10 Tuesday: Make College Life Better

Life usually doesn't fit into nice neat little lists, but that doesn't keep me from trying.  Welcome to 10 Tuesday where I try to fit the messiness of life into a list of ten.

College life is complicated, challenging, and awesome.  With school set to start back here this week--here are ten bits of advice from yours truly that will help make it better.

1. Rarely turn on your TV.
2. Make homework a priority.
3. Never procrastinate. Don't do it.
4. Throw away or delete all credit card solicitations instantly.
5. Don't spend a lot of time in your room, especially alone.
6. Join a campus organization. I can point you to a great one!
7. Develop deep relationships with a small number of people.
8. Learn how to effectively manage your time. If you have a lot of free time something is wrong.
9. Exercise often. Your heart will thank you twenty years.
10. Cultivate healthy a diet.  Your waistline will thank you now.
