My fiancée comes from a background just like yours.

Few tips:

  1. Do not take a break after high school. You’ll want to work instead and before you know it, school will become an after thought. Don’t take a break, continue school and finish up atleast your bachelor’s.

  2. College is just like high school, but you are not babied in high school because you’re actually paying for these classes yourself. You don’t have to raise your hand to go to the bathroom or to answer your phone, you just go outside. The coursework is not that hard, all you need to do is maintain focus.

  3. A college degree does not mean you are superior, it just means to certain job markets that you are ready to be hired.

  4. All CUNY schools are great schools, if that’s all you can afford, don’t sweat it, they are great institutions designed to help people in your position travel up the socio-economic ladder.

  5. You may have to work harder because of the situation you come from, I am not sure what your situation is, but usually, it’s shared space. Finding quiet time to study or do work, will become a valuable concept to you in college.

  6. It doesn’t get easier, whoever says otherwise is lying to you. As you begin college, you begin your journey into adulthood. Both these journeys are difficult and are marked with challenges, these challenges will male you grow.

  7. Don’t shy away from uncomfortable situations, instead seek them, being uncomfortable means you are growing.

  8. Pay attention to the syllabus and manage your time well, don’t get absorbed into the group mob anxiety most students exhibit.
