Congrats on going to college. It is perfectly normal to be a little frightened at so much new stuff, but after the first little bit when you have made some friends and become a little more familiar with things, you will find that it is really not all that different from high school...
Biggest thing I can suggest to you is go to class, always! Those sop classes, yeah they are probably boring, but guess what, getting good grades in those can carry you later on if you have a rough semester of it...That is one of the biggest mistakes I made, over 275 absenses a semester for the first year and a half. Yeah I made it through the classes, but only coasted with mediocre to crappy grades and it is a hell of alot harder to pull them up with your junior/senior classes than it is to just do good from the beginning! And while you are there, don't forget to have fun, yeah school is important, but so are establishing good friends and learning to live a little on your own (and no, having fun and getting good grades isn't mutually exlusive, you just have to have a little responsibility and know your limits)!
Good luck and enjoy,

There is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action. Reaction. Cause and effect...There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the 'why'. 'Why' is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.
