Getting The Most Out Of Class

By Jason Larrsohn


The day has finally come, you have graduated from high school, you are an adult, and you are free. All of your years of hard work and practical servitude are about to pay off, so what do you do next? The options are next to endless, but one of the most common and exciting is the opportunity to attend college.

What's already there?

If you are planning to embark on your college experience, there are a few things that you should definitely keep in mind to make sure that you have the best time possible in college and that you are able to use your college experience to come closer to your future goals.

College has the potential to be one of the best experiences of your life, so prepare today to make that possibility a reality, and knock the socks off college. The choice is yours, so take this opportunity to choose a college experience that will make you happy and prepare you for a future of following and achieving your dreams.

One of the most important things to do as you prepare for college is to think about your goals for your career, your education, and your life. When you have a clear idea of the kinds of things you would like to spend your life doing, you will have an easier time making the choices that will get you there.

So research careers and colleges thoroughly so that when you pull on your first piece of University of Miami apparel, or your first Texas Tech T-shirts, you will know that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, and doing exactly what you wanted to do.

And once you have decided what and where you want to go, you should take the opportunity to set short and long term goals to help you achieve your dreams. Although wearing Arizona State apparel is a great step, it is not the only step in working towards attending the right school.

If you need help determining what you should take and what you should buy later, start by packing only the big necessities (blankets, clothes, etc.) as well as personal items you are positive you want with you at college (select photos, decorations, music, movies). Cut off items that you will most likely use less than once a month from your packing list. Remember, college rooms are usually small and you will most likely move a few times throughout your college career. Be practical. Don't take your whole world with you. Besides, you will always run across cool things that you will buy while you are away at college. You will most likely buy some University of Miami apparel or a Texas Tech t-shirt. If, after packing the necessities, you still have room, go ahead and throw in smaller supplies that you could have bought post-move.

So, whether you end up in University of Miami T-shirts, Florida State Clothing, or Texas Tech apparel, you should take advantage of the many opportunities you have now to research and prepare for your college experience. You deserve to have a college experience that is memorable for the right reasons. It should help you come closer to your goals, and you should have fun. Making clear goals will help you to achieve both aspects of a good time at college.
