From my experience if you want to stand out academically, the biggest thing is time management. That means spending time on every class every day (not just the days they meet), and finding whatever way works best for you to learn the material.

You mentioned not liking to ask for help and preferring to figure it out yourself. That’s generally one of the best ways to learn, but it’s also time-consuming, and in college you may not have the time. Try to find or create study groups with like-minded students so you can review together what was said in class. With other students asking you questions, you’ll find it easier to ask others.

And don’t cheat in college. The #1 reason for cheating in college is not having enough time to do it the right way (or simply not wanting to spend the time). Cheating at a LAC can get you quickly expelled.
