Hi, I’m Randall. You know there are several things you can do to make your life more enjoyable at a university or college.

First of all, don’t panic if you haven’t decided on a college major day one. Sometimes by taking a couple of classes, it will help you focus and know what you want to do in the future.

The other thing is balance your social life and your educational experience, too. In other words, yes, making friends is fun, but don’t let it overshadow your school work either.
