    4. Find a study partner. Difficult classes should never be taken without the help of a study partner. Study partners are great for bouncing ideas off, keeping you accountable when you’d rather flake on a difficult subject, and even encourage you to seek a tutor. They also make planning regular study sessions fun!

    5. Visit your student advisor or counselor. Student counselors are available to help make your transition painless. They can provide a list of resources for scholarships and grants, make sure you stay on track academically, provide a list of tutors, and even offer advice on personal subject matters that may be causing havoc in your school life.

    6. Keep your space clean and organized. When your living space is clean, your soul feels relaxed and you’re more apt to study than run away. An organized space will also save you from missing important deadlines and keep you from spending hours searching for your latest college assignment.

    7. Have fun. All work and no play not only makes Jack a dull boy, but when you don’t take the time to have a little fun, your work and study schedule can feel burdensome which can hurt your study habits and test scores.

Finally, take care of your health by making time for exercising, getting plenty of rest, and eating healthy foods.

Come back on Monday as we 4 tips for choosing the right college.
