tips for leaving to university?

so in one month i will be starting school in humboldt. i am terribly nervous about the whole situation and am definitely gonna need something for the train/bus ride so i don't have a panic attack. but even just thinking about completely starting over gives me slight anxiety attacks.
how have you that have gone off to college, how was the transition? like leaving home and being on your own? is it weird being off on your own? i know these questions may sound weird, but i am really nervous for thus upcoming adventure.

It was the best thing I've ever done. Paying bills sucks but such is growing up. You're making a smart move! Get excited!
Oh, and college girls

Do you mind if I inquire what you're going for?
--------------------
 "The copper wire pipe has a significant amount of AC electricity running through it, causing it to act like a really strong electromagnet. In the metal slug, eddy currents form due to the magnetic field the copper wire pipe is causing while the copper wire pipe has high frequency AC flowing through it. The metal slug’s electric resistance causes a portion of the electric energy to turn into heat, but the heat builds up until the metal slug becomes white hot and melts."

Well if you want one tip. Take the first semesters seriously because I sure as fuck didn't and wish I really did. Even though I came out with a hard ass degree and solid gpa, I know I could have done much better.
Also living on your own, own is seriously depressing. I lived with my roomie but we always had flopped schedules but could coordinate a few times to talk a day. So it wasn't all that bad but most of my time was spent studying and smoking weed. Then on the weekends I'd rage.
It's not like high school, you really need to study. Before any test study at least a 1.5 weeks in advance to ease the stress (depending on the class of course).
Find a hobby (i grew pot legally with a medical card) I also smoked a lot of pot
Don't bother trying to be cool and sacrifice that for a good education. Once you leave, you won't really see anyone ever again.

I keep in touch with less than 10 people from my 3 years in college. I don't have Facebook though and these days that's just about the only way anyone will put in effort to stay in touch.

Almost all the people in my classes were fucking weird as shit or chinese. No joke, I was surrounded by chinese people and arabs. My university has some insane policy where they all flock.. Saudi arabia pays for all their tuition so the saudis were in for free but they were nuts haha

working towards masters and in the mean time being certified as a med lab scientist. you can't work in any clinical lab without a certification which is never told to you at any university. Kind of dumb considering I have 4 years of lab work in academically.

Yeah man honestly you have a few paths you can take coming out with a science degree. Most people plan on med school (which I never wanted to do...don't want to be a doctor).. with obamacare and socialized healthcare you won't make money doing it anymore... You can jump into a lab tech position which don't pay that much.. You can join the army or similar and they throw you through office training then off to whatever you want to specialize in be it you qualify. Get Masters degree and bypass the entry level aspect of just having a bachelors. Or if you are lucky you know someone who can get you into a good position right off the bat.
basically you need to specialize in a specific area. Not that I haven't had plenty of good job offers, I just can't take them when trying to do all the work to get a masters. It's retarded. ass backwards. The sciences are difficult territory at first but it all pays off in the end. Money isn't my main goal. I want to live comfortably of course but I also like research and shit along them lines. Main goal would be to get into drug development...which you need MS or Ph.D

That's fair. I've just hated all the research i've done throughout my undergrad career. It's just so goddamn tedious and it never works out how you expect it to. Combine that with shitty equipment and time constraints and you've basically got a disaster on your hands. To be honest, I'm probably gonna go into sales

There are very few white people in my classes, maybe 5-10% or so. The rest of the non-Chinese people are mostly from elsewhere in Asia or the Middle East.

For those who want to change the world and attending school. Drop out. Only stay if you are trying to fit in to this place. If you wanna do something great and upset the status quo, drop out. If you can't see yourself doing that. Ask why.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Yeah there's a difference though. Research and development in almost any field is where it's at. R&D in engineering is basically a gold mine especially if your contracted by the military.

I did that longboarding to class but not during lecture. Just listen. Lecture just gives you test tips or examples. The studying solidifies curve balls.
