It is possible that during your job you not only work with engineers
but also with other peoples such as workers, accountants.
It is highly essential for you to get along with all which actually help
you to gain success.

Maintain your exercise routine. It will help you towards sleep, stay alert
during those long afternoon classes, you will feel more active and fresh.
Sleep well. It will help you to regain your strength. At least sleep 7-8
hours per day and night sleep is far more relaxing than a day nap.

The Classroom
The common problem is that the bright high school students, are often
just average in the college population. Some students adjust to this rally,
however some dont know how to proceed.
Do not apply the high school learning habit to college life. They wont
be enough to achieve success. You should generate new and improved
learning strategies.
Professors expect adult behavior from your side. eg. You should submit
homework on time, should attend exams, etc.
Get to know your professors better. Use the office hours provided to get
more information about the class. You may find their research
interesting and can push you to pursue further higher education such as
masters and PhD.
