Remember that for any have-cocked reckless idea you may come up with there will be a chorus of people supporting you in executing it. Go with your gut, don't lose respect for the people you can truly count on.
What will you be studying?

1. Study hard your first year and get a high GPA because it is a serious bitch to raise your GPA once you start off slow. If you finish your freshman year with 3.5 GPA or better, it is easier to maintain it in your subsequent years. 2. You can have a little more fun your sophmnore year and and enjoy the college experience. 3. Intern between your Summers 4. Really focus on your last two years because the real world is right around the corner. 5. THese are the most important 4 years of your life and can determine your future success. Make these 4 years count. Your GPA stays with you forever. 6. Take advantage of these college years because you will never see this many of the opposite sex of mostly the same age and with the same basic issues (tests, not enough money, classes, ball games, etc.). So meet, greet, and be a party animal. Once you are out of college everything changes big time and becomes so real too fast. Some people take themselves too seriously at times. 7. Enjoy the hotties . 8. Enjoy your ride.

speaking of which, any advice dating-wise for college. i've never had a GF nor went on a date. i'm not a computer junkie who's in his room 24/7 on the computer. i play soccer and do lots of things. i just suck with girls.

Biggest mistake guys make is they unknowingly put a lot of pressure on girls. Don't talk their ear off, don't put them on the spot to make a judgement about you. If they feel like you are coming on too strong they'll decide you're a freak and sail you bull until they can get away.
Just be honest, always say what's on your mind, and don't take yourself or women too seriously. If a girl is interested in you you'll absolutely know! If you can't tell, she's not. If you have issues with confidence just remember if they don't like you then they're probably crazy anyway and you don't want them. There are huge advantages to single and non-single life. It really is all good. You've got to learn how to enjoy both if you want to be happy in either state.
As far as your major, the people that can help you out are professors. Get to know them, stop by their offices, see if any of them have anything interesting to say. It's amazing that no one beats down the door to take advantage of these valuable resources. Most students are content to listen to their equally-as-clueless peers.

Go to all your classes, study hard, and know where where your real priorities lie. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

If you haven't had any luck with girls, I personally wouldn't try to start right away, now. It's different in high school where grades dont really mean anything as long as you pass, but college is different. Your focus needs to be on your work now. If you spend all of your time chasing girls, the schooling will almost be pointless.
So for right now, take it easy and get the important, real things out of the way first. Just my 2 cents Posts: 253 | Registered: Mar 2004

dont jump off a 14 foot balcony like i did. it'll f*ck up your knee forever. if for some reason you do have to jump from a 14 foot balcony, make sure you dont land square on the ground (like i did). roll to help ease the shock and you should come out of it fine. dont ask why i jumped from a 14 foot balcony

I agree. There's going to be LOTS of distractions, especially from the girls. I'm not saying you can't have a great time (at the appropriate times, but this is the time to work hard and learn as much as you can. Like Salvy Mic, I learned the hard way too. I struggled to finish college because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life, but I eventually got my BA degree.
