And it gets even better when you find out there's a man in this universe who dedicates a lot of his time giving out college tips in the form of TikTok videos.

Ask them if everything is okay in their life. First, you start off being sympathetic, then you ask them when and if they're going to get their part of the assignment done. If they don't, get it done, you now can share this with your professor to show that you have done all the work to get your group to do their work. @helpmeharlan Report Final score: 25points POST RedstonewolfX RedstonewolfX Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago How does the image relate to the post exactly/ 4 4points reply View More Replies... View more comments Harlan Cohen is a man of many talents: he's a NY Times bestselling author, a journalist, a speaker, an educator, founder of BeforeCollege.TV and Best First Year, and a YouTuber and TikToker who hands out advice on things like love, romance, relationships, health, household life hacks and, most notably, college life, among many other things. "College is a dramatic time of change. Change can be uncomfortable. I help people get comfortable with the uncomfortable," Harlan explained how he came up with the idea. "Most students only spend about 15-20 hours in the classroom per week. This leaves lots of time to navigate life. Students need help. And I love helping." "I'm the author of The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College and speak all over the country. The College Tip series seemed like a natural next step." #6 If you're thinking of cheating on someone, please don't, just break up. I know you're afraid of being single, because that's the only reason you would destroy someone and betray their trust, because you're too worried about being alone. Instead, do the right thing. Break up, be with whoever you want to be with and avoid breaking someone's heart and destroying them, because you're too uncomfortable being alone. @helpmeharlan Report Final score: 15points POST boredpanDaman boredpanDaman Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) 2 2points reply View more comments #7 If you're having a hard time getting over your ex, try this. Instead of erasing, deleting your ex from your entire world, your mind and your environment, give your ex a tiny piece of your heart, just a small piece. My wife and I have talked about this. We both have first loves, we're not each other's first love. And that first love is someone who you always have special feelings for, those feelings never go away. It doesn't mean you need to be with that person. It just means you can acknowledge those feelings. So you give that person just a small piece of your heart and you save the rest for the person you're with or the person that you're going to meet in the future. @helpmeharlan , Lionsgate Report Final score: 13points POST Vicky Z Vicky Z Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Some exes don't deserve little piece of my heart.... little piece of s**t maybe 14 14points reply View more comments #8 If you or someone you're partying with vomits blood, you need to go to the emergency room, take them. I had a roommate my junior year and he would vomit a lot when he drank and he'd actually vomit blood. And that was the morning and he was really hungover and we saw him and he's like "hey, man, I just need to sleep for a couple more hours." And he shared that he vomited blood and we're like "dude, you've got to go to the emergency room." He's like "nah, man, I don't want to go." We're like "either we're calling an ambulance or we're taking you to the emergency room." The other roommate took him to the ER. When he got there, his blood pressure was like 60 over 30. He passed out, he had been hemorrhaging the entire day from his esophagus. They rushed him in for emergency surgery. He was fine. His parents came, they were so grateful we got him help. They thanked us, they got me a t-shirt. So, you know we saved his life and everybody won. @helpmeharlan , Dennis Jarvis Report Final score: 12points POST May May Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Ok so so far I've learned that you should look out for roommates peeing in your room, people shitting in the dryer and friends vomiting blood.

View more comments For the most part, the TikToks are pure advice videos for those in college, or those who are about to start or finish it. But they are not all strictly about college, they are more about things that happen during college, so you will certainly see love and household advice, among other topics in the mix. Harlan also talks about life tips, answers questions from his fans and viewers, and gives general tips and tricks about things that matter. Or don't. It doesn't matter, though. Probably. "So many of these tips are universal. College just happens to be a place and time in life where all this 'stuff' is happening for the first time," explained Harlan. "It's all about social, emotional, physical, financial, and academic changes. The lessons learned can be applied to life way beyond college. That's why I started a 'Life Tip' series. This covers it all." #11 If you try to get that grade bump and your professor says “If I do this for you, I have to do it for everyone”, respond with “I really appreciate that. But I don't know how many people are in the same situation, who have really made the effort, who have come to class, who have participated, who have gotten the extra help. And I'm hoping how I've demonstrated my commitment to class could be something that you can consider.” @helpmeharlan , UC Davis College of Engineering Report Final score: 9points POST May May Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago You can get a grade bump?

