1. Be confidant in who you are. Look in the mirror and know what you want, and do what you want. Don't let other people have an impact on your goals in life. Don't let one person put the slightest amount of discouragement in your head about who you are.
2. Organization is "KEY" to success in college. During the first week of school, you should collect all of your syllabuses for each class. Either put the important dates, and assignments in to your planner, or you can also add test dates or assignments in to Gmail, outlook or other email services to remind you. It might sound funny but, keeping your room clean, will provide you with more time to either study, party or do whatever you want. You wont have to waste time cleaning up your room.
3. Priorities; which were mentioned in point two; you should try and master a list of your priorities. You want to be able to determine what in your life is important. Always remember you are in school for your education and to take a thing or two away from the academic world, and translate that in to your life once you are working. Partying should not come between your academics.
4. College is a very good place to start a foundation for the path you want to succeed in. You could join varies amount of clubs that every college offers, such as drama club , stock market club, comedy club , or even the ski club.
