I want to start by saying that you are allowed to have fun in college. It's your time to realize who you are, who you're not. However, that should not be an excuse to be careless and waste thousands and thousands of dollars based on poor decisions.
If you or someone else you know is having trouble figuring out where you're going wrong in college, here are just some things you should stop doing to hopefully better your college experience academically.
Skipping class.
Point blank. Period. Every class you skip is hundreds of dollars going down the drain. It is so disrespectful to professors and most importantly, you're hurting your chance to get a good education.
Eating fast food every day.
1. It's unhealthy, and 2. it is crazy expensive! I mean if you have the money and work out a lot, go for it I guess. Go crazy and try to cook something different every once in a while!
Going out to drink every day of the week.
You have better things to do than to go out every night and drink and party. Every night or every other night is kind of excessive? Just be safe, choose your time wisely, take care of yourself.
Not doing your homework.
Where do you think that will get you?
Procrastinating all day every day.
I am guilty of this sometimes myself. But make time to get your stuff done! You'll thank me later.
Giving up.
Use your resources, get help with a tutor or visit your professors. Do not give up!
