I'm back in school now, and have been here for a few weeks now. As I think about starting my third fall here at MSUM, I came up with a few things for you (future college students) to think about and try when you attend a school in the coming years. Now, before I tell you these things, realize they may not be easy to do, but are vital to having a good first semester.
- Use your time wisely. I realize many of these tips, including this one, you have heard over and over. Even so, in college you are EXPECTED to get your work done on time! Most professors in college are not nearly as easy to deal with high school teachers.
- BE READY TO START RIGHT AWAY!- I know that isn't the most favorable thing to do right off the bat, but if you want to have a successful year, this is important.
- I will also advise you to do projects and paper as early as possible. Many people have them build up due to procrastination and leave things until the end of the semester. This forces students to either have a nervous breakdown or spend many late nights catching up.
- Lastly, be ready to enjoy yourself! College is about gaining a knowledge of a lifetime, but that doesn't just include an academic one. Meet new people, see new things, visit new places! This is the biggest tip I can give you now. Just remember when you are buried in you notes before your final exams that college is about ENJOYMENT over everything else!
