My second piece of advice is simple: do everything you can to avoid taking morning classes.
First off, what is considered a morning class? In my opinion, anything before 10:00 a.m.
Whether it's procrastinating by watching YouTube videos with friends or cramming for an exam, going to bed before midnight is considered an early night. As the words in your textbook start blurring and you chug your fifth cup of coffee, you will regret taking a class that early. Especially on Fridays after staying out late at Willy's Pub the night before.
Unfortunately, for some majors, it is inevitable that you will have to take a 9:00 a.m. class, or even worse, an 8:00 a.m. class. In this case, a viable option is to take the class, but just sleep through it every time, getting the notes from one of your dependable friends. It's up to you.
I couldn't agree with this one more. I always avoided morning classes when I was in school, and only schedule afternoon classes now that I teach.
