My best advice for anyone starting college: Set yourself some targets of what to get done each day/week and stick to it. College learning tends to lend itself to a lot of self-study time, meaning it can be even easier to leave things till later and get yourself in a difficult spot with workload.
Definitely get the work done before you relax too. It's so much easier to make yourself get through your workload when you aren't delving into a much more "fun" activity first. I'd start playing a game thinking "I'll do that paper later", and before I knew it.. I hadn't done the paper that night xD I learned to get the work done before I chilled when I could help it. It was much easier to not get distracted that way.

A few things I wish I had known:
Avoid 07:00 classes if you can. You will hate yourself to wake up that early.
Make sure your schedule is balanced throughout the week. If you try to cram all your courses into 3 or 2 days a week, you'll have a bad time.

get ready for some pain but if you can make it through it'll be worth it... Hopefully you can find a field within computer science that you prefer over others that'll help drive career/internship decisions
