    You should most certainly get involved in all that you can handle. Many irreplaceable life experiences and fond memories will be found in such things. Such things also help teach the value of giving back to the community.

    Here's my tip: the library is not for studying. It is a warm and comfrotable place to sleep, especially in lounges. Noon is perfect time to snooze.

    Extra-ciriculars? Job? I'm not that much of a go-getter; in fact, go-getters are frowned upon in general in Vancouver.

    A rule of thumb to remember is that homework in college is much different than in h.s. Until you get a good grasp on how long it will take you plan on spending 2 to 3 hours of homework per week for each 1 hour of class. So if you are taking 12 credit hours assume another 24 to 36 hours of studying. You might be smart and only need 2 hours or less or be a little slower and need more like 3....it also depends on the toughness of the class.

    So I'd start small and work up.
