college courses are definitely harder than high school classes, but if you have the right study strategies, you can succeed. get in the college academic mindset while still in high school, and the transition will be a lot easier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

learn how to study with distractions<\/h2>\n

in college, you\u2019re around people all the time. so you need to learn how to study when everyone is talking, laughing, and socializing. train yourself now or you probably won\u2019t get anything done\u2026 speaking from experience here\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

don\u2019t be afraid to get help<\/h2>\n

getting help from your professor in a class of hundreds of students is intimidating. but you\u2019re more likely to do it if you\u2019re used to meeting with teachers in high school. make the habit of scheduling a meeting whenever you need a clarification. and of course, meet before big tests and essays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

no procrastination<\/h2>\n

do things as soon as they\u2019re assigned. if you leave everything to pile up, that\u2019s when you\u2019ll be pulling all-nighters. so get out of the habit of procrastination while still in high school, and you\u2019ll thrive in college.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

prioritize<\/h2>\n

learn to figure out which homework is most important. since you\u2019ll be super busy in college, you won\u2019t have time to do everything. some work will be more influential than other work, so you have to learn to identify which is which.<\/p>\n

you also need to learn to prioritize when you\u2019re making a choice between a social activity and doing homework. like i said, there are a lot of distractions in college, but don\u2019t allow them to make you fall behind.<\/p>\n
