Master these early on in your business classes and you'll be well on your way to acing the rest of your business degree:
Learn to read effectively. Skim the less important parts and spend more time on key concepts.
Learn memory tricks. First year classes teach you the base "language" for later courses. Memory tricks help to learn all those textbook definitions.
Learn to write well. Get used to extracting and analyzing information, and summarizing it succinctly. Take advantage of any study courses in university writing that your school may offer.
Learn to appreciate teamwork and sharpen your interpersonal and conflict resolution skills. Working with irritating people won't be a thing of the past once you graduate. The people skills you develop from all your group projects will serve you well in the work world.
