But I'm needing some help...

So I've been posting on and off on here for several years now and have been so busy with the social and studying life of a freshmen in college that I've been too busy to keep up with many posts...

I'm in my first semester at Texas A&M right now as a freshmen and things are a little more difficult than I had anticipated...

What I'm wanting to know from all of you upper-classmen is that when you were a freshmen in college, how well did yall do?
And even furthermore, for you more experienced guys and gals, how much do Med school admissions offices look into your Freshmen year...?

I'm doing sub-par right now with probably around a 3.0... And that's a B in biology, B in History, A in English and a C in this poe-dunk study learning class... I'm a dumb ass and didn't get involved with any clubs this semester either, just the unofficial keg-stand and beer pong ones lol...

And advice for those of you who had lots of fun while you were in college?

I had a 3.7 at the end of my freshman year. It takes a lot more studying to get A's than B's. At least, that's what I've found. To get an A in some classes you have to be "All in." And sometimes, I liked to have a life instead of studying. That's why I made a couple of B's. "No thanks anatomy, I'd rather go party..HA!" You'll get the hang of it.

I don't know about your study habits in high school, but mine were almost nonexistent. There's a simple way to move past that. ***IMPORTANT*** Study for an hour after each of your lectures. Just take an hour to read through, and get a grasp of the concept in your notes for that day. If you'll do this, it will help you see the "big picture," and you'll end up doing much better.

Now that midterms are over, if you want to get a 3.5+, it's time to work your hinny off. I would always ask myself: "Just how bad do you want to go to medical school?" and I would immediately start studying, it would always get me motivated.

Also, if you'll work your "@55" off in the first 4 weeks of the semester, and have high A's in all of your classes, it's a lot easier to maintain A's. Even if you slack off. That's what I have started doing, and it looks like if I maintain my current momentum (not very much studying), I'll be able to drop 2 of my finals(Spanish I & Physics II)...and these aren't classes that drop the lowest grade or anything. I just have so many points in those, that I can loose the 100points on the final, without losing my A for the course. College is a numbers game, once you get it figured out, you're good to go.

Oh yeah, next semester, join at least 2 clubs and start volunteering 4-5hours per week at a local hospital. It doesn't take up that much of your time. Just sign up, buck up, and do it!

Good luck with the rest of your college career.

Advice:

This was about the schedule I followed during semesters when I wasn't an in-season athlete.

Weekday schedule:
-Class
-Lunch
-Lab
-Dinner
-2.5 hrs Study, except Fridays. No work is to be done on Friday afternoons ever...ever
-Booze/Party

Rinse and Repeat... always repeat

Saturday Schedule:
-Return to house from hot coed's room
-Brunch
-recount previous evenings activities
-128 oz of Gatorade and College Football
-Booze/Party

Sunday Schedule:
-Return to house from a different hotter coed's room
-Brunch
-Library/Study
-Dinner
-Relax and Recuperate... Prepare to restart Weekday schedule again.


... and remember, never type the "word" y'all

"yall" is a perfectly acceptable term. the fact that you're from Texas is slightly less acceptable.🙄

We totally kicked your *** in football. 😛

That is great advice, I just finished all of my tests this past week so I can't start that studying after the lectures till next week...

I might have around a 3.0 when this semester ends, but plan to recover next semester with the help of a little experience and competence going into next semester...

Oh and as far as kicking our ***, honestly, who doesnt?!?!

Wait till basketball season 🙂
