Tests, papers, and quizzes can quickly make or break your college experience. Trying to learn to balance school, work, friends, and sleep can be something that no college student is completely ready for. Below are some of the top tips to help you survive your first semester away from home and in school.
Whatever shenanigans you get into, you'll remember those times with much more fondness than the hours spent studying at a desk.
Time is something that most likely, you have never had to manage like you will in college. In high school, everything is planned for the entire day, you get home and you do your homework. Life is very simple. Now, you are dealing with fitting your job into your school schedule and making sure you plan time for dating, friends, homework, eating, and trying to get adequate sleep.
As a prime example, how many college students think to file taxes in order save money? Probably not that many, but the truth is that filing taxes is a required step before a student can apply for a FAFSA financial aid.
Take a road trip. Piling in a sedan with five or six of your friends and hitting the open road sounds like the screenplay to several dozen movies, but taking a road trip really is one of those quintessential college activities. Once everyone pitches in for gas it'll wind up being pretty cheap, and if you keep everything spontaneous (like what your destination is and where you'll stop on the way), you'll wind up with one of those stories you tell your kids.
Your first semester, you are figuring out all these new ways to study and learning new things about yourself and the best way you learn. Don't take too many difficult classes right away. You won't be ready for it.
Taking difficult accounting classes, programming classes, or biochemistry classes might be something you want to do when you have figured out effective study habits for yourself. Take some difficult classes to push yourself but keep your overall load low. Try to take classes that you will enjoy the first semester to help you have a fun experience as well.
Organize a cornhole tournament. Cornhole is one of those games everyone is capable of getting into, so plan an elaborate competition, playoff-style. Find or make a cheap trophy, and assign one of your funniest friends to be the announcer. Plan an air guitar competition. You and your friends get to be rock stars for a night, and the winner gets bragging rights for weeks. So get out up off of your dorm room bed, and take your college experience to the next level. Just stay away from that creepy cabin in the woods.
