Get It Right: Pitfalls To Avoid Your First Year Of College
The wrong friends
Chances are you will meet new friends within 5 minutes of arriving on campus. That’s awesome! But remember everyone who smiles at you isn’t really your friend. Surrounding yourself with the right people is crucial to a successful college career. If all of your new friends are flunking out, partying every night, or being tramps, the likelihood of your following in their footsteps is high. Your peer group can determine if you are a smashing success of a first year flunky. Choose wisely and don’t be afraid to break some ties if you find that the friends you made are counterproductive to the success you want to have.
