<p>Here’s a tip. Get with the group of students going to the library every night after dinner in your dorm. Just make it a routine part of your college experience. You aren’t the first college student who will procrastinate if you try to study in your dorm room. I honestly think that is the number one tip for getting on schedule in college. If you go in a group, your buddies will make the rounds every hour or so and wake up anyone who has fallen asleep reading and is drooling on the arm!</p>
<p>Again, I don’t expect your classes at Swarthmore to be anything like what you have experienced in high school.</p>
<p>I’m all for your parents setting expectations. I’m all for addressing issues that need to be addressed. But, I also know that sometimes families go into collectitve “freak out” mode about going off to college and the fear of the great unknown. I don’t want you guys to get all tied in knots with negative energy over an adventure than is most likely to be exhiliarating for you.</p>
