College Redditors, what's the one high school habit each incoming freshman needs to stop doing on their first day of college?

I'll start. No longer are you required to raise your hand and ask to use the restroom. Just get up and leave quietly.

Don't wear shirts with your high school name, graduation date, class motto, etc. If you sit in the front

row with the laptop, actually pay attention. Do not use Facebook, Reddit, or play Tetris. If you're

sick, you don't need a note from your parents. Don't eat loud food in class. Please, please, please,

please follow this one. Don't talk loudly in class. People are there to learn.

Keep your high school GPA, sports accomplishments, SAT slash ACT scores, and awards to yourself.

No one cares. Oh, you were in an AP class? No one cares. You were popular in high school? No one cares.

You were a nerd in high school? No one cares. You were a nerd in high school,

no one cares. You think your professor is a jerkwad? No one cares. You were prom king? No one cares.

In essence, don't take yourself too seriously. Approach college with a sense of humbleness.

Don't boast too much about your old self in high

school. For the record, when they say no one cares, they don't mean that none of that matters or is worth

nothing. It just means that it's not going to affect the friends you make or the activities you

participate in. For me, at least, college was a time where I really started to come out of my shell.

High school doesn't matter anymore, despite all my dreams taking place there.

Your life isn't over if you walk into class late. Just calmly go in and take a seat. You'll be

fine. Yes, it will be on the test.

After a test, you don't have to stick around.

Pack your stuff up and leave quietly.

If you're struggling, don't wait to get help.

Seriously, if your school is halfway decent, there's at least one other resource outside of your professor that you can consult for tutoring.
