It's true; make it to your junior year of college and the hard part is over. It's just a matter of time until you graduate.
In fact, if you complete your second year of college, the odds of your earning a B.A. or B.S. degree are high. That's because very few students drop out between the completion of their sophomore year and the beginning of their junior year.
It is the freshman year that students find most challenging, and it is the freshman year when they are most likely to drop out. It's not too hard to figure out why. The first year of college is a time of transition and adjustment, and neither is easy. However, if students follow a few simple rules, they'll be OK. Here are five.
1. Do not miss classes. If you do, you're sunk, even if it's not obvious to you at the time.
2. Make a schedule for yourself and follow it religiously. Study time, study breaks, and adequate sleep time are especially important to schedule. Make adjustments as necessary, but stick to the times you set...it's good insurance against slacking.
3. Don't procrastinate. You're not in high school anymore...catching up is very hard.
4. It's easy to "go wild" when you are first away from your parents and their rules. But, if you do a lot of drinking, fail to get enough sleep, and/or put your social life ahead of your educational goals, you will soon regret doing so. Be responsible.
5. Become a part of the college community. Make new friends, join at least one campus organization, and spend most of your weekends on campus.
There is no magic fomula to ensure success in college, but the five afforementioned suggestions are a great start. If you follow them, things should fall into place for you.
