Study Habits

Most college classes do not have periodic exams and quizzes. Instead, they throw two or three major tests at you that can be disastrous if you don't stay on top of your studies.

It's cliché, but you really cannot procrastinate. It takes a level of responsibility and maturity to motivate yourself to study; but as a result, you will have less stress in your life, and you can participate in other fun extracurriculars.

Also, spread out your study time over the course of the entire class. You will not only develop a stronger grasp of the information but also retain that knowledge and avoid late-night cramming. Nothing will ruin your spirits like an all-night study session.
