Trying to survive your freshman year in college? Here’s some advice on studying from the book “How to Survive Your Freshman Year” (Hundreds of Heads Books, www.hundredsofheads.com, $12.95), straight from people who’ve done it:

“I study at night when it’s quieter; 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Then I sleep all day. My roommate studies then, too. It’s hard to find people you get along with who have the same patterns of sleep.”

—Walter, University Of Maryland College Park, Sophomore

“If you get a B or a C, don’t worry. When you’re going into the job world after graduating, there’s no company that’s going to say, ‘Well, you didn’t do well in Western Civilization.’”

—Rhiannon Gulick, Georgetown University, Senior

“I study about three or four hours every night. For tests, you really can’t cram it in, but I do about six hours before tests.”

—R.J., University Of Delaware, Sophomore

“For all-nighters, I get a liter of Diet Coke. I’ve heard of some people who snort Ritalin and Coke. But I wouldn’t recommend it. I haven’t done that.”

—Anonymous, Yale University, Sophomore

“Don’t take on too much at once. You can handle a lot, but it’s better to not jump into everything and suddenly realize you can’t handle it all.”

Hundreds of Heads Books’ survival guides offer the wisdom of the masses by assembling the experiences and advice of hundreds of people who have gone through life’s biggest challenges and have insight to share.
