Gah, school starts this Monday. I don't like school. It's my first year of high school though. Don't know if that's good or bad... Anyone else here going back to school?

im well out of school at this stage but i will never forget it. i wish i did it differently though. i wish i studied more ha ha alot more. if i was going back to school i would plan it and knuckle down. i would have one really close friend and do it one day at a time.

are you worried about it?

college is a very exciting time

If you make use of all the resources on campus, you should be well off.

Here's a tip

-You will need to triple your studying time.
-Seek help as soon as you need. Tests are much harder than in highschool.
-I would hold off joining a social club until the 2nd year so you can focus more on your studies(they tend to 'weed off' a lot of first year students by curving the class so that a certain percentage fail)
-Make friends with your professor and teaching assistants, they are pivotal in your success
-Get one or two buddies from each class who you can contact in case you miss lecture.

If you have any more questions, don't hesistate to ask Smile

I dunno...I don't agree that the tests are neccisarily harder, and at my college like only one class had the grades curved. I agree that you should get to know your professors though...easy for me to do since im at a small college. I go back to school tomorrow...back to hibernation.

tests were harder for me and they were worth so much more than high school b/c tests are really your only assignment. but every proffessor, class, and college is different. meet people! don't stay in your room b/c you'll be miserable by the end of the year.
