College is the best learning experience. It helps you transition into adulthood with training wheels. You are responsible for yourself and make most of your day-to-day and life decisions while having support from adults around you. College is fun but also work. You are there for school first, friends and parties second :). Be intentional about your time. It is easy to slip into the social aspect of college and forget that you are there to earn a degree. The level of work required of you is different and, at times, difficult. College is preparing you for adult life. Going to class and getting good grades is the same as going to work (on time) and doing a good job. If you do not perform in school, you get a bad grade; if you do not perform at work, you get a low rating on your review and no raise. Be open to new experiences, meeting new people, and becoming an official adult!

If there's one big piece of advice I can give you, it's to use everything and everyone available to you. College is hard. Classes are challenging, and adjusting to adult life can be tricky, but everyone around you will be going through or has already gone through the same thing, so you have more help than you may realize.
Talk to your classmates or friends if you're struggling with a class to see if you can work together to help each other understand it better. Your school may also offer free tutoring, and you can stop by your professor's office during their office hours to ask them for help. The same goes for challenges in life in general. Be honest with your roommates, friends or family about what you're going through. Don't be afraid to ask them for advice. It can feel embarrassing to ask for help, but the truth is, no one gets through it alone, and no one is as alone as they may feel sometimes.
I'd also encourage you to look for local groups or organizations in your college town that could offer help. Student groups, intramural sports, churches, and clubs are great places to meet people who can help you out with school or life. Your school's Student Life program may list a few options like this you can get involved in to get connected and have more resources to help you through.
