Congrats on being in college--welcome to the real party
My first year was fun at my tech school..I met my boyfriend of now 4 3/4 yrs....then I transfered to a private catholic university
They didnt accept half of my hrs I earned so I was a 3rd semester freshmen instead of becoming a sophmore back in 2002.
It is soooo hard then...staying up til wee hours of mornin finishing that 10pg paper for whatever classes it was for [never wrote one more than 4pgs ever at the time

], studying while eating, doing laundry...etc
Now, that I'm ONE CREDIT HOUR AWAY

(darn registrar!!) from becoming a senior

its become alot easier but classes are becoming much much more demanding....meaning I actually have to use my brain in and out of class. I was soo burnt out towards the end of last semester--that I gave up--I didn't study for my finals---just made guides for me to skim--totally winged it

Luckily, I did alright
Im sure you'll do great---just dont stay up too late, dont drink at all or too much (studies have confirmed that it kills braincels if you do--I havent had a drink since I was 19)

Please do all your homework and dont be afraid to ask questions in class or to others. And, if ya are struggling to get that paper done...get help from your college's Writing center [the professor will love ya to death--im not lyin!!

]
Basically, the if a big assignment is due..get started on it immediately!! I failed two classes, in two different semesters, because of this problem but I passed the rest with B's. Dont do what I did, and I dont do it now, and you'll do just great!! Conserve your energy and dont let stress eat ya alive--it will eat your grades too
Good luck!!
