my biggest piece of advice is to get off of SDN for a while and actually ENJOY college. make friends, have fun, all that stuff. dont be a toolbox and sit on your computer all day when you are not studying patiently waiting for the next SDN post. SDN is addictive, dont get me wrong, but its got its limits. Its the facebook of hyper-competitive gunner pre-meds. dont be one of those. manage your time, study a bit, join some clubs (go greek if thats your thing), but remember to leave your dorm and have fun. you are in your youth, dont let that get by you. remember to stay healthy...avoid late night mcdonalds and try to work out or run regularly. thats my 2 cents.
