Congratulations on your acceptance into college! Starting college is an exciting time in your life. While starting college is an exciting time it can also be overwhelming time if you do not managers your time. I would recommend utilizing using the calendar and reminders on your phone to schedule your classes as well as due dates for assignments. Planning ahead with the reminders will keep you organized and will eliminate any last minute all nighters for exams or papers. When you begin college it will feel like you will have all this extra time but staying on top of your assigned reading daily is crucial. Be careful with participating in too many extra curriculars, and social engagements until you become familiar with managing your time. Getting enough sleep, and eating on a normal schedule will be important to your health. Budgeting your money will an important challenge you will face especially during your freshman year. To maintain a budget spend within your means. Avoid all the free credit card offers and keep just one with a lower limit. Credit card interest can be costly and negative credit will follow you.
Plan your assignments, join a study group, meet your professors, get enough sleep, watch how many late night pizzas you consume and enjoy the ride! The next four years will fly by so take in every moment.

Moving on to college is an awesome step in your journey of life! I know it can be a little daunting to go to this new environment, but this is your opportunity to explore your potential. My advise would be to challenge yourself to learn something new and look for your passion. In my journey I changed my mind about my degree several times but my purpose never changed. I'm committed to helping people grow and learn. My original passion for teaching has evolved to a non-traditional classroom in a corporate environment. Try something new to find what you love!
