1. Have a Schedule

Do the same thing every week at the same time. Having a set schedule may feel boring, but in the end, it will help you stay focused.

2. Stay Focused

Set a goal, and achieve it. Do what you want to do, follow your dreams and see how far it takes you.

3. Start Over

This journey is your new beginning. Be who you want to be, go where you want to go. You have a clean slate, even if you do stay home.

4. Be Serious

These are the most important years of your life, make them count. It's not just about the parties on the weekend; your education is important so don't take it for granted.

5. Make Sure You Sleep

It is healthy to sleep, and Dreamland is so needed all the time. Make sure to get some.

6. Use The Databases

Grammarly, Rate My Professor, EasyBib, anything and everything, use it! Web sites are so helpful and will only help you do better.

7. Take Advantage of Free Things

Go to all of your school's fairs and events that you can because who doesn't love free things! It feels like Oprah!

8. Having a Job is Important, But Not Everything

Remember to breathe. Going to school and working all the time is good and it teaches you a lot of responsibility but remember that it is just a job.

9. Friends Will Come In Time

In the beginning, everyone is shy and they don't want to be "that person" that puts themselves out there. But "as and ye shall receive." Some of the people that you meet will, hopefully, will be in your life for a long time.

10. Explore

If you're uphappy, do something to change it. Visit your friends at other schools, look into schools of your own, go abroad. "The world is your oyster." Do what you want, it's all about you.

Enjoy these years you have to be young and wild and free.