I found her really interesting and funny and beautiful. I wanted to ask her to dance. It was like a fraternity dance. I waited a little too long some other guy in class asked her I ended up never asking her out on a date. Fast forward to the last night senior year in college, we were all graduating, I bumped into Carrie at a bar. And I walked up to her and told her that I had one regret in college. And it said I never asked her on a date. And she said "I wish you did. Because I would have said yes." @helpmeharlan Report Final score: 9points POST Mary Rose Kent Mary Rose Kent Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago She said “I wish you did” and still graduated from college?

The second thing you do is record it. You want to make sure you don't record anything, you know, private, but the next day when your roommate says I didn't do that you can say, “uh huh.

I was hazed so terribly, when I was pledging a fraternity in Indiana University, and the fraternity was thrown off campus for a while, but it was so bad. They would have us dress up in suits, wake us up in the middle of the night, and I would get slammed against the wall repeatedly. One time, we did contest to see how many times this guy Greg would slam me. And it was over 100 times. And I mean, one person put a hole through the wall. And you're probably wondering, it's embarrassing, like, why didn't I tell anyone, and it's because I was afraid, because I didn't know other people. I would be alone. And I put up with it. Fortunately, our hell week was canceled. I had nothing to do with it. And I stayed in the fraternity and there were a lot of positive parts, but I should have never put up with it and you never need to put up with it. So if you're ever being victimized or hurt, or forced to do anything, let me know, I'll report it to your campus. I won't even tell them who told me but I'm here. @helpmeharlan , Rusty Clark Report Final score: 7points POST Rijkærd Rijkærd Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Whats the benefit of all this fraternity/sorority stuff?

View more comments "[Topic-wise,] I like to stay in sync with what students are facing during the year. I have a general plan, but I also like for user comments to drive the topics and tips," elaborated Harlan. "My book has 107 College Tips, so it's easy for me to dig deeper with the videos and explore different topics from multiple angles. I recently started to offer a 'Life Tips' series that has more general advice. Many issues are timeless." But giving advice does come with its own challenges, as explained Harlan: "A lot of students keep secrets. They are scared to get help. They run from the truth. They feel very alone. Reaching them and reminding them that there is always help is the greatest challenge. There are so many people who want to help. I just want to help. I think they see that." #16 If you can't say it or do it while you're sober, you shouldn't be saying it or doing it while you are dropped. @helpmeharlan , Phil Long Report Final score: 7points POST Flopsy Flopsy Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago So I never get to sing! 1 1point reply #17 When you get back to campus, walk to the financial aid office and ask them "is there any more money available for me?"

So, now that Harlan has over 150 tips out there, among many other things, we've asked him about his plans for the future, and he has this to say: "I have a new book, 'Win or Learn: The Naked Truth about Turning Every Rejection Into Your Ultimate Success.' The goal is to help people go after what they want and be equipped to handle whatever happens next. If you are great at handling rejection, you are unstoppable. It's like wearing a superhero cape.

Some of you go to classes like this where you walk in the back of the room teacher walks in the front of the room, there isn't a lot of interaction, which means someone needs to take the initiative. And in big classes, it's not going to be the teacher. So the best way to get to know them is to go to office hours is to bring an old quiz that you struggled with. If you've questions ask them questions. If there's an exam coming up, ask them how you should study. And if you're worried about feeling stupid, these people, they know you, they grade your papers, they know that you are intelligent and good enough.

Most of you are great at hiding your feelings. You don't put yourself in places where people can find you. You don't like dating apps, you don't like being set up. You don't tell people how you feel, who you find attractive, and then you complain that you're single. The problem is, people can't find you. @helpmeharlan , Photocapy Report Final score: 2points POST MyOpinionHasBeenServed MyOpinionHasBeenServed Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Stop trying so hard. go off and be at places you love to be.

You just don't know how to study in college. A lot of you didn't have to do anything to get good grades. In high school, you're just naturally smart. Then you get to college and it kind of knocks you on your ass, you're like "what's wrong with me?" Then you get embarrassed. You don't want to tell anyone, you don't tell your parents, you start to question yourself, stop it. Because studying in college is a different experience. So instead of beating yourself up, talk to a senior, talk to a junior, talk to your teacher, talk to a teaching assistant, go to the Study Center, go to the academic resource support center. Figure out how you need to study in college because you're so damn smart and capable. You just need to get the help so that you can get the grades that you know you are deserving of. @helpmeharlan , raindog808 Report Final score: 2points POST Mary Rose Kent Mary Rose Kent Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Smart people ask questions 3 3points reply View more comments #39 When you bomb an exam, if you're doing it right, you're going to bomb an exam because you're not always going to get the score you want.

