First Week Back: 4 College Survival Tips

So the beauty of summer is over and you back to the grindstone, college. Well it sucks having classes but its also a great time for clubs, friends and parties (everyone loves the parties) so what now, go off and be crazy, no its time to prepare for the struggle that is having fun and graduating at the same time, oh and sleep, maybe.

So here are some real quick tips to help you survive this nightmare:

1. Come Ready: For the love of God, show up with at least pen and paper, and not a half used post-it note that already has your class schedule and breakfast on it. Also don't come prepared to write the next Harry Potter series in class, a simple legal pad will get the job done.
2. Don't Get Lost: It happens every time, especially if your a freshman, you're looking for a class and your sure you have the right classroom....you have the wrong classroom, you panic, "Oh crap, Oh crap, 2 min to get to my class, where the hell is it!!!!!" this can all be made so much easier if you just leave 15 min early and don't be afraid to ask for directions. Maybe you can get a number in the process. 
3. Don't Sweat the Books: All the administration and people paid to make you think they know about college will tell you that if you don't have your books by the first day of class a giant bird like creature will whisk you off and devour your internal organs or something like that. Screw them, the truth is you should wait til at least first day of classes to see if you really need the books, if you need the latest addition and if you can find it at Library for free, yes I said FREE.
4. Use the Syllabus: I know for most of you will use your syllabus as the new lining for your backpack to cushion your laptop, or it may just be online. Well take it from a person who has missed more due dates then he cares to remember (which might have something to due with it) don't just discard them to the Jansport abyss. Most of them have a schedule of everything that's going to happen in the class; use that, really do it. Make a schedule in your phone or computer, I assume you have one since you're reading this, and add all the important dates for your classes. It will be a live saver. 

It's not a lot but these tips can really lighten the load of the first two weeks, oh and have fun, your in college don't forget that. Survive or Die.
