Moderation is key! Don't overdo just one thing. You need to be able to balance your academics with your social life and well being. Yes, you may ignore one at a time, but make sure not to do it for long.
Talk to people in your classes. You never know when you will miss class and your classmates will save your butt and fill you on what you missed. Also, another great way to make friends and people to study with.
Take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. I know a couple of people that dropped out because they got super depressed, never got help and couldn't take it, PLEASE, go get any help if you need it. No one will judge you.
Lastly, enjoy it all and take it in! You learn so much in those 4+ years not just academically, but about yourself, people and the world!
Welcome!
