At university: Sleep more than you study. Study more than you party. Party as much as you can.

  I've never seen this before, and very much like it. I went to college with the goal of "work hard, play hard", and I was exhausted!

  I've seen this before, and it's funny and decent advice. I got awful sleep most nights in college, just because I'd stay up too late, not even to get work done, just screwing around with YouTube and such. Sleep is huge. Take later classes if you can. You might think that toughing out an 8am class isn't too bad, but I've done this to myself three times (seriously didn't learn my lesson). The alternative is to go to bed earlier, which can work, but there's a lot of fun and friendship to be had at midnight on a Wednesday sometimes, that's what's so interesting about university. I involuntarily slept through a serious chunk of my Vietnam history course since it was 8am is a dark, cool room. Adjacent this that anecdote - figure out how to apply the 80/20 rule (paredo distribution) to school. Most things follow it, and school is no different. That Vietnam class I was barely conscious for? I learned how to read a book efficiently and got straight Bs on everything. For me, I was completely fine with Bs in a gen-ed class that didn't take much of my time. It let me put my effort towards my CS classes, where I really wanted to do well.
