How To Survive Your First Semester Of College: A Roadmap

Your first semester of college is more predictable than you think. After 20 years of watching students find their footing or fall behind, I can tell you almost exactly what's coming, week by week. In this video, I walk you through the full first semester roadmap: how to use weeks 1-2 to build your foundation, why weeks 3-6 are the danger zone where burnout actually starts, how to study for midterms with active recall instead of rereading, and the exact recovery plan if you're already behind. Tell me in the comments: which week of the semester are you most nervous about? I read every single one, and I make videos answering you.
