At the close my my first semester back at school, aside from the applicable subject matter, I have learned quite a few random tidbits:
1) Scheduling is key - when juggling work, school, and home responsibilities, you have to make a schedule, and you have to stick to it... down to the hour. When it is followed, you actually end up with some free time now and then!
2) Rosanne is on at the most appropriate time ever for my schedule: 4pm. Yes!
3) Art classes are much more labor intensive that you might think.
4) Math classes should never, under any circumstances, be taken online.
5) Science teachers are right - it's easier to do a lab report the day you did the lab rather than a week later when the report is due.
6) Breakfast must be portable.
7) Weekends are not free time, they are the extra hours that you lost by sleeping during the week.
8) College students are so much younger than I remember.
9) Missing only 1 class can greatly affect your chance of getting an A - the missed information snowballs and eventually buries you if you don't catch it right away.
10) It really DOES matter whether you get a C or an A - it's not just to get your diploma, it is the basis for all of your future academic opportunities... or lack there of.
