When I was reading my past articles, I noticed that majority of these were my personal notes, reflections, views, etc. Now, I’m about to enter college, and somehow, in my own little way, I wanted to be a great help to you guys, most especially those, my fellows who’re about to enter college.

I’ve done some research recently about tips in college in various websites on the internet-landia, and so I wanted to share it with you guys. Some of these are really MY idea, others aren’t.

1. Prepare each day as if there’ll be a pop quiz.
If you haven’t enrolled yet, as much as possible, do not go for back-to-back classes. This is so high school. Who would want to encounter a terror teacher every hour, right? It’s best that you have enough time to ponder or understand things that were taught to you minutes before leaving that room and be able to study in preparation for the next subject.

2. Do not join clubs/ organizations immediately.
As for my case, ADDU doesn’t allow college freshmen to join any clubs yet until their second year. For those enrolling to universities where this case is allowed, I suggest that you wouldn’t. Why? You haven’t adjusted to your new environment yet, and now you are to join a club? A big no-no. It’s best for you to be academically & physically stable first before getting additional load such as clubs/orgs which may directly and/or indirectly affect your studies.

3. Make new friends.
If you have a problem with this-or-that lessons, at least you have a friend to turn to; unless your friends doesn’t understand the lessons too? *haha* But again, friends are also a part of our personal foundation towards the community, that is our college environment.
