I wish for a pony.....

1.) What do you wish you would have known, or (about) or just information you wished you could have had.

2.) Did you do things the hard way unknowingly? To find out later, if you would have looked you could have circumnavigated a certain class or professor or such?

Professors change, can't really tell you much about that. If you want to go to medical school or any sort of graduate school, talk to counselors EARLY and get involved your freshman year.

**Certain classes at University of Washington**

OCHEM (Organic Chemistry)- Learn everything in the book. Every detail, every figure and you will do excellent. The professors arn't as useful.

Biology series- Make sure you listen very carefully in lecture. Almost everything you need to know comes out of the instructors mouth, the book is much more supplemental and to be used for reference. The biology, and biochem departments screencast so you can re-watch lectures. Better use of time to re-watch lectures and understand every detail the professor says verses spending time reading the book, but read it if it helps to clarify.

Calculus, Physics- Do LOTS of problems.

Anyclass- See if you can find practice tests, past tests, tests from friends, older people. They help a lot. General chemistry posts most tests from ten years back online for instance, search for every test your professor has given and take it before the test.

Have some sort of work out routine. Your body AND mind will thank you for it. Even a 20 min, run everyday will do wonders. You can stay much more focused.

Have fun! But when you need to do your shit. DO IT. There is always another party. Trust me :)
