I asked a few Twentysomethings this question: If you could re-live your freshman year in college, what would you do different?

The individuals I asked are all in their 20’s. They are married and support themselves financially. Some of them are already parents

Here are the top five “College freshman year do-overs.”

• I would focus on my basics. Get the basics out of the way. I can take classes I really like later.

• I would focus on getting straight 100s in all my classes.   Grades are important for academic advancement.

• I would get a job that could offer me real world professional experience.

• I would save, save, save. Living at home is one way to save $$.

• I would develop personal relationships that could lead to professional relationships. I would also look for a mentor in my field of interest.

(Here’s #6. It’s an added bonus)

• Forget a B.A. Get a B.S. applicable in the Oil Industry.
