Being in college is all fun and games until you realize it's 3 A.M. and you have an 8 A.M. in the morning... and you're still "lit" until your class begins. You then proceed to get to class and either think you should have skipped that class or never went out the night before. This is just a glimpse of what college mistakes you should avoid.

1. If it's a school night, say NO.

Do not stay out all hours of the night when you have an 8 A.M. the next day. You're going to lose focus, and if you have a test that day, you're most likely screwed. Do yourself a favor. Either schedule later classes or just stay in.

2. Don't skip class to get food.

I understand you get hungry during your 3-hour lecture, but bring snacks. Don't skip out on a lecture that could be important, just to get Taco Bell. The food will be there after class.

3. Do not procrastinate.

If you're like me, you like waiting last minute to do everything. It's only going to pile up and you're going to stress to the max over this. Do the assignment when its assigned and study a week in advance before the test.

4. Don't hook up with any classmates.

Unless you're ready for a semester of awkward lectures, do not hook up with a classmate. I, for one, cannot sit through an entire class, feeling like I'm being watched by a former hookup the whole time.

5. Don't stop your social life for a class.

Seriously. I try to go see my friends at least three times a week. I also try to keep an active fitness schedule and eat clean all while maintaining classes and two jobs. It's not easy but its going to be rewarding in the end.
