College tips

I haven't posted in a long time! I mainly vlog on YouTube, but I don't do that very much either anymore. I started college and, though I am only taking four credit hours, I am not doing very well. I have plans to fix the mess I've made. If you are in my situation, here are some of my tips for you:

1. For every hour you are in class, study for two hours (per week). I thought this was an overstatement, but this is absolutely necessary! If you're not willing to do  most of your work outside of class, either reprioritize or drop out of school!
2. Get a job. This will help you pay for school and studies show that, to an extent, students with jobs earned better grades than those without them. I think this is because it reduces their free time and causes them to resist the urge to procastinate and get studying because they know they have limited time on their hands. However, school should be your top priority,
3. If possible, live on campus. I do not live on campus and I think this would reduce my free time if I were a full time student with a job. I have to drive about 45 minutes to school and 45 minutes back. This is 6 hours per week I could be studying. That lowers about two hours a day (not quite) of studying. This will also allow you to make new friends and learn responsibility.
4. Take all the effort you can to cite your work. If you plagarize, whether intentional or not, you can get a 0% on a paper (which will usually make the class impossible to pass.) You may also be suspended or expelled for this. DON'T PLAGARIZE!!!!!!!!!!
