Tips+for+College+Life

Please feel free to add your ideas on tips for college.
 * College is a time of independence. Here are some guidance for people going off college.


 * Set specific times for Skype Chat with your parents. This way your parents aren't calling you every two seconds.
 * Have a coin collection just for laundry.
 * Room with someone you don't know. You might want to room with your best friend from high school, but living with someone is a whole different issue. Conflicts in the dormitory can destroy a close relationship.
 * Keep a monthly budget and stick to it!
 * Always have back-up for cash.
 * Do not drink from on open cup or can.
 * Enjoy your independence, but be responsible.
 * In most of your classes (especially at big schools), your professors will not be taking attendance. They may not even notice if you are absent. Yes, this does mean that teachers will not be nagging for you to come to class all the time. However, you should still attend all of your lectures, because once exam time comes around, you'd regret having missed so many lessons!
