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

I would tell myself to wake up and smell the roses. I lived in a fantasy world in high school, where my parents payed for all my needs and teachers were very lenient. At college its the opposite. Im on my own in paying for tuition, books, materials even personal items, teachers are very strict and people and students tend to use you. College is a "dog eat dog" world and you have to watch your own back at all times and figure out how to accomplish everything correctly, mostly by yourself, compared to high school where teachers and parents helped with everything. College is the real deal in life and it prepares you for what high school cant, reality!

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior about college, i would tell myself that i should try harder. I would also tell myself to give everything my best because it would pay off in life. What you do in high school effects your whole life.
