I am a freshman at Georgia Tech majoring in Physics, and next semester I am taking Honors Physics I.

Even though I have aspirations to study physics for a degree I have absolutely no knowledge in physics that could probably help me in the class in the spring. I was wondering if there was a book I could buy that I could carry with me far into my physics career that I could also start reading now to gain a more stable understanding of physics for the spring and just for personal knowledge.

Or should I just get my Physics I textbook and let that guide me?

Please and Thank You :D

My recommendation would be to buy the 3-volume set of the "Feynman Lectures on Physics" and read them cover to cover.
 
Buy your textbook. It's the best textbook for Principles of Physics anywhere. It'll make your ridiculous GT classes that much less ridiculous.
