TIPS ON HOW TO SURVIVE COLLEGE:

* DO THE READINGS, TAKING NOTES AS YOU DO SO. YOU'LL RETAIN MUCH MORE IF YOU READ
ACTIVELY, AND YOUR NOTES WILL HELP YOU OUT A TON WHN EXAM TIME ROLLS AROUND.

* PARTICIPATE IF THE CLASS CALLS FOR IT. MANY COLLEGE STUDENTS HATE OR ARE AFRAID OF
SPEAKING IN FRONT OF GROUPS, BUT YOU WILL GET SO MUCH MORE OUT OF YOUR CLASSES AND WILL
ENJOY THEM SO MUCH MORE IF YOU CAN GET PASS THIS.

* DON'T BE AFRAID OF BEING WRONG, YOUR PROFESSOR JUST WANT YOU TO TRY, AND PROBABLY
WASN'T ASKING A QUESTION WITH A "RIGHT OR WRONG" ANSWER TO BEING WITH

* IN LARGE 1ST YEAR CLASSES THERE MIGHT NOT BE ANYONE TAKING ATTENDANCE, WHICH MEANS
THAT YOU WON'T GET IN TROUBLE THE SAME WAY YOU MAY HAVE IN HIGH SCHOOL. THIS DOESN'T
MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T GO TO CLASS, THOUGH, AND SOME TEACHERS WILL HAVE AN ATTENDANCE
POLICY. MORE IMPORTANTLY, SKIPPING CLASS MEANS MISSING OUT ON VALUABLE LEARNING. DON'T
MAKE YOUR LIFE MORE DIFFICULT BY FORCING YOURSELF TO CRAM COME EXAM TIME. COLLEGE IS
ALSO EXPENSIVE, AND NOT GOING TO CLASS MEANS THAT YOU ARE WASTING A LOT OF YOUR
PARENTS' MONEY.
