There are several ways to approach telling someone about your studies. When you are asked for an update about how school is going or need to give someone a quick heads-up about your college education, you can try a handful of methods that are going to deliver the results you are looking for.

You might be lost for ideas about how to go about this. That shouldn’t be a problem anymore. In this article, I have outlined 15 ways to tell someone about your studies. You are going to find several options as regards what you can say when telling someone about your studies using any of the angles presented in the article.

Well, no more talk. Let’s get into it.

The following are some of the ways I believe you could get someone hooked up on details about your college education. I have written them in the form of style and suggestions of things to say. It is a lovely read.

New Favorite Subject 

You can provide an update about a new favorite subject you now have. It could be something you have never considered doing before or a subject everyone knows you hate but you’ve become fond of. If the latter is the case, it is often the most appreciated update. Here are some of the ways you can talk about your new favorite subject:

1. You’ll be amazed to know that my new fave is now Biology. Now I am wondering what made me hate it.

1. I used to think Maths was hard but guess whose favorite subject is math, yeah, me.
2. If I told you what subject I like now, you aren’t going to believe it. If you guessed Physics, then you aren’t wrong. Isn’t it amazing that I now like Physics?

Your Pep Talk Worked 

The person asking you for an update about your studies may be a concerned friend, relative, or guardian. They must have invested in you and spoken to you about your studies before you left for school. When you want to update them about how it is going, these are a few examples to give you ideas:

1. Thank you for your encouraging words. I now understand how to manage my time and study better.
2. If not for your advice, I wouldn’t have thought about cutting down on those minors.
3. I should listen to you more often. The things you told me some months back have turned me into something I used to admire in other people.

Hard Work Pays After All 

Talking about hard work and its benefits is another way you can tell someone what has been going on with your studies. College education is pretty difficult and being hardworking is a non-negotiable.

1. Since I started putting in the extra work, especially in the areas of my weakness, I have observed significant changes
2. I am optimistic that I can achieve any goal provided I put in the work required.
3. The results I am seeing from the extra study time I plan to add to my routine are paying off. Most of the courses that seemed too hard now feel very easy.
4. Undoubtedly, hard work pays because it tells me why I was struggling to understand most of my courses but now everything feels like a breeze.

New GPA Unlocked 

When you clinch a new GPA, you can use that to let the person know how well your studies are going. This kind of response will be suited for when a family member asks to know how your academics are.

1. My current GPA is a source of joy. For my dream school, it is way above the average.
2. I finally hit a 3.5 GPA. Now my focus is on maintaining this achievement and building momentum to go higher.
3. With the new GPA I am on just six months to graduation, there’s nothing that can prevent me from getting into my dream college.

Little Turbulence but Nothing Out of Hand 

It wouldn’t always be rosy with your studies. There could be a little problem here or there. Something that may cause a little shaking. You can come from this perspective when you want to say what studies are like.

1. I got into trouble with the school management over a deemed misconduct but it’s been resolved. You don’t have to worry.

1. My GPA dropped a bit. Just a tiny little bit. It is not something I can’t recover from though.

Not The Journey I Expected 

If you were hit hard by the reality of college as a freshman and someone asks you how studies are going, you can use these responses as they communicate how you must be feeling:

1. It feels like I was never prepared for college. Everything feels overwhelming. I just can’t deal
2. I knew college would be difficult. This experience was unprecedented. I want to scream.
3. Despite the fears and how scared I am in the school, I am still maintaining my composure. It feels like I am winging it but I know I don’t have any hold on it whatsoever.

Faculty’s Being Exceptional 

College faculties can tilt to opposite ends of a spectrum on the scale of support for students. In essence, you can go to a school where the faculty members do not care about students. If you are in one where they do, here are ways to say this to someone else:

1. The fact that this school has a brilliant and very supportive faculty is no fairytale. It does and I am so happy I applied here
2. Sometimes, I wonder if the professors in this school are paid more to support students. It is the best part of schooling here for me

You can tweak it if there are negatives to the faculty members.

