8 Ways to Refocus in Class When You’re Struggling to Stay Awake

Do you ever feel like this guy here? And then your professor stares at you or wakes you up and you have to respond like this? And then you do this again 5 minutes later? Here are some tips to help with that: 8. Drink water! And not just a little bit. The first thing I do in the morning is drink a nice, tall glass of ice cold water.

7 Tips For College Girls to look Enchanting for Your Morning Classes

7.  Shampoo your hair 3-4 times a week. Nothing more. Seriously, it limits the grease. Using shampoo on your hair daily is really damaging and not worth the split ends.

Why Your Freshman Year Roommate Experience Should Be Valued

Heading off to college for the first time signifies the beginning of a new step in life and with this new step comes new responsibilities and decisions. For many people leaving for college also means this may be the first time you have to share a room with someone. I personally had never shared a room before so I was skeptical to the idea of living with someone my first year, but it ended up being an extremely important decision. Living with a roommate your freshman year will help you realize multiple things about yourself such as your study habits, your sleeping habits, what you do and don’t like, and many other things.
