I've never been a drinker, but my friends in college told me I should start drinking to learn my limits and build a tolerance.
Reading is good, but I would suggest not only hard books, but relevant books. In fact, scratch that, any book will do, you just want to be at your peak going into college in terms of reading speed and comprehension.

no problem. Also, if you know your major, get a head start on it. If it's Biology, read books about biology.

Hmm. That's an awesome idea. I should probably read up on my major as well.

But instead i've chosen to make the most of my summer and work and party and shop. Which is quite pathetic. Reading this illustrated how much more productive i could've been this summer.

Anywho, i agree. You should def. read up on subjects you're interested in. But you should also try and relax.
Expect a shitload of work your freshmen year. You'll need to learn to adjust and you'll probably be fairly busy.

Whatever you choose to do, i'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck.