Because they don't agree with what I'm saying, or they don't like what I'm saying. But the thing is, you don't need to like me. I'm okay with that. I'm just going to share things that I know are helpful. And the rest is up to you. And that same attitude you can use in college. If you're always working to get people to like you, you're going to be miserable, because there's no way it's going to happen. So instead, focus on loving yourself, offering things that you feel strongly about, listening to other people who have different opinions, but don't be so worried about what everybody else is thinking because there's no way you're ever going to be able to control them, their thoughts or what they think of you. @helpmeharlan Report Final score: 1point POST boredpanDaman boredpanDaman Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) 2 2points reply Anyone can write on Bored Panda.

Guy Gives Out College Tips On TikTok And Here Are 40 Of His Best Bits Of Advice Interview With Author
Robertas LisickisBoredPanda staff Publish Not your original work? Add source A simple word of advice can go a long way, especially when you're at a crossroad in your life, trying to figure out whether you want pizza or hotdogs… I mean, understand what would be the optimal choice given the very serious life situation. Incidentally, most crossroads happen at or around the time you're in college. And it gets even better when you find out there's a man in this universe who dedicates a lot of his time giving out college tips in the form of TikTok videos. Image Credits: @helpmeharlan Meet Harlan Cohen, the man behind the College Tip TikToks, of which there are over 150 at this point. Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best bits of advice Harlan, with whom we got in touch for an interview, has ever given over the course of his TikTok channel. Scroll down, check them out, vote, comment, and maybe you'll learn a thing or two. Or 150.

"College is a dramatic time of change. Change can be uncomfortable. I help people get comfortable with the uncomfortable," Harlan explained how he came up with the idea. "Most students only spend about 15-20 hours in the classroom per week. This leaves lots of time to navigate life. Students need help. And I love helping." "I'm the author of The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College and speak all over the country.

I know you're afraid of being single, because that's the only reason you would destroy someone and betray their trust, because you're too worried about being alone. Instead, do the right thing. Break up, be with whoever you want to be with and avoid breaking someone's heart and destroying them, because you're too uncomfortable being alone. @helpmeharlan Report Final score: 15points POST boredpanDaman boredpanDaman Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) 2 2points reply View more comments #7 If you're having a hard time getting over your ex, try this.

We both have first loves, we're not each other's first love. And that first love is someone who you always have special feelings for, those feelings never go away. It doesn't mean you need to be with that person. It just means you can acknowledge those feelings.

And he shared that he vomited blood and we're like "dude, you've got to go to the emergency room." He's like "nah, man, I don't want to go." We're like "either we're calling an ambulance or we're taking you to the emergency room." The other roommate took him to the ER. When he got there, his blood pressure was like 60 over 30. He passed out, he had been hemorrhaging the entire day from his esophagus. They rushed him in for emergency surgery. He was fine. His parents came, they were so grateful we got him help.

View more comments For the most part, the TikToks are pure advice videos for those in college, or those who are about to start or finish it. But they are not all strictly about college, they are more about things that happen during college, so you will certainly see love and household advice, among other topics in the mix. Harlan also talks about life tips, answers questions from his fans and viewers, and gives general tips and tricks about things that matter. Or don't. It doesn't matter, though. Probably. "So many of these tips are universal. College just happens to be a place and time in life where all this 'stuff' is happening for the first time," explained Harlan. "It's all about social, emotional, physical, financial, and academic changes. The lessons learned can be applied to life way beyond college. That's why I started a 'Life Tip' series. This covers it all." #11 If you try to get that grade bump and your professor says “If I do this for you, I have to do it for everyone”, respond with “I really appreciate that. But I don't know how many people are in the same situation, who have really made the effort, who have come to class, who have participated, who have gotten the extra help.

