People tell me that the first year of University is probably the best times of their lives with all the drinking and partying, yet I really want to do well in my studies to get into the business faculty in the second year.

My first two years of undergrad were two of the worst years of my life for a variety of reasons. Years 3 and 4 though, were awesome because I knew what I was doing and had made a lot of new friends. If you want motivation to go to your classes you should calculate how much a single 50 minute lecture costs you. If that doesn't make you want to attend then I don't know what will.
My advice: don't be a smart ass unless you want to get on a profs bad side. Also, the things people did to be funny in high school are no longer funny in university. Don't be that guy.
