Honestly? Take things seriously, but not too seriously. Get good grades but do not worry about pulling a 99 in all your classes. hunter1985 has it right: Do the least amount of work for the best grade possible and figure out which classes you can slack off in. Don’t do homework if it’s not going to be checked and you know the material-- spend your time elsewhere.
Also, don’t slack off freshman year. A lot of my senior friends have been constantly griping about how they wish they’d done better-- they figured that freshman year “didn’t count”. It does (in most cases- some colleges drop freshman grades, but there’s still class rank).
Bottom line: Don’t stress more than you absolutely have to and have some fun.
