I knew people who were pretty upset that they didn't get their "Mrs." degree in college, so just be aware that not everyone meets their future hubby there and that college is for getting an education.

I agree with this statement. There are plenty of other men outside of school, like your church, at the workplace, or even the mall. Be patient. There are many people that wait until their 30s, even their 40s before they walk down the aisle. This is 2008, not 1958. And remember, you need to say I AM before you say I DO.

-Never use Wikipedia as one of your sources for your paper. Furthermore, don't use a lot of websites for your sources, unless they are from strong sources (i.e. newspaper). Wikipedia is the worst kind of source, because some of the stuff is not accurate. Use books, articles from good sources, and periodical journals as your source. If your school offers a tour of the library, take advantage of it. You will need to go to library.

-Arrive on time for classes and stay for the entire class (unless there is an emergency). There are some professors that dock you for being late, leaving early, heck even going to the bathroom during class. Make arriving on time a habit, because you need to do that when you head out in the real world.

-Keep track of your absences and your tardies. There are some professors that track absences and tardies. If you are absent or tardy for the maximum allowed, then you will be penalized (i.e. lose a letter grade or worse, getting an F).

-If your school does buyback when the semester ends, be aware that they may not buy back your book. Also, you may get significantly less for your book. For instance, you may pay $90 for your math book, but may get $10 or even less. One of the reason may be that they are using a new book.

-Try to get assignments done by at least two to three days before the deadline, because you never know what might happen. There might be a power outage the day before the deadline. If that happens, and if you are not finished, well you can figure out what will happen.
