Don’t be afraid to ask for an extension.
Don’t ask for too many extensions.
Get off campus to eat. Not only on weekends, but lunches and quick dinners during the week.
You won’t need a car freshman year, but having one as a senior makes life a lot easier.
Take time deciding on your major. You have till the end of sophomore year for a reason.
Travel abroad, at least for one semester. If you can’t go abroad for a semester, go over the summer.

Make time to get to know professors, even if it’s just visiting for a few minutes a week.
Take time to chill. Life is hectic here; you have to relax.
