my first semester of college is over! looking back at the past few months, here are some important things i\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
most college classes are curved, so you\u2019ll end up doing better than you think. even if you feel like you didn\u2019t do very well on a test, you may still get a good grade if you score higher than some of your classmates. unlike in high school, an 85% could mean an a instead of a b.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
don\u2019t let it pile up! you don\u2019t want the extra stress of having no clothes to wear on top of all the other annoyances you have to deal with.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
don\u2019t get in the habit of going to sleep extremely late every night because then you\u2019ll never be able to fall asleep early when you need to. this sucks when you have a 9 am meeting and are lying in bed awake until 3 am. try to manage your time so you can finish most of your homework during the day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
don\u2019t be afraid to get help from your teachers. not everyone does this, so you\u2019ll have an advantage over your classmates. you\u2019ll feel more confident with the material and less stressed out in general.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
no matter who you are, there will always be someone with better grades and a better social life than you. so don\u2019t waste your mental energy worrying that you\u2019re not good enough.<\/p>\n
