This is really great and very practical. After finishing school, you can now enjoy your life to the fullest but care not to step on other's toes for your own gain.

Good ideas!! Be sure to have all the tedious tasks in order before you show up on campus though. Nothing is more frustrating than having to deal with getting all the financial and enrollment stuff after you have already showed up on campus.

As far as selecting a major course of study, making hasty decisions can be extremely costly. Get the basics out of the way as much as possible before locking yourself into a career that you may decide you don't like or won't be beneficial for you 5 years down the road. Do your research.

I wish someone had sat me down and given me this advice, as Facebook did tend to take over my life at uni, I tell kids these things all the time now, but undergrads will never listen and then when they've finished uni they will tell kids this advice and wish they'd listened!

Excelent list. I think more college students need to be told to take a break and enjoy it. I have a classmate who I worked with for my senior project. She told me that I and the two other girls we worked with were the only friends she’d made during college. I found that incredibly sad. She was the top in our class, perfect grades, etc. but what a price to pay!

I wish I’d seen number 7 when I was still in school, myself. I did take some interesting classes, but a lot of the potential “Ooo, nifty” ones were sacrificed to getting out in four years, which I didn’t manage anyway. I could have lived without Japanese Culture Through Film, though. The prof thought good cinema ended in 1950 and silent films are REALLY boring without the pianist accompanying them.
