Maybe you already understand this since you have a degree and lived through the college experience once before, but just in case you don’t:
Please actually try in college. Simply having a degree is next to meaningless in modern America. Everyone is going to college and as a result there’s a huge surplus of diplomas. It’s more important than ever to actually apply yourself and try to be the best student in your class. Not just grades either, but looking for extracurricular activities and leadership positions. Employers want to see that you have the qualities of a committed, motivated learner and aren’t another one of the millions of graduates who coasted through school doing nothing but the bare minimum. Plus it’s a good way to form lasting connections with your professors and peers that might help you secure a job further down the line.
I made the mistake of being one of the lazy students who did the bare minimum and I have nothing to show for my education but a slip of paper. I doubt anybody from my class remembers me, and certainly none of my professors do. If I could go back in time I’d try as hard as I possibly could, but I realized the importance of that too late.
