Board 8 > So, B8. I'm starting college in the fall. Any tips?

(+) Yeah! (+)

So far, so good. I'm feeling great about it, and I managed to get a solid SAT score; I'm not sure what I'm going to major in yet, but I'm definitely trying to figure it out. I also think I have a school picked out.

Out of curiosity, though, do y'all have any tips for the college life? Serious advice and funny tips are both welcome.

Be wise in managing your time. Seriously, I barely scraped by because of my laziness and procrastination habits.

Oh, I am one yet many.

Finish assignments first, THEN party hardy.

http://calnewport.com/blog/ The productivity tips are excellent, so long as you're willing to spend a little extra time in exchange for less stress and more mastery of the material. If you just want a degree though, do whatever.

I've actually been out of high school for about two years! So, we're not quite the same age. :P

I am a little nervous about this, since my time management skills are somewhat lacking. I think I've been improving them, though.

What is this, some kind of joke?!
Go, then. There are other worlds than these.

two onions
some mushrooms
three cans of rotell (it's tomatoes and green chilies)
then some ground meat, about three pounds. Basically whatever is cheapest. Ground turkey and italian sausage are both pretty good.

cook it all up. Consider spices such as cumin, crushed red pepper, and chili powder.

You can use this in tortillas with a little cheese, or in spaghetti sauce, or in omelets. Try using other vegetables in the recipe as well.

It should run you about $30, and should last a little over a week, without being ultra high in carbs.

Sounds pretty tasty. I'll keep that in mind!

Pursue a degree in CS or engineering.

Try hard.
Camp harder.

If you can stomach CS, I'd say that's definitely one of the most desirable degrees these days. I wish I wouldn't have hated it. I'd probably have a job by now.

If you do anything related to computers, expect to be programming in the real word. So when they make you learn to do that, actually learn it

the most important thing about college is time management. If you set aside proper time to study, the time with beer and friends will be much more rewarding since you feel like you accomplished something before hand.

I know CS is a sought-after degree, but I don't know. I'm not a very technology-oriented person.

That's a good way of looking at it, man! Gotta work for those parties. :P
