<p>What do you wish you had known before starting freshman year? (:
Any regrets? Any of those, "I wish I'd known this!" moments? For freshman this fall haha.</p>

2

<p>I wish I had known what I wanted to pursue, otherwise I wouldn’t have wasted as much time as I did.</p>

<p>That and enroll in classes as early as possible before everyone else snags them like vultures.</p>

3

<p>I wish I’d been less afraid of difficult courses (took an intro anthro class instead of an upper division humanities class, because I was scared by the number of upperclassmen in it), because the difficult classes have been the most rewarding ones.</p>

<p>I wish I had taken second semester courses more seriously since my first semester was so simple that I didn’t expect the sudden change in course load.</p>

<p>I also wish I hadn’t been so terrified of office hours for the first few months. </p>

<p>Also wish I hadn’t been so incredibly set in my major(s). Took on a double-major of something I’ve loved for years with something that I had only had one good class in during high school, and it’s taken me a year to drop that awful second major to take on a minor that I love with all my heart.</p>

<p>And I wish I had figured out the school/city bus system faster.</p>

<p>i wish i had figured out how to study correctly</p>

6

<p>Not to buy my books at the campus bookstore. That’s my biggest regret. ugh I got ripped off so badly.</p>

7

<p>Putting things off till the last minute doesn’t work like it did in high school.</p>

<p>Memorization is King; reading is the folly of high-IQ fools.</p>
