    15. To best prepare for the 21st century Our advice is-- when you are ready, choose a major YOU love!* *( do not equate major with job) Your acquired knowledge and TRANSFERRABLE skills will be valued in an ever changing and more complex world of work in the future

    19. HOW TO ACE COLLEGE

    20. Dr. Richard Light, Harvard Prof, writes in his book, Making the Most of College You should: get to know at least 1-2 faculty each term (for advice, support, and providing references ) Manage time in blocks plan your hours for study Get involved in variety of extracurricular activities Take a mix of courses-- and dont devote first years solely to requirements.* (* Light also says parents are well meaning but give lousy advice on point 4,--theyre especially bad at picking courses! ? )

    21. ** Make it happen: If its not on your calendar, itll never happen. Phil Keoghan Its ALL about time management!! Reserve or block 2 hours of study for every credit hour. 16 credits X 2 = 30+ hrs (!!) of scheduled study time every week Utilize your blocked daytime hours for study go to the library regularly or to a quiet study area, not to your room!! ** Things which matter most should never be at the mercy of things which matter least. Goethe
