By Johnathan Black


Beginning college is among the most daunting experiences in anyone's life. It's hard to leave your childhood home for the strange new world of college! If you aren't sure you will survive your college years, check out this article. Keep reading to find out how you can go to school and have fun.

A healthy diet is extremely important during your time at college. Gaining the "freshman 15" isn't a myth! Be aware of what is going in your mouth. Stay away from fast food as much as you can. Although they may seem like a quick, cheap meal, the calories add up and you will not get enough nutrients for a sustainable energy level.

Stick to your studies. College can be a fun time, with lots of new experiences, but it's crucial to remember why you're there. Take the time to ask teachers and other students for help, and make sure you get your homework done when you need to so that your grades stay strong.

Get the names and number from a few people in each class so that if you have to be absent then they can fill you in on what was covered in class and can share their notes with you and give you any work that was assigned so that you won't get behind in your work.

Don't try to do everything in one semester. It's easy to be an overachiever when there's so much to do and everything's new. You will burn out quickly if you try to take the maximum number of credits and join every campus activity that sounds interesting. Take a reasonable number of credits and try one or two activities your first semester.

Student's discounts are one of the best perks of college, especially if you need to save money. Check with your student resource center or ask an adviser for a list of perks. Many local restaurants, movie theaters and bookstores offer generous discounts when you present a student ID. This allows you to save money and show school pride.

Use the many resources of the library. It is a great place to study, read and relax. When you really need to concentrate, the quiet of the library is a great place to escape the activity of the dorm. The library is also where you can find the most comfortable chairs on campus.

Hopefully you have learned some very valuable lessons within this article that you can apply to your collegiate aspirations. College is not easy and you've got a lot of important decisions to make; make sure you consider the big picture and not just the here and now. College will help you through the rest of your life!
