It's not as hard as you might think
Instructions
1. Get organized. Yes, it's extremely appealing to be living in the dorms away from your parents breathing down your necks and hounding you to go to class and do your homework. And of course you don't want to be the dorm hermit who makes no friends and has his nose in a book all the time. However, you need to organize yourself with a planner or calendar so you can get your work done and still have a social life--before your GPA plummets and you get yanked out to live back at home with Mom and Dad.
2. Go to class. This sounds simple enough, but when you've been out all night, you can find a million and one reasons to not get out of bed and go to that 8 a.m. econ class. Drag your butt up, even if you go in your pajamas--odds are, half your classmates are doing the same thing. You can fail a class for poor attendance just as easily as you can for not handing in one assignment all semester.
3. Check into what kind of programs your school has for undecided majors. Lots of people go in with a major in mind then wind up switching and taking longer to make up credits. If you go in undecided, you can take the first one to two years to complete the core classes all students need to complete to graduate, and then declare by the end of your 2nd year when you might have a better idea of what you actually want to major in. This will give you the remaining two years to finish out your specific major's requirements.
4. Think about how lucky you are to be given the opportunity to go to college. Odds are, it's costing you and your family a lot of money to be there, and it will give you the diploma that'll look good on a resume when you get out. Screwing around wastes money as much as it wastes time; the quicker you finish, the less in debt from student loans you'll be.
