Look, take it from me.. College is far from easy. My first semester was an actual roller coaster, and held more ups and downs that you could possibly imagine. It was filled with more downs than anything simply because I came to college (a mature place) with an immature high school mindset. I figured, "hey, I coasted through high school, got straight A's with no effort.. I'm sure I can do it again!!" WRONG! Don't do it.. STUDY!!!! Take all of the good habits you've formed through high school and use them more than ever. Develop a schedule, a routine per say, and stick to it; a well balanced schedule, that sets aside "me time" and "study time" will be the reason why your first semester isn't like me. More importantly, go to class. It's easier to do the work and stay caught up, than having to work from behind make up work up.. nearly impossible. College is a place where the professor teaches you maybe 35% of the work and the rest in done on your own free time. To be a good college student you need to proactive and show a sense of care and respect for academics itself, or else.. too put it shortly, you'll fail. You'll find yourself where I was with a skyrocketing 2.0 GPA, struggling to do last minute assignments to boost it in any way possible.
Stay caught up, be proactive, organized, and STUDY. You do these four things and your first semester will turn out to be everything I wanted mine to be!!
Goodluck,
Sincerely, DJ.
