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

Assuming I can go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would advise myself to pay attention in school and learn as much as I can from my teachers. I realized in college that college doesn't start all over with educational information. College builds on what you learn in high school and continues to enhance that knowledge of what was learned in high school. Teachers tend to spend less time trying to teach you what you need to know in college, so its helpful to learn as much as possible while in college. Also, I would advise myself to establish good study habits as these carry on over throughout college. I would also advise myself to take more advanced placement courses as these units carry over to the university and count as college credit. Accruing college credits in high school will help in graduating earlier from college.
