Stay Connected.

 Your school is a very busy institution and there is always something going on. Weather it be an event or it be a deadline. Make sure that you're registered to receive emails from your school to be updated with what is going on. Deadlines and opportunities are your responsibility.

Manage Your Time.

In college you'll have a bigger work load than ever before. It is important to stay on top of things in order to succeed in college.

Take a look at your syllabus and give yourself a timeline on big tests and projects.

Build Relationships.
