As obvious as this may sound, going to class increases the likely hood of you passing. Just because attendance doesn't count towards your grade doesn't mean you shouldn't go to class. Even if walking there is a struggle.

2. Talk to Your Professor

Chances are, you are going to be put into some large classes. Like 100+ student classes. Chances are the professor may not learn your name by the end of the semester, and that's okay. Talking to your professor will help you better understand the class it may lead to opportunities later in your college career when you need references for something.

Always make sure you have enough time to get things done. Having a planner helps and you don't have to worry about missing deadlines, and don't forget to always be on time. Walking into the middle of class late and leaving early is a distraction.

5. Sleep
