What will help you in college?

Some of the tips that I’ve gotten from people over my first few weeks as a college student that I think will really stick with me are ways to manage your time, how to take initiative with your professors and in the class room. One thing I definitely think would be helpful for some students, me included, if I was ever presented with this issue is to let your professor know you will be late to class because you only have ten minutes to run from one building to the farthest building from it. Also, something every student should do is take initiative with their professor’s. If there is something you don’t understand in class, you should ask your professor after class or during office hours for help. Especially if it’s something vital for the rest of the class. Your professor will be more than happy to help you. I plan on visiting my music theory professor during his office hour for help on certain parts of the class that is the base for everything else we will be learning. Another thing every college student should do is take initiative in the classroom. Answer every question you can, say something if you have something to say. That is something I must start doing. I have to start taking initiative in the classroom and start sharing my opinion and say something if it comes to mind and has something to add to the discussion in the class. Also, every college student must learn to manage their time. For me, it’s been hard at times. To go from the transition to never having homework as a senior to all of the sudden constantly having homework is crazy. I had all electives my senior year, so I never had any homework, now I have homework for every class and its always more than one assignment. I just need to manage my time correctly and everything can get done without any problems. I believe once a student has all of this down and more, they will do great in college.
