Colleges Do's and Dont's

              

            They say high school prepares you for College, but from what I have seen; not at all. You can ask people about their experiences at a college or even google it, but the only way to really know what it is like is when you experience it for yourself.

 I have just started college a few weeks ago, and I have learned so much that I could write my very own personal college tips book for teens.  One tip in particular I would like to share is 1. When your assigned homework do it as soon as possible. The worst thing is to have so much work to do for the next day that you cannot keep track of it all.  It is better to stay organized so you can stay on track. To help with this you could do what I did and buy yourself a planner. This has helped me so much because it keeps me on track so I do not fall behind and not miss any assignments. This tip has also provided me with more sleep hours so I can be awake and alert during my classes. I have seen that many college students cram the night before and the next day they are basically falling asleep in class which is not good.

This leads to tip 2. Know how to manage your time. When I first came here a few weeks ago I was given so much freedom that I was not expecting. It made me see that from now on I am the one who chooses when to do this and that, when to wake up, when to eat, and when to have fun.  If you don’t manage your time wisely, you can start to miss out on all of these things.  Once you manage out when to complete your work, you will find time between your day to partake in clubs or go to events. You will have free time during your day to have to yourself and spend however you wish to.
