only have 5 days to change your minor & IDC subjects. •And doing 2 minors with your Major is Compulsory & also 3 Indisciplinary subjects & 2 compulsory AEC subjects are compulsory. • we also have to learn a foreign language. • we don't have any college parties as such. •We have just one freshers party for 1st year students which is arranged by seniors and Teachers. • we must take permission to go anywhere, even if it is to go to the washroom. • We also couldn't leave college whenever we wanted. We must stay and do ALL classes from 8:30 am to 2:45 pm.. After 2:45 pm we have our societies/ club activities. • Even though my college didn't have uniform... Girls are not allowed to wear very revealing clothes. But in many colleges uniform is compulsory.. And in some colleges there are no uniforms but indian clothing is compulsory.. • My college also makes us sign that they are allowed to not let us continue our course if it's below a certain percentage ( if your aggregate is 45% & below) because it hurts their academic prestige & Reputation amongst other colleges. • our hostels are time restricted so we have curfew at 5pm / 6pm.. Some are 8pm. For boys hostels it's usually later till 10 pm..
I'm moving out in a week, what if I don't want to go to parties and shit, no one would care right? update: they will try to force u but wouldn't mind if u dropped out too

I'm a HS senior at the moment, and as a person with an anxiety disorder and extreme fear of change, this is extremely helpful. Thank you!
college is scary sometimes and it won’t always be what you think! but know everyone is in the same position as you!
She's totally right! Everyone is gonna be scared like crazy so it's okay to be a little nervous! Just keep being you and you're gonna kill it!!
First year felt like a fever dream. Year 2 let's get it Ash-Chan
YAY
