All throughout high school my teachers told me all about the scary things that happen in college. They told me that my professors won't have time to help me, that all my classes will be insanely hard, and that it's really hard to balance everything. Now I know I've written about high school versus college and college in general, so for this I want to do some "de-mythifying" on the myths that we all heard in high school about college.

1. Classes aren't that bad.

Okay so I know this may not be the same for everybody out there. We are all in different majors, are taking different levels of classes and taking on different course loads. But I would just like to point out that those hard classes that you feel like will be the death of you won't ruin your life. If you power through it and take advantage of all the all the resources around you, chances are you will survive. I know your teachers in high school are probably scaring you saying, "You think this is bad? Wait until college." In some cases, it may be worse than high school and your teachers were right, but you will get through it. This really comes down to what the theme of a few of articles have been about: time management.

2. Your professors do care about you.

So far I've only had one lecture class where I wasn't a huge fan of professor, but aside from that my professors have been very helpful. Yes it is true, occasionally you may come across a professor who may not help you succeed to the best of your ability, that's life and it will probably happen. However, more often than not, if you go out of your way to seek help, your professor will go out of his/her way for you. They're not mean and scary like your previous teachers may have told you, so don't stress too much.

3. Just because you woke up early for high school, does not mean you will be able to in college.

A 6 a.m. wake up call may not seem like much now, but honestly if you have the ability to schedule later classes, do it. Personally, the earliest class I prefer taking is a 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. (9 a.m. is still kind of stretching for me). If you can avoid scheduling those 8 a.m.'s, then you need to, otherwise you will deeply regret that decision once classes start. Seriously, don't do it. You will not want to get out of bed.
