Take your education seriously otherwise people won't help you because you're stepping in the real world now. Make time to study and use the valuable resources the college has to offer such as the tutoring center and career services.

It's almost like going to a second high school.

Use ratemyprofessor, keep up with your work, it'll be over before you know it.

Meet with an advisor and have a general idea on where you'd like to gear your focus on. With a general idea of what study you'd like to pursue, an advisor can lead you on the right path for the correct classes you would need and good universities to eventually consider. Also, make good relationships with your professors and fellow classmates. The teachers are there to ensure your success, so showing interest in the topics in class and actively participating will open doors for you, such as, letters of recommendations, free life and career advice, and many other opportunities you would otherwise miss.

its very easy to slack off. its really not like high school.
