Yo, students—stop manifesting stress and start manifesting your damn dream college experience.
This isn’t some “think positive and wait” crap. I’m giving you the cheat codes to hack your grades, bank account, and social life now—no vision boards or moon rituals required.
Newsflash: Your 3D reality is just a laggy app. You’ve already got the A’s, the bag, and the squad. This guide? It’s just teaching you to refresh the screen.
Ready to glitch the system? Let’s go.
(P.S. If you’re still worried about “how,” you skipped Rule 7. Go back.)
1. Your Grades Are Already Yours
Okay, let’s get this straight—your grades aren’t something you get, they’re something you have. Right now. Like, if you’re stressing over a test, stop. Seriously. How would you act if you knew you already aced it? You wouldn’t be cramming at 2 AM, you’d be chill, maybe even a little bored. That’s the energy you want.
Here’s the trick: Stop saying “I hope I pass” and start saying “I always pass.” Because guess what? You do. The 3D just hasn’t caught up yet. And don’t wait for the test results to “prove” it—live like it’s already true. Walk out of that exam like, “Yep, another A in the bag.”
Ever notice how the people who expect good grades usually get them? It’s not luck. They just know. So… why not you?
2. Professors/Teachers Reflect YOU
Alright, let’s talk about professors—because I swear, some of y’all act like they’re these all-powerful grading gods who randomly decide your fate. Newsflash: They’re just mirrors. If you think your prof is strict, unfair, or just doesn’t like you… congrats, you manifested that.
Here’s how you flip it: Stop assuming they’re out to get you. Start assuming they’re lowkey obsessed with how brilliant you are. Picture them nodding approvingly at your work, giving you extensions before you even ask, or sliding you an A because of course you earned it.
I did this in college with a professor who had a rep for being a hardass. I decided he loved my work—and suddenly, he’s giving me feedback like “This is grad-level writing” and offering to mentor me. Wild, right? But not really. I just stopped assuming he was scary.
Try it this week: Walk into class like your teacher’s already your biggest fan. Watch how their energy shifts. (And if it doesn’t at first? Who cares? You’re the operant power here. Persist.)
3. Exams Are Memories
Okay, this one’s gonna blow your mind a little. Stop thinking about exams like they’re some big scary monster you gotta prepare for. They’re not. They’re just memories.
Hear me out. When you’re studying, don’t tell yourself “I need to learn this”—tell yourself “I’m just refreshing my memory.” Because in your desired reality? You already know this stuff cold. You’re not cramming new info into your brain; you’re just dusting off what’s already there.
I used to do this before finals. Instead of panicking, I’d flip through my notes like “Oh yeah, I remember this”—even if I’d barely glanced at it before. And weirdly? The info would stick better. Because I wasn’t learning, I was remembering.
Next time you study, try it. Say “I know this” before you even read it. Watch how much easier it clicks.
4. Time Is Fake
Okay, real talk—time is the biggest scam ever invented. “I don’t have enough time to study” is just a dramatic story you’re telling yourself. Newsflash: You’re not short on time, you’re drowning in it.
Here’s the secret: The second you drop “I need more time” and replace it with “I have all the time I need”, crazy shit happens. That 10-page paper due tomorrow? You’ll knock it out in 3 hours. That exam you “didn’t have time” to study for? You’ll suddenly recall everything during the test.
I used to pull all-nighters until I realized—wait, why am I acting desperate? So I started saying “I absorb information instantly” and boom, my study sessions got 3x more efficient. The clock didn’t change. I did.
Pro tip: Ever notice how time stretches when you’re relaxed? That’s your natural state. Panic shrinks time. Chill expands it. So… maybe stop panicking?
5. Dorm Life? Revise It
Let’s talk about your living situation—because nothing kills your vibe faster than a messy roommate or paper-thin dorm walls. But here’s the thing: your dorm life isn’t happening to you, it’s coming from you.
That roommate who never cleans? You assumed they’d be messy. The loud neighbors? You expected noise. But guess what? You can rewrite this script today. Start assuming your roommate is secretly Marie Kondo. Picture them happily vacuuming while you’re out. Assume your neighbors respect your sleep schedule.
I did this sophomore year—went from a chaotic dorm to suddenly having the chillest floor on campus. No magic, just new assumptions. When my neighbor’s music blasted at 2 AM, I’d laugh and think “They’re about to turn it off”. And within minutes? Silence.
Your turn. Tonight, before bed, try this: “My dorm is my peaceful sanctuary.” Mean it. Then watch how fast reality catches up.
