8 Tips to Get a 4.0 Your First Semester in College
1. Master the art of syllabus week. On the first day of class, sit close to the front. The front is where most students sit if they are either smart or looking for the smart people. Most likely, the ones looking out for those smart people are interested in studying hard and receiving that A. Make small talk with those around you. Ask questions like "where are you from?" "what's you major?" "are you a commuter or live on campus?" Really, ask anything that can spark conversation. Keep that going until class starts. Let it be obvious you are there to learn, focus on the professor, take short notes, and don't continue small talk. Once the class is over, ask for their phone number in case you ever need to ask a question. Most of the time, the person feels comfortable enough to share and will put their name in your phone as "Bob (Chemistry)" or "Mary (Calc)." If you can successfully get new people's phone numbers to ask questions and form a relationship, you will be more likely to get better grades, have a study partner, and be in communication with someone who also cares about the progress of the class.

What I've Learned About My Body: 2nd Day of Veganism (It Isn't Great)
I started my journey of veganism a few days ago, March 11 to be exact. Before I get into telling you about how my body is now, let me give you some background about what my body typically is like. I am an out-of-shape college student and I eat ramen and junk food basically everyday. My digestion system is terrible; I maybe use the bathroom (number two) three times a week. My skin is oily and acne prone however, I do drink a ton of water. Before I started eating plant-based, I typically ate meat and dairy every day and multiple times throughout the day. Breakfast usually consisted of a sugary cereal with cow milk, lunch would be fast food (Chick Fil A, Chipotle) and dinner was usually skipped due to my busy schedule and studying.
