Begin With Graduation in Mind

The very first thing you should do when you get to school besides organizing your room is figuring out exactly just how the next four years are going to go. Now I am not talking about making final, set in stone decisions about your college career; but make sure you have some idea of where you want it to take you. It is okay if you are undecided.

Make some time to do some soul searching.
Ask yourself what is it you enjoy doing so much you would do it for free. If you are still unsure, take classes in a wide variety of subjects to help give yourself some ideas.

I would strongly suggest taking a look in your school's catalog to find out what the requirements are for the various majors. Make a chart of these possible choices and how you would spread your course load for the next four years.

This simple half hour- maximum one hour chore saves a lot of time. It saved me from almost having to take an additional semester after my senior year just to finish my major. Trust me on this one; you won't regret it.
