TwinsFishy, it depends.

Me, I’m a really bad procrastinator. For real. I do homework and study last minute. But it works for me. Other kids start on homework the day it’s assigned. And that works for them.

The work for 37 is totally doable. It’s up to you and how you choose to manage your time. There are many students who take 16+ units their first quarter and they’re able to get good grades and join clubs/frats/sororities. Everybody’s different.

I wouldn’t say that first quarter is the only time to socialize. You can continue making friends throughout your stay in college. If you’re dorming, then you’ll be living with like 70 to 80 people so it’s not hard to make friends in your hall. But it does seem that after first quarter, everybody’s already established their own group of friends and they just all stick together after that.

In the end, it’s all up to you. I think it’s definitely possible to get good grades and hang out with friends. Just set your priorities straight. :)
