Advice for the College Bound 1-5

These are a few things I think people early in college or heading to college could use to help them save money and be happier in life. This is 5 of them in no particular order:

1.) Declare your major at the last possible minute. Wait until someone forces you to do it and even then put off the paper work until they put a gun to your head.

2.) Get all your books from the library. If the professor put them on reserve then good. If the books aren't on reserve get to the library with a list of the books you need before anyone else and take them all out. Use the local library if you have to.

3.) During your first 3 years if someone is doing something fun on a weeknight, don't use class as an excuse to not do it. Do it, go party, dance, go to a concert, whatever.

4.) Stay up late, but take naps. There is a lot of stuff that happens late at night, you don't want to miss it do you.

5.) If you are in a class on the first day and think, this doesn't seem too fun, drop it. Don't tell yourself, "oh I'll just stick it out". You'll be miserable, drop it quickly and pick up a theater class.
