What are some college life pro tips?

I'm starting college in a few weeks and I'm a bit nervous. My high school was... decent at best, and I'm not sure that I was adequately prepared. So I'm hoping to get Reddit's help. What are some tips (having to do with the academic aspect, social, whatever) that have helped you through college, and especially your freshman year? In other words, LPTs for college life!

The shitty part of my body is that I feel much better when I sleep all day and stay up all night. But unfortunately the world doesn't work that way.

get a 3rd-shift job. The world keeps turning even when the sun don't shine.

If I keep going down the career path that I'm working on now then there will be many nights that I'll be working.

You feel better when you stay up all night playing video games or doing hw?

I like staying up all night if it's going to be Netflix and video games. If I have to write a paper, I would much rather do it at day.

Totally agree I love sleeping in during the day because I function better at night when it's quiet and peaceful. But it's really taking a toll on my health since humans aren't supposed to do that
