Doesn't matter how big a stud you were in HS, if you're on a decent college team you're not going to be expected to be a big contributor as a frosh. Just keep your mouth shut, pay attention, *don't* try to "win" the practices, and go with the flow.
A lot of frosh, now that they're not at home, have a tendency to "kick over the traces" and do stuff they wouldn't have done with Mom and Dad around. You can probably adjust to college quickest just by making up your mind that you'll go to be "today" (i.e. before midnight) every day--that by itself will smooth the path.
going to bed before midnight?? you serious? did you study education/physical therapy or wake up before 5am everyday. if not how did you get anything done?
Time management (which the realities of running helped with), and deciding what was important to me. Over my undergrad years my GPAs for each marking period varied from 1.0 to 4.0. When I was at 4.0, I went to bed "today" every day; at 1.0, I rarely did.
With the higher GPAs I was also running 70+ mpw (with some doubles), and went to more parties. (Didn't get drunk, though--does anyone "need" to?) But I also studied during the free hours between classes, and some on the weekends. I didn't stay up past midnight, because I never had to.
And to answer your questions: I generally got up between 7am and 8 (partly depending on morning run, or not). And I had physics and linguistics majors.
