LEARNING ISN'T EASY, BUT IT PAYS
 You are now in business for yourself-the important business of getting
a college education. Many of you are on your own for the first time, with
neither a first sergeant nor a parent to prod your daily effort. Whether you
emerge fom this new enterprise with scholastic honor or in mental bankruptcy
will depend on you alone, in the last analysis.
 Because the business of securing a college education does demand some
adjustments and new habits, here are some helpful suggestions designed to
help you in improving your study habits and in making a better adjustment
to your new environment.
 Plan your work. Here at the University of Florida, with its ever-active
student body, there is a countless variety of "Things to do". Therefore you
will need to budget your time more carefully than you have ever done before.
Make a reasonable schedule and stick to it. Allow time for study, classes, and
leisure or outside interests.
 Having a main objective is necessary. Plan your courses to fit your abilities
and your objective. Learning requires effort. Get started right and keep on
going. Do your work on time and attend class regularly, and you'll find it
much easier than cramming at the last minute, to find that at the exam you're
only confused.
 Watch your health. Good health, both physical and mental is necessary if
you are to get the most out of your academic endeavors. Regularity in eating,
sleeping, and personal habits is something to strive for.
Graduation is but around the corner from Orientation Week-use the interval well, for
 study and diligence will return great dividends in later years.
