Entering college can be very overwhelming for some. Fitting in, succeeding academically, taking care of yourself and countless other obstacles make the first few weeks of college very emotionally strenuous. Here are some mental tips to remember as you get closer and closer to your first day.
1. Be confidant in who you are. Look in the mirror and know what you want, and do what you want. Don't let other people have an impact on your goals in life. Don't let one person put the slightest amount of discouragement in your head about who you are.

priorities. You want to be able to determine what in your life is important. Always remember you are in school for your education and to take a thing or two away from the academic world, and translate that in to your life once you are working. Partying should not come between your academics.
4. Make a name for yourself. Think about what you want to accomplish in life and how you want college to help get you there. This can be as simple as maintaining the grades to be accepted into medical school or being acknowledged as an up and coming Comedian.
