<p>Well, you can always have later classes, but simply wake up early and work on things outside of class, or maybe get a job and work early mornings. What I like to do is have a mixture during the week of days I can sleep in and days I get up early and get a lot done. What’s nice in my opinion is having later classes so I can stay up late, since I’m a bit of a night owl and am pretty productive at night, but that’s obviously just me.</p>
<p>If you think you’re going to be sleeping your life away if you don’t get up with the sun, you should probably be waking up early, lol. But there’s a happy medium between sleeping the whole day and getting up with the sun as well :)</p>
<p>It is critical to the learning experience to remember that it is a social endeavor, communities of learning (CoPs), even informal ones such as study groups or just coffee get together chats, really help to thrash out challenging topics.</p>
<p>CBatch: Um. Well. If you wash your neck every day, your shirt doesn’t get dirty from your neck, and … Um. You know, “Ring around the collar”. I guess you are too young to remember those TV ads? Why don’t you experiment and get back to us on this? Since I see you are not yet in college, you likely do not wash your clothes yourself yet. You will appreciate the wisdom of the advice eventually, young padowan.</p>
<p>-peer reviewing on papers is awesome (esp. when everyone goes to different colleges)
-to do all my work during the week so I could chill on the weekends</p>
<p>To some this will sound mundane and repetitive, but it does kill a person chance at gaining momentum in the first semester by developing good organizational skills, studying the same time everyday, getting proper rest and trying to eat a proper diet.</p>
<p>I remember vividly being called a nerd because I took coursework seriously, but those same students are struggling and some even asked for this nerds help. </p>
<p>So they proved my point, Procrastination does kill!</p>
<p>Con: I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not… I don’t think washing your neck would make shirts last longer. Shirts should be worn for a day, no more. Hoodies and pants more, yes, but certain things should be worn once IMO. </p>
<p>Also, do high schoolers really not wash their own clothes? I remember having to teach one 17 year old how to do laundry at a summer program, but I thought that was a freak thing o.O</p>
<p>I never did laundry til I got to college :0 I’m not a spoiled kid, at all. It was just never one of my chores. My dad just did laundry, then I asked for the laundry service at school because I really don’t ever have time to sit down and do it, and my parents said no, so I youtubed “how to do laundry.” True story.</p>
<p>I’m 17 in HS and I do laundry, so I’m pretty prepared. But I do want to know if in college, they just have coin-op washers/dryers on campus or what?</p>
<p>^Generally they’re in your dorm or at a dorm that’s close. What I like about my school is that you don’t need coins, you swipe your student ID and it takes $2 ($3 in my new dorm :() from your food account. But I think most schools have machines that require quarters.</p>
<p>^I think most schools actually do the ID thing now.</p>
<p>I’ve been doing laundry since middle school. Probably even elementary school, though I don’t remember exactly. I actually prefer doing my own laundry. dnw people messing up my clothes.</p>
<p>Exactly. There are no such positive rules. That’s where you actually get to know yourself. You are the limit of yourself. Preety much what you do is what you get in return. Thats called growing up.</p>
<p>I rarely did laundry in HS since we had a housekeeper who did that, but I did it enough times to know how. It’s really not rocket science and I’m kinda surprised people need to even Google how to do it.</p>
<p>How could I forget the #1 thing I learned: DON’T BUY YOUR BOOKS FROM THE CAMPUS BOOKSTORE. I’m still bitter about how much I was ripped off my first semester.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, I should start buying my books since classes start tomorrow.</p>
<p>I learned I need to be more social. I had a tough time making friends the 1st half of the semester, and got a bit better in the other half, but I really need to make more friends in my classes.</p>
<p>I learned that sometimes it’s better to listen than to speak. It sounds really obvious, maybe stupid, but it has really allowed me to take the back seat and observe the way other people act. I can say now, I’m much more aware of my surroundings, and how other people might perceive me.</p>
