Glorious Freedom

One of the many nice aspects of going to university is all the freedom you will have. No rules to follow, no detention if you don’t go to classes, no parents who whine about cleaning your room and so on. Great and all, but self-control is an essential skill.

It’s ok to skip a lecture every once in a while, but remember that you’ll have to study sooner or later. And once you’ve missed a few, it’s easy to justify not visiting lectures at all.

Same goes for going out. There will probably be parties every night, one even more awesome than the other. You have to set up some rules for yourself, for example only going out on Friday. This prevents you from being hung-over on lecture days, it’ll teach you self-control, you’ll save money and your liver will be thankful.

Oh and don’t forget to clean your room every once in a while. We know you mastered the art of stacking dirty dishes by now, but it’s not appealing to guests and you don’t want to breed unknown animal species in your kitchen sink.
