Default Re: Advice for college

1. Study what you enjoy. It will be much easier and you will learn more.

2. Don't sweat all the supposedly required courses for B-school, law, etc. Other than the staples for med school and maybe a math and econ class to show you can do basic math you can major in anything and still do almost all grad schools including med, law and B-school.

3. College is easy if you have good study habits. So do this: every morning before lunch go to class and get two hours of hard core studying done. Every day. By late lunch your day is yours and you will do better and get more done than 80-90% of your classmates without lifting another finger. I am not kidding. Do it alone. Read your notes after lecture and just imagine how you would explain it to a classmate and what you believe the prof will ask on the test.

4. Schedule a lot of lunches. With friends, girlfriends, whomever.

5. Find some activities you like. Take archery. Go rock climbing. Whatever you like. College is a phenomenal opportunity to do interesting things.

6. Find good friends.

7. Have fun.
