The document provides tips for succeeding in college. It recommends attending and engaging in class, taking advantage of campus resources like tutoring, reviewing notes after class, keeping up with homework by planning ahead, working ahead and not procrastinating, staying motivated, taking breaks to prevent stress, and getting help from tutors or professors if falling behind.

2. ● Attend class! I know this seems silly, but this is the
first mistake people make. Being present is crucial –
and not just there, but mentally present (take notes,
ask questions, engage).
● Take advantage of on-campus activities and services
(each student gets free tutoring time weekly and
there are constantly workshops to help improve
your skills).
● Review your notes after class (fill in gaps, make
notes on what you don't understand so you can ask
the professor to clear it up for you).

3. ● Keep up with your homework – write down your
assignments in a planner and make weekly “to-
do” lists to avoid missing assignments.
● Get your school things ready the night before
instead of the morning of class; this makes
mornings less stressful and prevents you from
leaving important things behind!
● Work ahead as much as possible and do not
procrastinate – your life will be much easier.

4. ● Keep yourself motivated throughout the
semester! Don't let yourself get behind or
overwhelmed – if you start to feel anxious just
take a deep breath and prioritize.
● Make sure to set aside time for yourself every
day so you can do something relaxing to
prevent stress.
● If you start to get behind or don't understand
what is being discussed in class, make an
appointment with a tutor or your professor!
Don't wait until it's too late!
