Balance Out! Have fun, but at the same time do your work.
There are different ways to learn and study for every class; some classes will need more effort then others.
Get to know your professors; show them you care about your grade in their class.
Socialize; take time out to meet new people.
Don’t procrastinate; that will only stress you out and you don’t need that.
Be yourself; don’t change because you’re away from home and want to look “cool” in front of your friends.
Make sure your priorities are in order; school, work then play.
Manage your time; set up specific time slots to do what you need for you, don’t overwhelm yourself.
Always read your syllabus for each class; teachers don’t always tell you when a test is coming up, so be prepared.
Develop good study habits.
Don’t get caught up in partying all the time; stay focus of why you are here.
Go to class, be on time and take good notes; most of your tests are over your notes given in class.
Take control of your independence; don’t get too caught up in the college life.
If your roommate is bothering you LET HIM/HER KNOW; don’t have a roommate stress you out and mess up your studies.
If you fail a test, DON’T FREAK OUT! You can still pass the class.
