By far, the most crucial skill you gain in college is your ability to communicate. Nothing will carry you as far in life as this, and a surprising number of people are lacking in this area. So take a few public speaking classes, but most importantly: work on developing your writing skills! Nothing is more important. Nothing. Unlike the formulas and dates you'll forget as soon as the exam is over, good writing skills will stay with you for life. And good writers are good thinkers: the better you get at writing, the more organized and creative your thought processes become.

In continuing our Surviving College series, we want to help you become the best writer possible. Not only will it guarantee a level of success in college and the workplace, but you'll be a much better, more interesting, human for it.
