1. Stop thinking procrastination is your friend
This one is pretty simple. Do your work sooner rather than later and you will make your semester ten times easier, and probably come out with a higher GPA!
2. Remember, it's okay to eat alone
You are in college now, not high school, so don't be scared to eat lunch alone between classes. I promise you people will not think you're weird or a loser, they will think you're a normal student. It will cause you much less stress to just sit alone and eat than it will to call a billion friends to eat with you, or take your food to go back to your dorm, where, guess what, you will probably eat alone there too!
3. Talk to new people
Remember that you are still new, and so is everyone else. Even if you are a senior in college, there are still new students your age walking around. College is the best way to make connections that can help you in your future so don't be afraid to introduce yourself to anyone and everyone!
4. Set two alarms
.... if you have to even set three! Maybe put your phone across the room, that way you have to get up for that 8 am on a Friday. You pay an extensive amount of money per class, so stop skipping them!! Trust me, I know, it's easier said than done, but make this semester the one that you go to EVERY SINGLE CLASS.
5. Do things for yourself
Yes, college is about getting an education, but it is also about finding out who you are and what you like. Don't get so into your studies that you never go out or have fun. Try to create an equal balance between school and fun this semester and I promise you will be much happier!
