My name is Daisy Tenezaca, I am 19 years old and a freshman in college, but also a teen mom.This whole new technology on openlab has been a little difficult to understand and function. Also ten tips on being successful on online college would be having your schedule organized, notes organized, have your homework reminders on always, have wifi or internet, the supplies you need for each class, be dedicated, be responsible, be on time, be willing to learn and be determined. It wouldn’t be easy, but we have to keep learning.
