I have learned a lot after reading these articles. Going from being a high School student to a college student is a big transformation and a lot of freshman don't know what to except. One thing I did know what that the work load in college is a lot different than high school work, this is what I was most nervous about.
One of the articles that was very helpful to me was the "College Advice, From People Who Have Been There Awhile." This articled stated that you should make sure you get the right teacher for all of your classes. Some of the ways the articles said to do this were: ask your adviser, poll older students, or search the internet. I didn't really do any of this to make sure I got all good students but I am happy with all of my professor's. But maybe next semester I will keep this in mind so I don't get stuck with a bad teacher because I think it is very important to have a good teacher that knows what they are doing. For me, it is difficult for me to learn if my teacher is boring and it makes me not interested to learn.
Another article that I found valuable was the "Work Hard or Work Smart" article. This article talked about how important it is to work hard and push yourself in order to work at your full potential. This article had a quote that was really inspiring to me, "work your tail off. Work harder than you thought possible. You have way more in you than you can imagine. You are stronger than you think you are, you are more creative than you believe yourself to be, you are infinitely more powerful than you believe you are and you can reach that summit." This quote is basically saying you challenge yourself because you are smarter than you think and in order to become a better student you have to push yourself.
