Words of Wisdom (Twelve to be Exact)

By Shilpa Chirackel, Freshman at University of California, Riverside

 Good advice for those entering college or university:
  • These next four years will determine the next forty years.
  • You really do have to study. Skimming through the textbook and hoping for the best will not work anymore.
  • To survive college, it is imperative to learn how to manage time.
  • Do not procrastinate!
  • Do not take 8 am classes. Most likely you won’t attend them. I know I can’t.
  • Meet as many people as you can…
  • Keep track of important dates such as the last day to withdraw from a class.
  • Be yourself.
  • Meet with your teachers and/or teacher assistants regularly. Go to their office hours. I promise that they are not scary individuals.
  • Do not give into peer pressure.
  • Never lose sight of your goals.
  • Most importantly, HAVE FUN!
