This is essential. The most important thing to do first year is NOT to lose your discipline.
A LOT of people flunk out freshman year because they stay up late partying/playing video games, then sleep in the next day and miss all their classes.
Freshman year I was in the dorms and fell victim to this problem, as did my roomate. My roomate flunked out completely at the end of the year, and I came EXTREMELY close to flunking out as well but managed to save myself just in time. But because of my freshman year gpa, even though I now earn grades in the 3.4 area, my cumalative gpa is only about 2.6
.
So yes, make friends and join some clubs if possible, but going to class and studying is the most important thing.
