The number one thing to remember with college work is to make time to study. College requires more self-scheduling, so you definitely need to invest in something that will help you keep track of assignment deadlines. Dry erase boards, calendars, and the calendar with alerts on your cell-phone are the most helpful. Remember, the teachers aren't going to guide you along step by step anymore. Your education is completely up to you, the teachers and faculty will simply give you the basic structure and guidelines that will allow you success. So, as long as you keep good notes, study, and listen to fellow students regarding which teachers to take for which classes, then college should pass by with very little difficulty.

I spent the last two year of my high school experience studying to go to State in UIL academics. When the time came for college I never tranisitoned out of the studying phase from high school. Studying is very important to succeding, but there comes a time when it becomes too much. I would defintely tell myself to study but to also relax. I tend to get overly stressed for things that don't need to be stressed over. I'd also tell myself to get out of the room just a little bit, because there are amazing people of campus besides the sororities who really care about who you are as a person!

Take college one day at a time. There will be days and maybe even a whole week where you do not think you can make it, but believe me you will survive to see the next day. Also, do not worry about picking a major right away, and stressing yourself out trying to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life. You will find the right major and love it. Being away from your family and taking up more responsibilities is part of the process of growing up- it is not as bad as you think, it is actually rather nice to be on your own. Above all do not forget that college is not just about school work, it is also about the experience. The experience of meeting new people, new cultures, new activities, and along the way finding out who you truely are and want to be.

Do not wait until the last minute to get your work done, college is totally different from high school. The professors do not care if you come or not rather than in high school you get in trouble when you decide to play hookie in the mornings. Focus and make the books and your study habits your best friend!!

My advise to you going into college is dont get involved your first semester, but keep your eyes open at organizations and its members to see whinch ones you would like to take part. Go out and have fun but make sure you stay close to God, and dont let your grades in the process. Get an agenda and write all your teachers office hours in them and numbers with emails and go to all of your teachers offices. And make sure you netwoek fro day one by the way you carry yourself!

I would tell myself to study more and in a better way.

I would go back and tell myself to start making the decision as to what school I really wanted to go to. Don't stress your self out so much because it is not worth it and it is not going to get you any where. Take your classes very seriously and study hard. Don't do all of the playing around and dont do things because your friends are doing it. Follow your dreams to becoming what ever it is in life that you really set your heart to do. When it comes to picking a college, go take a look at it and see if that is the kind of environment you can see your self in. If that is somewhere that you can see your self being the rest of your college life then go for it and look at all of the social events that take place on that campus.

The day i turned 16 i got a job, my freshmen year. i worked through high school doing 40 hours or so a week. The more i worked the more i saved. I bought a car and a house when i was 17 and moved out of my parents when i was 18. In doing so i learned how to take care of myself and balence my life around school, work, and friends. I got my life together when i was young and no matter what happeneds to me i know i did the best i could have and would only tell myself one thing. "no matter what happeneds keep up the good work".

take some time before you make the final choice, find a place that you feel would make you happy and benfit you and your family the most.

In order to find the right college choose what you think would be best for you money wise and travel wise. Know how much money you have and think about how far you want to travel to go to school.
