A lot of advice alumni give to current or future college students revolve around networking, gaining experience, choosing classes, setting yourself up for a job, and other very helpful, but (honestly) generic responses.
There are many temporary solutions to such a problem, and many of these solutions can save you in a pinch, and even be long term solutions until you find a computer of your own, or build up the funds to buy one. If your computer crashes, do not fret, you have many resources available, and you will survive.
But before your computer dies, it is a really good idea to back up the work you have saved to your computer by using online storage, external drives and even hard copies. If your work is backed up, you should be able to access it again from another computer and this will help to relieve any of the stress associated with a crashed computer.
So, now your computer has crashed. What do you do next? At this point, it is a good idea to look at the various resources provided by your university. Most universities offer many technological resources for their students, and want to help them to succeed, so check it out, and don't be afraid to ask good questions.
But I think there is more to college than "getting head." Students exposed to only the kind of advice given above, tend to think of college as a stepping stone. Truth is, if everything you do in college is about strategy, you'll miss out on a lot of happiness and enjoyment of life. Don't get so focused on "getting head" that you forget to live now. Find the balance between preparing for the future and living life now.
Another clear benefit of hybrid classes is their convenience. As students are able to access all important information online (at anytime from anywhere) their control over schoolwork increases and miscommunications/mistakes tend to decrease. Working from home can also be helpful for many students that have families or live far from campus.
Take as many enjoyable classes as your schedule allows. If your major includes electives, chose the ones that spark your interest, not just ones you hear are easy or scheduled most conveniently. If you have a couple credit hours take any class that seems interesting to you, no matter how relevant to your primary major or not. Learn a language, take an art class, take a music class, take an astronomy class, or join a club. Indulge your childhood dreams and have a little fun.
Your university may also offer tech services that may be able to revive your old computer. So, check these services out as well and maybe your computer will be fixed in no time at all. Sometimes students working towards a computer science degree are able to work on computers as career prep. Having your computer bail on you in college is pretty lame, but don't worry, your resources are nearly endless, so you should have no trouble finding a computer to use in the meantime.
