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. -- Posted by chicka2011 at 11:52 am on July 23, 2008 practice writing essays -- Posted by yoghamp at 11:52 am on July 23, 2008 Quote: from jonny5 at 11:46 am on July 23, 2008 Quote: from yoghamp at 2:42 pm on July 23, 2008 k so i know its a little late for this cus summer is almost over, but nevermind that.    what sort of stuff can you do the summer before starting freshman year in college?    i was talking to my friend and he said i should go and read a lot more this summer like hard books and newspapers and stuff just so i can get used to the material.    what other stuff?

Also, if you know your major, get a head start on it. If it's Biology, read books about biology. -- Posted by HatesYou at 5:49 pm on July 26, 2008 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. -- Posted by soccastud07 at 3:46 pm on July 29, 2008 i havent done shit to prepare all ive done is party as much as i can before all my friends leave and before i leave
