What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I probably wouldn't. When i was a high school senior i wouldn't have listened to anyone, not even myself. However, i would go back and talk to myself, at about the middle of last semester. I would tell myself not to give up, and that college would be worth it in the end. I would tell myself yes, college will only get harder, but that if i just read my text books, i could get good grades and learn a lot. I would tell myself that i would meet so many new friends and that i would gain both priceless knowledge and memories. I would make sure i understood how to study and take notes properly, in class and out of class. I would tell myself that I?m not going at this alone, that though it may seem like there aren't, there actually are so many people out there willing to help me. Most of all i would just tell myself, that i can do this and not to quit trying until I?m done and have a degree.
