man, i was so glad to be done with college.
my only advice to you would be to pick a major in something you REALLY enjoy. because you are going to be spending a shitload of your time and life doing it. even if it is not in a field that will get you a high paying job in the future. as long as you are the best at whatever you study, you can eventually make money doing it. unless you are totally bent on becoming rich. but getting rich doing something you hate doesn't seem like it's worth it to me.
yeah, i don't know. i really like having an understanding of the natural world through science but it would have been pretty sweet if i could have become fluent in japanese and went to japan to hang out with my family for a couple years.. who knows.
just don't get stuck in some major that you totally hate. it will make your college career creep along at a torturous rate.
oh, and, fuck a lot of chicks. this is the time of life where many chicks are 'giving it up' and once you are out of college, it becomes increasingly difficult to find these kinds of girls.

actually, by my senior year, i stopped buying textbooks.
most of my professors gave exams directly out of stuff covered in lecture and i took very good notes. if i ever needed to reference the book, it was easy enough to borrow one (great way to meet fuckable women) or go to library and check it out.
books are expensive. if you can get away with not buying them, you will save a heap of cash. With some classes however, this will not be possible. the books are totally necessary. You will need to decide which classes these are.

another tip:
get all your homework done and also, clean up the apartment before you do LSD.
you don't want that kind of stress harshing your buzz.

sitting in the front greatly improved my attention and grades.
Go to the library when you have to, just do it, get it over with, and put in the time. There is plenty of time for sex and whatever, just get your shit done FIRST.

Hmmm, just remember you need time away from the books, so why not spend it at the board! :]
Well, my only suggestion is to pay attention and take decent notes. And as much as lectures are boring, they do however involve any reading material that you might of been to lazy to read the night before. :]

go to classes, study, do homework. it's why you're there, so focus on that. what you do now is paving the way for your future. remember to have fun in moderation so you don't burn out.
