Yes -- absolutely.  Also, when you choose classes, ask upper-classmen/women about the classes they found most interesting and teachers they found most effective and helpful.

And, friends are important.  I'm 30 years out from college and those friendships have been mainstays in my life through some difficult times.  My oldest kids are recent college grads, and I already see how much their college friends mean to them.  Take time to be a friend.

Set time aside for exercise and sleep.

Finally, birth control is essential.  [/quote]

Either your age is showing, or your nerdiness, or both.  [/quote]

Ha -- I'll gladly cop to both of those (note that I mentioned I graduated 30 years ago).  How about you -- will you cop to your ageism and general nastiness?  How does it make you feel?  Do you need to be gratuitously mean to make yourself feel better?  There are other ways to do that, you know.    [/quote]
