1. Use the Academic Support Center that your college has to offer.

2. GET RID OF DISTRACTIONS like cell phones, television, friends for the moment and whatever else may distract you from doing your work.

3. You do have access to some of your IEP only it is much shorter and broader. When you go to the support center, meet with somebody to discuss what eligibility you can get and use it.

4. Communications with your professors. That is the key to your success at college.

5. Reward yourself after you have done all the assignments that you must do. For example, go for a Sheetz run after you have done the homework.

6. If the college has tutors use them as soon as you get your schedule so that your not waiting to the last minute to get help because it may or may not be too late to do so.

7. ORGANIZE is KEY if you are disorganized than college will be a b****. Buy yourself some nice binders, have your class syllabus in each of them and keep all your papers in them so that you can go to them later and not have to try and find it. You will know exactly where they are.

8. After class ask the professor how you are doing in his and or her class. It is important that you keep yourself in the loop if you are missing anything

9. Make sure that if you are taking medications then you should still keep taking them.

10. TAKE YOUR TIME. It is the best thing you can do when you are in college. Do not try to do things so that you can get them done quickly; take your time so that you can get a good grade on them.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time.
