Hey guys I'm a graduating senior who'll be going off to college next fall and I'm planning to study physics and philosophy as double majors. I'm really not sure how I'm going to handle college being that I've generally put of my work as a high school student and have poor time management skills. I also have very big problems focusing; I often find my mind drifting into other not so relevant things when time is running out for some important things (I think that other revlefters can empathize with this being that we have to think about the world's problems and so on). I actually got into the college of my choice and my parents said that I could attend but that I had to work hard and get as many scholarships/research opportunities as I can because well college is expensive. I might also get a job. So I'm truly wondering can my comrades give me some advice.

What classes should I take? Should I skip out of any classes? How involved should I get in the campus life? What should I do to deal with my problems? Study in the library, try to change it somehow. How should I handle a double major?

Regarding the money side of things. Is there someway that I can save on housing/food. Any advice on this kind of stuff/ scholarship collection.

Don't drink too much. It sounds stupid but it's true.

This is something I was also worried about but I wasn't sure I should post about it. I'm not sure how often I should be partying. I would like to meet new people because I don't really have many friends going away for college in the city where I'm going but I don't want the drinking lifestyle to take over as things change when I'm not at home and am instead at college.

In college I used to basically just spend the whole weekend drunk. I won't pretend like it was all terrible and I didn't have some good laffs, but my classmates who were like going out to explore the city and see cool bands at cool clubs or do cultural things or extracurriculars and whatever ended up having a much better time than me and my lame alky friends did.
