<p>I’d say to just stay focused and to not lose sight of your goal.</p>
<p>Calculus is a lot easier than it sounds. If you study adequately and take advantage of the resources afforded to you (tutoring, office hours, ze internet), As are definitely feasible.</p>
<p>Find something in which to engage yourself outside of school about which you are passionate or at least will fill up your free time. I was employed throughout all of my first year of CC and through the summer after. It got really hard in the fall when work took up every one of my weekends, but I managed to get through it without my letter grades dropping. The money was nice, too. </p>
<p>But still remember that academics are your top priority, and never sacrifice your grades for work/extracurriculars unless you really, really have to do it (i.e. tricky financial situations).</p>
