Theme: Wait till the first class
August 25, 2007Classes start for most people on Monday. Here’s just a gentle reminder from a seasoned college student. DO NOT OPEN the plastic wrap on your books until your teacher tells you that you will in fact use all the texts. I have had classes where the prof said we didn’t need that particular edition or one of the texts inside. If you open the plastic wrap the book store cannot give you full credit back.
Keep your receipts for your books. Do this, not only because you might need to return them, but you need to keep track of how much you spend on books for your tax records. You and your parents will be grateful for those receipts when April 15th rolls around.
On your first day make sure that you purchase a pack of scantrons. Keep these close at hand for all those pop quizzes and exams. Many times I have been so stressed out studying for an exam I forgot to purchase the very paper I needed to complete it on.
Good luck in the coming year from DormEarning.com
