college tips from someone who survived their first year, and got themselves off of academic probation
study every day ( reread your notes, run through your flashcards)
it helps to avoid cramming around finals season
do assignments when you get them, it doesn't matter that its not due until the end of the semester, you will forget, you will get busy, you will get caught up with doing something else so do it when you get it, so you won't have to worry about it later
don't study in your bed, its a bad habit, it will make it harder to study and make it harder to sleep
go out at least once a month, to a party, to a club, on a late night walk
carry a knife if its legal ( not just for safety reasons)
join class group mes
go to office hours, even if you don't need to, lie and say you didn't understand something so the professor knows your name
its okay to skip a class occasionally, just never two in a row, and don't make it a habit
