Worst advice ever buddy!
Freshman year is the HARDEST for most people as they try to adjust to the college style of doing their work. Screwing around freshman year is a good way to lose any scholarships you have right away, get behind in your classes, screw your GPA and overall lower your standards.
WORK YOUR ASS OFF YOUR FRESHMAN YEAR. After you get your first report card, your grades are good, then let up if and when you want to.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you are paying the instructors to teach you. If you are not learning things and getting bad grades, then it's because you are not making them do their job. Talk to them before, during, and after class if you need help. Schedule and appointment or visit them during office hours. They are there to teach you. Without you, having them there is WORTHLESS to the school.
Also, make sure you find some time to let loose and enjoy yourself, but make sure you don't do it when you need to study for a test.

-Do your homework, even the optional stuff.
-If you have a roommate, leave the speakers and home and bring headphones.
-If you're never in class, no one will let you borrow their notes.
-If you don't have a vehicle, make friends with someone who does, especially one with a truck.
-Wear flip-flops in the shower and don't touch the walls.
-Don't be noisy in the hallway
-If you don't have a job, don't complain about not having enough time for class.

Spend a quarter abroad. I didn't get a chance to do that and now I really regret it. Also, get an internship/job to gain work experience and if you are going to join any organizations, do so in the beginning of your college years so that you would meet new people and make the best out of your involvement since you're still full of energy.
Save the latter years to study for grad tests (mcat, lsat, etc) or like I said to go abroad.
Good luck =)

The best advice I could give you is to stay on campus to do your homework and studying. It is easy to get distracted during the first years.. hell it has been easy to get distracted for all of my college years actually. I found that if I stay on campus I will get things done without my parents/friends/other bothering me.

REMEMBER EVERYONE IS AS NERVOUS AS YOU ARE!
Yeah leave your door open if you live in the dorms, don't be a hermit.... Meet as many people as you can, if your living at home.. live in the dorms for at least a year, its worth it just for the experience.. freshman year is breeze... have as much fun as you can because it only gets harder after that.... I agree with HN.. leave the computer, and go outside.. girls are outside...

But unfortunately, it's likely to be the key to failure in your career.
Over the years I've hired three people with very good college grades who, it quickly became obvious, had never written anything on their own. Their work assignments weren't things they could cut/paste from some web site, and their lack of ability was glaring.
I don't know what they are doing now, but they don't work here any more.
