tips for college classes that nobody tells you
1. don’t load your hardest classes in one semester. find out which classes within your major are rumored to be tough and divide them out throughout your time in college.
2. don’t show up to class earlier than 10 mins early. the class before yours will likely still be in there finishing up, and you’ll either walk in in the middle of a lecture or have to stand outside for a long time. just get there 5-10 mins early and you’ll be fine!
3. create a group chat for all of your classes. find a few friends from class and make a group chat! this can be either on imessage, groupme, or whatever is most popular to use at your school. this can be your go-to place to ask questions about assignments, due dates, etc. before asking the professor!
4. as for class participation, quality>quantity. in most college classes (with the exception of huge lectures) participation accounts for a chunk of your grade, and some professors take that grade very seriously. however, this doesn’t mean you should raise your hand and talk whenever you find the opportunity- your professor (and your classmates, for that matter) will appreciate you much more if your comments and questions are less frequent and have more to add to the class.
5. the readings listed under a date in a class are due for that class, they are not homework for the next class. this is one of the biggest issues college freshman have at the beginning of their first semester. unless the professor specifically says otherwise, if the syllabus is set up to list each class individually with the readings underneath/beside the class, they are due for that class, not the next one.
6. make yourself known to your professor! this is especially important for a large lecture, where they won’t get to know you otherwise. stop by their office hours or go up to them after class and introduce yourself- making a connection with your professor can open more doors than you may know!
7. rate my professor is not always accurate. professors can get better or worse, and different people have different experiences. though it’s a great tool and you can still use it to see what people think, if you’re stuck with a professor that is ranked low, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have a bad time in that class.
8. sometimes it’s okay to just skim your readings. you’ll find out soon enough if your professor basically goes over exactly what the reading says every class. if so, you only need to skim it over and take light notes. don’t spend hours closely reading a textbook that your professor is just going to go over word for word the next day (unless it helps you- if so, do it!)
9. the guy in class that answers every question isn’t smarter than you. that’s it.
10. if you come from a lower income area or a worse school district than your peers, you may be playing the “catch up game” for a while. it’s okay! i personally go to a college where most students here come from wealthy families across the world and were sent to the best high schools possible. if you, like me, come from a mediocre public school, you may feel like you’re a beat behind your peers when it comes to background knowledge. don’t give up. work hard, you’ll catch up with them soon. (also- they aren’t smarter than you just because they had better opportunities than you did growing up. at the end of the day, you ended up at the same college)

The thing is, no matter how well and animal lives its life before it's killed, no matter how swift or painless the killing of the animal is, if you're killing the animal unnecessarily, it is still wrong. Yes, the videos of the slaughter houses and the terrible, terrible screams that you'll hear are violent and terrible. Yes, the torture and restriction the animals face their entire lives is violent and terrible. But, the problem isn't just how they die, but also the fact that they have to die when they really don't have to. If a person is raised well and lives life wonderfully, but is killed solely due to someone else's desire to kill them when they could have let them live, that's wrong and disturbing. Even if that person barely felt it, even if it only lasted a few seconds, even if before that they never felt like that was their fate, they still valued their life and could have continued living it without issue, but it was cut short due to someone else feeling like they had the right to take it. Now, imagine this now happening to millions of the same every day. Thats disturbing, violent, and terrible. Don't get me wrong, the reality of the situation is that a majority of animals born and killed for food do indeed life of torture. But, don't then take that and mistake it as the core of the problem. It is, if anything, the result of it.

“When you rape someone, You take more than their innocence, You take their life, Not physically, But mentally, Every corner is a fear, Every person they walk by is you, Every time they get close to someone, They fear the comments that come from telling them, When you rape someone, You take every single thing about them, You break them, You torture them, Even when you’re not around anymore, You make them feel worthless, You make them feel like nothing, You hurt them physically, But in most cases, it’s the mental scarring, It’s the constant replays, It’s the flashbacks, It’s the shaking when you get touched, It’s the heartbreak after heartbreak from the reminders, It’s the empty beer bottles, The pill bottles, It’s a blade, It’s all because you couldn’t take the answer “no.””
