If I was back in high school, I would have plenty of advice to give myself about study techniques, courses, and time management. First, it is important to learn a few things about how you best retain information. Through much trial and error, I learned that I need to use flash cards more often to memorize information. I learned to ask the instructor for help as soon as I had an issue that would prevent future problems. Secondly, know what courses you have to take to get the degree you want. You will save yourself time and money if you figure this out early. Some courses are only offered certain terms. It is better to sit down with a career advisor and map out your education. Last but not least, time management is critical! This does call for self-discipline. Do your assignments at the same time and same place as soon as you get them. Stay on campus to avoid distractions while completing your assignments. If you are doing a long-term project, make a timeline, and stick to it. College will be enjoyable and successful for you if you implement these practices.
