19. MP3 Digging Five things I wish I’d known when I started college Congratulations! You’ve worked hard and you’ve got to college. Your parents are really proud of you … relieved too, I guess. So what happens now? College is the best place to broaden your horizons and the best time to meet people, to work hard, to play sports, to fall in and out of love, to find out about our great big world. But faced withso much choice, is it surprising that you sometimes don’t know what to do? Looking back at my college years, I wish I had known about…

20. MP3 Digging How to organize time At last! You have the freedom which you’ve waited for while you were at high school. But now what are you going to do with it? Look at your timetable of lectures and assignments, and write down the number of hours you need. Then calculate what’s left of the day, and that’s yours, to spend on trying out everything else on offer. I can assure you, the first time you do the math, you’ll get it wrong. Hope your professor is OK with that! But the next time, you’ll get it right. You’re smart, otherwise you wouldn’t be here in the first place.

21. MP3 Digging How to make friends Friends you make at college are likely to remain friends all your life. So why did I make so many friends in the first semester and spend five semesters unmaking them? Because I lacked confidence and was scaredof being unloved. I also felt inadequate – everyone seemed smarter than me! I wish I’d known that it’s fairly difficult to be truly miserable at college, and that not many people are smarter. I bet you WILL make friends. It’s almost impossible not to. (Although check your personal freshness, you know what I mean.)

22. MP3 Digging How important it is to get enough sleep No one will tell you when to go to bed! You can stay up after midnight if you like! Hold on! I wish I’d remembered that I’d still need as much sleep as I needed when I was in high school. Get the rhythm of your day right. It may even start with a subway journey if you live off campus, and then with your first lecture or seminar. It’ll include study time in the library, and it should include some physical activity. You also need to eat, talk to friends, go to a movie, and maybe even find some quiet time for yourself. But after that, it’s crucial to get some rest! It’s a basic human need, so don’t neglect it, if only because your mom is really good at detecting when you stay up too late or cut classes.

23. MP3 Digging How to plan for the future When I was at school, I had so many plans for my career. But in fact, my plans changed over the years. To be quite honest, I confessit wasn’t untilmy late twenties that I finally found my true path in life. Sure, it’s a great idea to have your dreams as a freshman. So go ahead, pursue the ideal. But don’t let your ambition frustrate you. College may make you more realistic, more awarethat having a decent salary, having a warm and supportive family of your own, and being happy are equally important as a brilliant career, if not more so. I’m less ambitious than I was when I was 19, but I’m happier.

24. MP3 Digging How to enjoy life Basically, I thought if I just kept my head in my books, I’d be doing the right thing. But I wish I’d known that life becomes enjoyable not just by handing in assignments on time, shivering on the edge of life, but by diving into a pool of new friendships, swimming around lots of new ideas, and drying off in the warm sunshine of new experience. It’s hard to get that balance, but just keep trying. It’s worth it!
