Hold Onto Your College Notes

Hold onto and set up a place to store your college notes and even a couple of books to save and not sell back. They may come in handy as you begin entering upper level courses that are building off of what you have learned. Sometimes you may need a refresher that the course doesn't have the time to allow for.

For my success, my accounting book that I saved really came in handy as a reference as I began taking upper level accounting courses. Just like math I usually needed refreshing if it had been a semester or two since I had taken a course in a lower level.

Dog and College Success

Take a second thought if you're thinking about getting a dog while you're still in high school about to go into college. College will be taking first priority and a dog, especially a puppy may get in the way of your success. Especially, if you'll be going away I recommend you not get a dog as your dog will become the dog of whoever is looking after him or her.

Remember puppy's are very demanding and are not the best idea to have during college. Even if you'll be staying at home and going to college, plan ahead and know what you'll be getting into for your success in college.

If you're going away to college then I again recommend not getting a dog as he or she won't be your dog when you get back.

Good luck and success to you!

Your College Class Schedule

It's about that time where you're deciding on what courses to take and how to set up your schedule.

A key to success in your college courses is to set up a class schedule that is conducive to your college success. Meaning your schedule should allow for breaks in between courses if need be. Take this from me who was in college don't set up your schedule as tight as possible and on as few days as possible. It's possible to be successful in college and do this, however, it may be difficult depending on courses and load.

The key to success is giving yourself breaks in between those courses. As always good luck in college!
