Honestly? Keep it simple. The very first semester take only 12 hours . Having success in that semester will determine a lot of your college experience. Success is contagious and addicting. You will want more of it and will do anything to get it, including study, go to class, and take F'ing meticulous outline form notes.
Then dont ruin things by looking ahead. As a college student you can only deal with life week by week. Dont worry about what all has to be done for the course, and only worry about what needs to be done for that class that day. No month at a glance nonsense.
Make sure you butt is always in class , taking notes, and listening very closely to lectures. Plan an hour break before classes or labs that are notorious for having quizzes and go cram in the library . Take labs in the afternoons, save mornings for lectures when your mind needs to be its sharpest.
