Go Study!

Man, the things I wish someone had told me while I was in high school:
1. Studying- its pretty essential in college
2. Trying to cut back on sleep is not the best strategy for getting more done in a day
3. It is possible to get food poisoning if you eat something sketchy looking, and especially if its at a time when you cannot afford to be sick
4. When professors say you should study an hour a week outside class for every hour you spend in class, they aren’t just exaggerating, hoping you’ll spend a fourth of that time studying
5. Two words that will make you or break you: MID TERMS
6. Exams are a REALLY big deal here . . . homework really isn’t important
7. Sometimes, after you’ve skipped class a lot of times, your professor will say that if you’ve missed more than 3 times you’re being docked letter grades
8. 90-100 is NOT an A
9. 89.6 does NOT round up to an A unless specifically mentioned by the professor
10. It’s very difficult to study in your room, on your bed, when your roommate is taking a nap
11. Library–people do go there to study
12. Highlighters and post-its should be your best friends, especially at a university where “all text sales are final”
13. Tulane is HARD, don’t let its big easy atmosphere fool you
14. If you party hard, you better be working equally hard
15. There are no excuses for missing a lab . . .unless you’re dead, GO TO LAB
16. Don’t wait until the last second to write a lab report, because chances are, its the one that takes the longest to do

Clearly, its a Week of Study for me!
