Advice

Stress in college is a little over exaggerated. This is probably due to the dramatic girls and guys that make it seem harder than it actually is. I know that growing up I always heard horror stories about all the work and the big papers kids had to write. Sure that is tough, but if you schedule things out everything should go just fine. First you need to make sure that you don’t procrastinate. Always have things done at least 1-2 days before they are due. Secondly, make yourself a schedule or use a planner. Write all your homework assignments and tests in their respective date boxes. Make sure that you have them completed. Then, after you have finished it or turned it in you will find great satisfaction in crossing it off of your calendar. Also, leave time for you to do what you want. If you don’t have free time you will never make it four years at college. You have to have time to yourself. This acts as a stress reliever. So remember, don’t procrastinate, use a planner/calendar, and make sure that you have down time. This advice is important because I know that it worked for me. I earned excellent grades my first year of college.
