Hello everyone! Tomorrow I leave for college, so does anyone have any tips for having a good freshman year, or any life tips in general? I'm kind of nervous, so anything to calm my fears is especially appreciated.

It's hard to find ways to have fun since I don't party, but I'm trying to find other ways!

Luckily, I really haven't been nervous at all. It doesn't even seem out of the ordinary to be here

Don't waste your time. Listen carefully to the professors. Look after yourself. Be happy.

Thank you! So far, I think I'm maintaining all of them pretty well, although I struggle on the happiness. I'll work on it though

I see you've got some great advice already! I would say just enjoy college life, be yourself and try not to submit to bad peer pressure. Don't worry too much, things will be okay!

Enjoy studying and learning things. Don't skip classes. Stay away from bad habits that can affect your studies. Study smartly.

@SIMPLYD That's true. Its already hard enough to balance sleep and socializing, and I don't even need to study yet!

I'm actually a n athlete, so I haven't had my "real" first day yet, but preseason has been fun albeit tiring. Hopefully I'll let you know how the actual first day goes, although obviously I haven't had much time for MyLot already.

You don't need to fear anything. However, I understand the first day feelings of going to college. I learned that a person, particularly a student going to college knows why she or he's going there. A clear vision of why you do things will give you a better direction. If your "why" is so compelling, you'll face any challenge that will come along your way. If you go to college just to fulfill an obligation, it will be tougher. So, I suggest, make clear of your desire why you go to college. Be sure that it makes sense, aligned with your Dreams In Life.
