What is your best advice for a boy heading to his first year in college?

Oh and also the BIGGEST advice I can give is that if you know what you want (to be a doctor, engineer, etc) then give it everything you have to make it come true, as long as you know for sure its your passion. If you haven't found a passion, be open to taking as much time as you need to discover it. You aren't trapped into anything by sophomore year like so many people think. You can change majors, or make a plan to get to the career you want with what you have. The world after college isn't always as concrete in caring about your major as kids think while in college. Basically just be careful considering your future career, and aim for something you are passionate about, and take all the time you need to figure that out. Try not to end up in a cubicle after college, it will break your soul (speaking from experience)
