Being a college freshman can be quite difficult.  As a college freshman, not only do you have to deal with senior bullies, but you'll also have to deal with meeting new people and keeping up with your studies.  Some people find it hard to deal with the culture shock and the many adjustments that college entails, while others love the changes.  If you are having difficulty adjusting to the college life as a freshman, then continue reading.  This article will provide
five great tips for making a smooth adjustment to college life.

Take responsibility for your new-found freedom

One of the greatest things about college is that you will probably have more freedom.  No longer do you have to wake up and be in school by 7:30 in the morning, but you can take afternoon classes, night classes, long breaks, and you'll probably also have the freedom to cut your classes without much consequence.  It's important to realize, though, that these freedoms come at the cost of responsibility.  Be responsible about the decisions you make so that you
can balance your academic, social, financial, and career life.

Take it upon yourself to be self-sufficient

If you go to a college far from home, chances are that you will be away from your parents and your other relatives.  This is your chance to show that you can be self-sufficient, that you don't need to depend so much on others, and that you can handle your own in "the real world."  You may have to pay bills, do groceries, cook, clean, and run errands all on your own, so be prepared to be self-sufficient.

Take your studies seriously

Now that you are in college, everything is likely to be more challenging.  Longer essays and papers, harder exams, and tougher teachers are just part of the academic hurdles that you will have to overcome.  Make sure to take your studies seriously by making study schedules, managing your time effectively, taking good notes, and completing all of your assignments.  Remember, now more than ever, your grades are going to have an impact on your future.

Take control of your finances

Part of being responsible and self-sufficient is to take control of your finances.  It's important to realize, though, that many college sudents amass large debts from credit card bills, financial aid loans, and mismanagement of their funds.  Take control of your finances and manage them carefully to ensure that you will be able to pay off all of your debts and build a positive credit report.

Take a rest

Amongst all of the hard work and difficulties that students face in college, some people tend to forget to rest.  Rest is extremely important if you want to be successful in college and in anything that you do.  It is rest that will give you the energy to take on the challenges of everyday life.  When things seem to be piling up and you're getting overwhelmed, try to take a break and have some rest time for yourself.

给那些处于艰难适应期的大学新生的几个小贴士

做一个大学新生会很困难。作为一名大学新生，你不仅要面对那些欺凌弱小者，还要处理认识新同学和跟上学业的问题。在一些人发现很难应对文化冲击和做出一些进入大学必须要做的调整的同时，其他人却喜欢这些改变。如果你现在是个新生，又处于一个艰难的大学生活适应期，那么请继续阅读。本文将给出五个好建议，以使你平稳适应大学生活。
对你新发现的自由负责
大学的最大好处之一就是你将很可能拥有更大的自由。你不再必须早上起床然后在七点半之前到学校，你可以在下午上课，在晚上上课，休息很长时间，而且你也很可能拥有不上一些没什么太大价值的课的自由。但是意识到这一点很重要，即拥有这些自由也就必须承担责任。为你做出的决定负责，以便能平衡你的学业、社交、财政和职业生活。
学会自立
如果你要去的大学离家很远，你将会有机会远离父母和其他亲人。这是你显示你能自立的机会，也就是说你可以不用太过依赖他人，并且能够在现实世界中自己处理自己的问题。你也许必须自己付账单、买食品杂货、做饭、打扫房间，自己跑腿儿，所以准备好自立吧。
认真对待你的学业
现在你是在大学里，一切都可能更具有挑战性。更长的文章和论文，更难的考试，更严格的老师，而这些只不过是你将必须要克服的学术障碍的一部分而已。要确保你能严肃认真对待学业，你就必须做学习计划，有效安排你的时间，做好笔记，并且完成所有作业。记住，你现在的学习成绩比以往任何时候都能影响你的未来。
控制你的财政状况
承担责任和自立的一部分就是控制你的财政状况。认识到这一点很重要，即很多大学生通过信用卡账单、财政援助贷款以及对自己资金账户的错误管理积聚了巨额的债务。控制你的资金，小心管理它们以保证你将来能够还清所有债务并建立一个良好的信用记录。
休息一下
沉浸在学生们在大学里面对的所有艰难工作和困难之中，有些人往往会忘记休息。如果你想在大学里和任何你做的事上都取得成功，那么休息对于你来说就是十分重要的。休息会给你承担每日生活中的挑战的能量。当事情看起来快要堆积如山而你又将要被压倒时，试着休息一下，让自己放松放松吧。
