Since I went through all this, and discovered some efficient tactics for college life management, I can tell you that it’s not too difficult to find a good balance. So, without any further delay, here are the 10 things that will come in handy during your college years. 1. Recording device Alright, it appears that you are not allowed to record lectures, and some professors might have an issue with it, so make sure they don’t know you have a recording device....

1. Sarcastic people are quick-witted. Well, maybe just quicker than our targets. We immediately see the irony in a situation, and will be quick to point it out, even if we know no one else will have the slightest clue what we’re talking about. It’s kind of sadistic, but using sarcasm gives us a sense of empowerment, since we can gauge other people’s thought process based on whether or not they understood our quick jab....

Check out 10 funny things you learn growing up as the eldest sibling. 1. You were raised with strict rules.

Your parents had relaxed by the time your siblings came along, so their youth was much easier....

Clean your print head once per month. Remove the cartridge and clean the head with a little warm water. Don’t use alcohol or tissues. After the head is COMPLETELY dry, pop the cartridge in and out a few times to assure a good connection. Use the printer several times a week. If you don’t use it, the ink dries up and the heads clog. Do a full color print at least once per week....

1. You’re alike There has to be some similarities whether it be love of coffee, politics, literature, movies, or even people watching. There just has to be a common ground.

However, what they don’t know is that we share a mutual likeness for watching Korean dramas and gory films and then talking about it later over coffee....

1. Successfully take notes for a difficult class I am sure you all have heard this saying before: in order to pass a class, you must take good notes. When you arrive at your college class, ditch some of your High School note-taking techniques. Write your notes legibility and in ways that YOU can comprehend. Sometimes, writing a simple diagram in your notes can help you study for that mid-term later on....

1. We need to tell ourselves to get over ourselves. We need to remind ourselves that it’s not about us. So I suggest you tell yourself, out loud and in the mirror, to get over yourself – over and over. Put a post-it note on your computer at work or leave a reminder on your phone. Just remember, it’s not about you. The more we can remember that, the easier life is....

If you’re looking for a walking (well . . . ticking) contradiction, time fits the bill. It’s our most precious resource—and our biggest nemesis.

1. “Stop being so negative!” People with anxiety wish they could stop focusing on the possibility of bad things happening, but they can’t. Their minds are full of what-if scenarios, and will unwittingly latch on to the worst-case outcomes as if they’re 100% guaranteed. For people with anxiety, pessimism and realism are one in the same. 2. “You just like being miserable.” We’ve all heard people say “you’re just not happy unless you have something to complain about,” but to a person with anxiety, this simply isn’t the case....

1. Do your research I can’t stress enough how important it is to do your research.
