Ok, now that my first year of college is almost up, I've learned some valuable lessons and figured it'd be nice to share. 1) Always... ALWAYS keep up with your notes from class, and read them atleast every other night.
2) Always have a pen, half the professors won't accept a paper in pencil.
3) Keep everything you could possibly need in your backpack. Some professors are jerks and won't let you leave and if you do leave you can't come back.
4) Don't lay your head down in class. No matter how hard you fight it, the words will be clear at first, but sure enough the "Charlie Brown syndrone" kicks in and all you hear is wa waaa wa waaa wawawa wa
5) When you know you've got a test coming up, study for it.
6) When you know you've got a paper due, do it, don't put it off til the last minute!
7) Freshmen: Take advantage of the "freshmen" programs they offer, it will really help you out in the long run. You'll know just about everything you'll need to survive your first year.
8) Go out to the "movie nights" and "skate nights" and have fun. You'll meet some awsome people, I promise!;D Hope this helps to people going to college. Even though I think I'm the youngest member here.  Whatever, enjoy! -Brezo |

Can't take your own advice, eh? LOL! And I wouldn't worry about being the youngest member here. We do have some younger, if I'm remembering correctly. Then again.....out of the active members....yeah I think that you are the youngest.  |

;D No I can't. That's why I put it up... so other people won't make the same mistake. I can also get away with staying up all night to do it and be able to function the next day.  I don't care that I'm the youngest, always have been as far as everything else is concerned. So back! Maybe I like hanging out with you old people ;D I'm only kidding. |

lol How did we go from talking about "what not to do in college" to Laurasia being old. ;D She's not an "old fart" but she'll always be 9 years older than me!
9) When it's time for finals, dont sit back and "chill" the day before and try to study all night long. It doesn't work that way. You're better off paying attention all through the semester so you don't have to panic study the day before.

Yeah, how did we do that? Enough about my "advanced years" already. ~mumbles to self~ "she'll always be 9 years older than me"....You just remember that. See now, rule number 9 is how the kids that I went to school with were like. And when it came test time they were the ones cramming while I was relaxed. Why? I studied throughout the year. LOL! |

*laughs at Laurasia mumbling and tackles her with a hug* you know I love you old woman.... ;D sorry, I mean woman.
lol that was a few of my friends this morning. We were in class like 30 minutes early and they were freaking out and I couldn't help but to laugh. I hadn't studied the entire semester and still kept a B. The test this morning was just like all the other's she'd given us. Same questions and everything! Then after class Ashley asked me how I thought I did and she knew she'd failed.... *sigh* easy.....

Sleep!?! I didn't have time to sleep... I was the tutor half the time in math class. The teacher did it one way and I almost always had my own way. It's ok, I didn't have to be a nerd and study everyday and still came home with second overall for the county math competition I slept in english though. Either that or moved right behind my desk and got on the computer. ... man I miss high school!!! I got away with so much, lol, it's because I was in the band. |

10) DO NOT wake up late on exam day!
I can't believe I did that... but I've kissed butt all semester to this professor so he let me take it anyway, with 15 minutes left....
