I'm going to start college in the Fall. Can you tell me anything I should do to have a good successful college life. What did you do in college? Do you have any regrets? What did you think you did right?

College is the best time to know people and really growing up. But it can also be a place where your heart gets broken the first time. All in all, enjoy it, experience it and cherished it. When you grow up later in life you will find yourself always refering to your college life. It is the best yesrs of our life!

Good, I need to grow up and meet new people. The first heartbroken part, I dont think it will happen. I've had my heartbroken already and more than once. It gets even worse, it's by the same person. It's ok though, we both just need to leave to college and grow up.

So now you don't have to worry about the "broken heart" part. The most important is to enjoy your college life. It is trully wonderful. I met my 1st. true love with an English girl, married her, been together for 11 years, had a son (use his photo as my avatar), drunk at college, ragging, and hundreds more happennings. All these good memories are from college life. So keep good previous memories of it with photos, videos and the like. The next thing you will realised is suddenly you are out of college and started working. This is the yucky part of life...working!

I'm starting college soon too. So nervous! I've received so many advice from friends and family. One I think that was a great help was to try new things. There's going to be many classes that you can try out and also many things to learn like dancing. I've chosen my class for fall already and I took an oceanology class even though I'm a political science major. Good luck in college!!

yeah trying new things is good. It's what's going to make us grow up. Being open minded is a very good thing. I plan on doing things that interest me too.

First you should be serious to your studies. Don't party too much or have fun with friends all the time. Keep in mind that studies is the first priority. I mean have fun of course but studies should always come first.

Well I've just started college last year so I don't really have much advice. I think it's a good idea to always put your studies first, no partying during finals week but also have a good time with your friends. Good luck, university student.
