After all the preparation you\u2019ve done for college applications, you\u2019re probably wondering how much will be expected of you during your college education. Were those teachers right to warn you about college? Well, there\u2019s good news and bad news for you.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">First, the bad news (always the better choice, by the way) is that college is tricky. There\u2019s a new lack of outside accountability when you\u2019re living on campus. Professors won\u2019t<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> make<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> you show up to class and parents can only check up so often when you\u2019re out of the house, so you\u2019ll have to make more of an effort to get everything done.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">But there\u2019s way more good news than bad. College comes with the added benefit of getting to <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">choose<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> what you study! That makes motivating yourself a lot easier. And you\u2019ve likely chosen a major you have talent in. So as long as you\u2019re willing to study and ask for help when you need it, college really isn\u2019t as daunting as those high school instructors made it out to be!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Still, handling a college workload takes intentionality, and it\u2019s helpful to go into your freshman year with a game plan for how to handle this transition. Here are a few general principles that will help you get into the groove of college-level work in no time!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Start Slow (But Explore!)<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Your freshman year is an excellent time to explore new activities. Especially during your first few weeks, events like the Involvement Fair will show you just how many options you have on campus.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">During your first year and especially your first semester, though, take it slow. There\u2019s no harder introduction to college than overcommitting to extracurriculars only to find out you don\u2019t have the time and energy for all of them. Instead, try out as many things as you\u2019d like (most orgs and activities don\u2019t require an upfront commitment) but commit to just one or two of your favorites for the rest of the semester. This will ensure you have space to establish good study habits and see how much you can handle on top of your course load without burning out.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you find that you have extra time and space, there&#8217;s time to add more activities in future semesters but start small and work up rather than starting big and having to drop things.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Work Ahead<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">When I was in high school, I flourished under pressure \u2013 procrastination was how I finished a lot of my work!\u00a0 In college, this won\u2019t go well. Sure, you\u2019ll meet people who will loudly proclaim how long they waited to get their assignments done. It\u2019s almost a badge of honor. But that lack of planning also takes a toll.<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I\u2019ve also never enjoyed my work less than when I <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">had<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> to do it. While you probably enjoy the subject matter you\u2019ve chosen to study, there won\u2019t be any joy in it if you\u2019re stressed about your upcoming deadline. When you give yourself plenty of time to do your work, your motivation is no longer fear of missing a due date, but interest in the subject.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">So check your syllabi early, take one step toward doing that final project during the first few weeks, or study one chapter for your test as soon as it\u2019s announced in class. Usually, the big tasks that loom over a semester become a lot less daunting when you break them down and accomplish something, no matter how small, toward your end goal.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Use the In-Between Times<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">College schedules are really odd. My first semester, I didn\u2019t have any classes until after noon. Some of my friends have taken night classes that start at 6 or 8 p.m. What your schedule looks like each semester depends on which classes you\u2019re taking and what times they\u2019re available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This often leads to a lot of in-between class times. When you have a 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. class and then a 3 p.m.to 4 p.m., what are you doing with that middle hour? A lot of times, it\u2019s hard to think about studying during that time since an hour doesn\u2019t feel like enough time to get much done.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Understanding how to use your in-between times, whether it\u2019s the hour between classes, 20 minutes between a class and a mealtime, or your morning before classes start, is vital. Figure out what kinds of studying work well for these times. Do you have a book you could make another 10 pages of progress in? Could you study notes for the class you just left? If you use these times well, you\u2019ll have the added benefit of freeing up much more of your evenings and weekends to enjoy yourself and spend time with friends instead of studying!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">So, in a way, your high school teachers were right. College is a big step up from the rigid structure and external motivation of high school. It becomes your responsibility to manage your time and remind yourself of the things you need to get done. But so long as you take that responsibility and establish good habits for yourself early on, college should be a time where you enjoy your studies more than ever before.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s practically a joke online how often high school teachers tell their students college will be so much harder than high school.