I was hazed so terribly, when I was pledging a fraternity in Indiana University, and the fraternity was thrown off campus for a while, but it was so bad. They would have us dress up in suits, wake us up in the middle of the night, and I would get slammed against the wall repeatedly. One time, we did contest to see how many times this guy Greg would slam me. And it was over 100 times. And I mean, one person put a hole through the wall. And you're probably wondering, it's embarrassing, like, why didn't I tell anyone, and it's because I was afraid, because I didn't know other people. I would be alone. And I put up with it. Fortunately, our hell week was canceled. I had nothing to do with it. And I stayed in the fraternity and there were a lot of positive parts, but I should have never put up with it and you never need to put up with it. So if you're ever being victimized or hurt, or forced to do anything, let me know, I'll report it to your campus. I won't even tell them who told me but I'm here. @helpmeharlan , Rusty Clark Report Final score: 7points POST Rijkærd Rijkærd Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Whats the benefit of all this fraternity/sorority stuff?

View more comments "[Topic-wise,] I like to stay in sync with what students are facing during the year. I have a general plan, but I also like for user comments to drive the topics and tips," elaborated Harlan. "My book has 107 College Tips, so it's easy for me to dig deeper with the videos and explore different topics from multiple angles. I recently started to offer a 'Life Tips' series that has more general advice. Many issues are timeless." But giving advice does come with its own challenges, as explained Harlan: "A lot of students keep secrets. They are scared to get help. They run from the truth. They feel very alone. Reaching them and reminding them that there is always help is the greatest challenge. There are so many people who want to help. I just want to help.

Clearly. I'm the only one who cares enough to make the effort. So I think it would only be appropriate for you to do this for me." In fact, the top 12 videos currently hold above 1 million views on his TikTok channel, collectively going over 46 million views.

And that's TikTok alone. He also has YouTube, Instagram, and a presence on loads of other virtual platforms in the forms of advice, interviews and whatnot. So, now that Harlan has over 150 tips out there, among many other things, we've asked him about his plans for the future, and he has this to say: "I have a new book, 'Win or Learn: The Naked Truth about Turning Every Rejection Into Your Ultimate Success.' The goal is to help people go after what they want and be equipped to handle whatever happens next. If you are great at handling rejection, you are unstoppable. It's like wearing a superhero cape. I want to teach people to go after what they want and live a life that creates light and joy." #26 If a nosy classmate asks what you got on an exam, you can say "just enough" or you can say "not enough," and if they want to know your actual score, you can say "enough".

View more comments #33 Do not wait for your teachers and professors to reach out to you. See this room? This is like a big lecture hall. Some of you go to classes like this where you walk in the back of the room teacher walks in the front of the room, there isn't a lot of interaction, which means someone needs to take the initiative. And in big classes, it's not going to be the teacher. So the best way to get to know them is to go to office hours is to bring an old quiz that you struggled with. If you've questions ask them questions. If there's an exam coming up, ask them how you should study. And if you're worried about feeling stupid, these people, they know you, they grade your papers, they know that you are intelligent and good enough. So just give them a chance to get to know you because if you do this now, when you really need something, they're going to know who you are and be much more likely to help you. @helpmeharlan Report Final score: 3points POST Lyone Fein Lyone Fein Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago This is the most important one. 1 1point reply View more comments #34 When your significant other asks you "why are you so jealous?"

You just don't know how to study in college. A lot of you didn't have to do anything to get good grades. In high school, you're just naturally smart. Then you get to college and it kind of knocks you on your ass, you're like "what's wrong with me?" Then you get embarrassed. You don't want to tell anyone, you don't tell your parents, you start to question yourself, stop it. Because studying in college is a different experience. So instead of beating yourself up, talk to a senior, talk to a junior, talk to your teacher, talk to a teaching assistant, go to the Study Center, go to the academic resource support center. Figure out how you need to study in college because you're so damn smart and capable. You just need to get the help so that you can get the grades that you know you are deserving of. @helpmeharlan , raindog808 Report Final score: 2points POST Mary Rose Kent Mary Rose Kent Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Smart people ask questions 3 3points reply View more comments #39 When you bomb an exam, if you're doing it right, you're going to bomb an exam because you're not always going to get the score you want.

Because they don't agree with what I'm saying, or they don't like what I'm saying. But the thing is, you don't need to like me. I'm okay with that. I'm just going to share things that I know are helpful. And the rest is up to you. And that same attitude you can use in college. If you're always working to get people to like you, you're going to be miserable, because there's no way it's going to happen. So instead, focus on loving yourself, offering things that you feel strongly about, listening to other people who have different opinions, but don't be so worried about what everybody else is thinking because there's no way you're ever going to be able to control them, their thoughts or what they think of you. @helpmeharlan Report Final score: 1point POST boredpanDaman boredpanDaman Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) 2 2points reply Anyone can write on Bored Panda.