6. Money Isn’t a Problem
Alright, let’s talk about the biggest illusion of student life—being “broke.” Newsflash: broke is a mindset, not a bank statement. You wanna know how I stopped stressing about money? I faked having it first.
Here’s what you do:
- Stop checking your empty account. That’s just staring at the 3D like it’s gospel.
- Act like money’s already there. Buy that coffee without guilt. Apply for internships as if the unpaid part is irrelevant (because it is).
- Say dumb shit like “Money comes to me so easily lol”—and mean it.
I used to panic over $5 ramen nights until I switched to “I always have more than enough.” Within weeks? Random refunds from the school, surprise stipends, my aunt Venmo’ing me “just because.” The money was always there—I just had to stop blocking it with my “I’m so broke” tantrums.
Your move: Next time you swipe your card, hear the cha-ching sound in your head. That’s your real balance.
7. Stop Obsessing Over “How”
Dude, this one’s gonna free up so much mental space for you. You know that frantic “But HOW will it happen?!” voice in your head? Yeah, we’re firing it today.
Here’s why: You don’t need to know how your A’s, money, or dream opportunities will show up. That’s like your phone stressing about how electricity works—just stay charged, the system handles the rest.
Real-life example: Last semester I decided I’d get a research assistant spot (zero openings posted). Instead of stalking department emails, I just knew I was already hired. Two weeks later, a professor emailed me asking if I wanted a position they “just created.” Coincidence? Please.
Your job isn’t to engineer the path—it’s to occupy the end state.
Try this today:
- “I don’t need to know how, I just know it’s done.”
- Then? Go watch Netflix. Seriously. Obsessing = delaying.
8. Friends & Social Life? Mirror Work
Alright, let’s get real about your social life—because sitting alone in the dining hall scrolling TikTok ain’t it. But here’s the kicker: your loneliness isn’t random, it’s requested. You assumed people wouldn’t “get” you, and—surprise—they don’t.
Time to hack the system:
- Assume you’re the main character (because you are). Walk into parties thinking “Everyone here wants to know me”.
- Revise past awkward convos—that cringe moment? Nah, in your revised version, they were laughing with you.
- Talk to yourself like you’re popular (“Ugh, so many people wanna hang out—I need alone time!”).
I tested this when I transferred schools. First week, I decided I was already the girl everyone loved. By month’s end? I had to turn down plans. The “how” was strangers suddenly DM’ing me, study groups inviting me—zero effort.
Your turn: Tonight, catch yourself thinking “Nobody’s texting me” and flip it: “My phone’s about to blow up.” Then? Put it down and watch.
9. “Bad” Past? Irrelevant
Let’s have a come-to-Jesus moment about your academic past. That failed class last semester? The professor who “hated” you? The GPA that makes you cringe? None of that was you. I mean, technically it was, but not the real you—just some old version that’s as relevant as your middle school AIM username.
Here’s your power move: Disown that shit.
- Failed a test before? “I always fail” → “That was a glitch. I ace tests now.”
- Imposter syndrome? “I don’t belong here” → “The school built this chair specifically for my genius ass.”
I had a friend who flunked organic chem twice. Third time? She walked in thinking “I’ve always been great at this”—and suddenly the TA’s like “Wow, you’re naturally gifted at mechanisms!” (Spoiler: She wasn’t. She just stopped carrying the old story.)
Your homework: Write down one “failure” and burn it (safely). Now say: “That wasn’t me. This is me.”
10. Your Degree Is Already Framed
Alright, future graduate—let’s cut the suspense. That diploma? It’s already hanging on your mom’s wall. The cap-and-gown photos? Sitting in her purse right now while she brags to strangers at Walmart. You’re not working toward graduation—you’re just killing time until the ceremony catches up.
Here’s how to live this:
- Smell the cap/gown when you study (yes, literally imagine it—that cheap polyester smell is your new motivation).
- Thank professors in advance for writing your recommendation letters.
- Plan your graduation caption like it’s a done deal (“4.0 GPA? Easy.”).
I started doing this junior year. Stopped saying “If I graduate” and switched to “When I give my commencement speech…” Guess who got asked to speak at graduation? (Hint: It was me, and I still don’t know how to use the library printer.)
Your turn: Text someone today with “Save the date for my graduation party.” Then? Go nap like the stress-free graduate you are.
Final Rule: Stop Making It Hard
Manifesting isn’t a part-time job—it’s a vibe. The second you assume school is easy? It becomes easy. The moment you stop begging the 3D for proof? It hands you receipts.
So—what’s your first move gonna be? (Pro tip: It’s already working.)
