A few helpful tips from my encounter with school are: be smart, take advice, study hard, and always be prepared. Anything can happen in the real world (and yes college is the real world); however, the opportunity is completely yours. A student cannot be discouraged because of tuition or one bad grade or even a few bad grades. There are many obstacles involved pertaining to college and yes the road gets rocky. The key is to be patient, remain focused, and always have a goal.

Set your goals high and make sure to go to your professors' office hours whenever you can. Getting extra help will make the learning experience better for you and the teacher because they will see that you're making the extra effort to come meet with them after class. Plus, it definitely bumps up your grades!

When looking for things to get involved in, look at clubs for people in your major. This will help you get to know people who have the same interests as you. Also, join as much as you can, but don't get over-involved. leave time for study and a social life. Talk to your professors. They are willing to help you no matter what.

College is what you make of it! It's all about you and your attitude! College will be the best four years of your life if you get involved on campus and in the community! Also, always put your studies first. Your friends can wait for you. After all, you are at college to learn and get a degree, always remember that!
