Freshman Year, Here I Come!!

*WARNING*
GET READY TO READ THE MOST RANDOM THINGS, I'M TYPING WHAT COMES TO MY MIND WITHOUT AN SPECIFIC ORDER

Hey everyone!!
So I know this is off-topic, but I felt I needed to share this with you!

First of all, I'd like to explain how the school works here...

We normally do 3 years of kindergarten, 6 of elementary, 3 of junior high, and 3 of high school... So even though we do less years of high school, we still go from the 1st to the 12th grade)... Then you go to university, but you go directly to where you want to (law, medical, engineering, etc) and most of the colleges offer 9 semester programs, but some programs are 10 semesters (for example, in my school the Architecture program is 10 semesters long)...

With that being said.....


So, this year I'll be a freshman in college... I'll be studying Chemical Engineering and Business Administration, so I know the next 9 semesters everything will be hard...

Why I chose this?
I don't really know, I guess it was because I tried to do the opposite of what my parents told me I could do; please don't get me wrong, I don't always do the opposite, but I felt that what my parents wanted me to be wasn't what I felt like doing (they wanted me to do things that I could do in my house, like an accountant or something like that), bur I've always loved 3 things: beauty (duhh!), helping others, and science... I really enjoyed my physics, chemistry and calculus classes and I felt like those were the things that I wanted to do for living (now I have 2 dreamed jobs: working in a cosmetic company creating different products, and the other is working in a pharmaceutic company creating the best medicines)...

Why I'm nervous?
I'm going to a big school... I used to live in a small town and my school always had a small population, then when I got into high school I went to a "big" campus (that's what I thought), and the entire school population was of 400 people, then on my Senior year I was transfered to a new school where the population was bigger (about 1,000 people), but now I'm going to a school where students from all around the world come and the approximate population is of 16,000 people!! I feel like I'll get lost in such a big campus!
I'm also nervous because I know nothing will be similar to high school... People always told me that the best stage of their lives has been high school and until now this has been completely true! (So, if you are still in high school ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!), I know many of my friends will still be around, but there are many others that are going to different schools or even in the same school but to a different section (like literature, or law school, medical school, etc)

I'm afraid that I won't be good enough for this, but I know that I have to give 300% of me to achieve my goals!

So, if you have tips for the freshman year, please share them here!!