Searching for Balance 

When you start incorporating other activities into your college experience, you can be overwhelmed by your lack of balance. This is probably another area where you can draw inspiration from to give an update about your schooling to someone:

1. I made it into the school basketball team and it is not looking like a great decision as I am struggling with my academics.
2. I am wondering how pro footballers made it out of college. The academic workload and athletics schedule is a huge challenge for me.

Taking it One Step at a Time 

Sometimes, even though you are overwhelmed, you encourage yourself to just keep plugging at it, taking one step at a time. The following will show you how to express the idea when talking to another individual.

1. I feel exhausted from all the workload I have to deal with but I am learning to take things gradually and just breathe.
2. Despite the overwhelming feeling I have been expressing, I listened to a podcast that made me realize that all I needed to do was take things gradually.
3. I now realize I need to condition my mind to worry about the things I can control and get my mind off things that are beyond my control

Added Course Load Cause Why Not?

You could have recently added coursework to your current academic load. As long as you are making it rain, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be proud of the progress you are making. So, hype yourself to the person using these statements:

1. I’ve added more courses to my current workload. If I have to be the best out of college, I need to show my diverse background in various aspects of learning.
2. I plan to do all the work in my first two years and rest during my final year. If I am going to run for student government in my final year, I have to cover all I need to do now that the commitment is not here yet.

You could mention the reason why you added more coursework or whether you are just attempting to push through your limits.

Struggle is Real 

There’s this reality check that just hits you while in college and you know it is no joke. But then, you are already in it so you can chicken out or go home. You’d have to stay put and find a way to succeed or come out strong. These are some ideas to help you communicate this fact:

1. The coursework in college is notoriously demanding. God. I have not recovered from last week’s work and this week, there’s more stockpiling.
2. Working part-time while studying is the hardest thing anyone can do. I am stressed and tired but I have to keep going cause no one’s going to pay my bills and what’s the point of paying the bills when I am failing?

Stripped and Better Off 

This is the opposite of the coursework addition idea. While it is brilliant to want to add more work to your course load for whatever reason, there are times when you are going to be better off without the added burden. If you recently let go of some of the coursework you had placed on yourself, you can provide an update based on that.

1. I heeded your advice to strip off some of the extra coursework I added and it has been amazing. My focus is now on courses that matter to my career and I have enough time to do other things I love.
2. Who would have thought that reducing my course load was all I needed to scale up my GPA? I was attempting to cover more things and in the process, I failed in the things that mattered. Thank goodness I learned quickly.

Leadership and Academics 

Leadership opportunities are everywhere in college. From Greek culture, frats, sports teams, class leadership, student unions, and much more. You can be appointed to be a leader which would mean having to do more as a student. The following are ideas about how to share the update with someone:

1. Being a class rep means I have to do twice the work I am supposed to do in college. It has been fun so far so I don’t mind.
2. Did I tell you I was made the course rep in a general elective? I am overseeing nearly 300 students. I find it cool because I get to interact with a lot of people. It is a fun experience but there are downsides.

New Friendships

Meeting new friends can also be a part of the things you tell someone who asks about your studies. If you have made some amazing friends, you can let the person know who they are or what the benefits of this newly found friendship offer.

1. The friends I have met this semester alone are making everything blissful. These guys know a lot of stuff and they’re poised to graduate with a good result.
2. I met this group of friends. They are the best anyone can have. The way they push themselves which now includes me is surreal. I cannot help but sit up and that is good for my studies.

Burnt Out and Desirous of Home 

I know that feeling when you are tired of the semester or the school in general and just want to go home. It feels like you can’t just take it anymore. I have been there and am sure everyone who’s gone through college has been there too. You can use these suggestions to express yourself when someone asks you for an update on your studies:

1. I don’t want to think about this school. I just want to go home. I am done. I am tired. Take me home.
2. In my 19 years of living, I have never really experienced what it feels like to be burnt out. Now, I can write a book about being burnt out because that’s my current experience in this school. I can’t wait for the holidays. I need rejuvenation.
