The "first" post

Boy, has college been smooth. The first week was very dormant. Not much happened. But now since the second week started, the work seems to be piling up.

Now, time to refer to some of the review questions:
During the transition from high school to college, you will face a major turn in your life. In the college life, you will meet new people. During this situation, both of you will face different challenges. For example, you will need to adjust to the lifestyle in the dorms as the other must figure out a way to commute to school from an apartment away from campus. Jobs will differ from classes you are taking. Things that you and your friend will face will probably be the college life. Well, I mean college life isn't that simple. college is completely different from high school. You will have your own responsibility to complete the work assigned. In college, nobody treats you like a kid.
What are values? Values are our beliefs and attitudes about the way we think things should be. My values are my family and friends, a good education, and career. These values will give me motivation to succeed in college. Without them, I don't think I would last in college.
If I was talking to a high school student, I would tell them don't slack off. A little break once in awhile is good but don't let that get in the way of your academics. Staying organized is a good way to prepare for college life too.

Tips For Success in College #1
Keep track of your money If you've never had to create a budget, now is the time to start. College is great place to begin. Stretch out your budget as even as possible. Debt is not your friend. Supposedly, credit card debt in college can become very high.
