FOR COLLEGE?
STEP 1 STEP 3
Attend an OAR Day. The best you can do is to keep Get ready to move! If you plan on living in the

part and you should be prepared for a lot of change.
Not only will you “finally” have some freedom, you will
also gain MUCH responsibility. No one will be waking
you up for school anymore and you will be doing your
own laundry! Here are some of the “little” things that
will help you be ready for your your next step in life.
Realize now, that to be successful at college (and in
life) you need to be focused on priorities. Be sure
to enjoy your college experience but don’t forget
this experience is costing you or your parents a good
chunk of change. Stay focused and don’t waste this
investment. Set your goals and find a social balance
that works best for you.
Get used to getting up early. Classes begin as early
as 8 a.m. and athletic practices begin as early as 5:30
a.m. Don’t spend your entire summer sleeping in.
Adjust your body’s internal clock to get up at a proper
time depending upon your schedule.
Determine how much sleep you need. It may be fun
and exciting to stay up all night, but lack of sleep can
affect your performance academically, physically and
emotionally.
Speak with your parents about finances. You may not
have a clear understanding of how much money you
will need at this point. Work together to prepare an
initial budget and discuss plans for traveling home on
breaks.
Learn a few things from home. You may or may not
have a lot of chores to do at home. Be ready to take
care of yourself before coming to Campus. Know how
to do laundry, cook meals, change a light bulb, clean
house, maintain a car, balance a checkbook, etc. If
there are things you want to learn about, ask!
