Your points sound more like goals.
Where is the plan?
Plans are more detailed, but it's okay because your college will give you an advisor who can suggest courses to take. Then it will be up to you to study and pass them.
A plan might be to study Calculus 1 over the summer so that you can hit the road running in your Fall semester.
This is a noble idea that I followed many years ago, as I learned that you couldn't start Physics 1 without a background in Calculus 1 and 2 at the very least. My school allowed students to take Calculus 2 concurrently, but I opted to take Calculus 3 concurrently instead.
What did I lose?
Initially, my grades were okay, but as the semesters progressed, the courses became tougher, and my grades slipped. I realized that college taught things at a much faster pace than high school; a rate comparable to 1 year of college courses was equivalent to 3 years of high school.
When I graduated, my grades, while okay, gave graduate schools pause. They looked at the GPA more than the more challenging courses I took because I skipped past Calculus 1 and a few others on my way to a BS.
I lost a thorough conceptual understanding of Calculus 1 that could have helped me gain a deeper knowledge in my upper-division undergraduate courses. But that's the side effects of how college pushes you onward to greater things.
Another thing I did was work 20 to 30 hours per week, which helped pay for my schooling. I had a small scholarship that helped, but I took on a heavier course load (ie, we were allowed an extra "free" course per semester) while working, and my homework suffered as a result. In one course of Classical Mechanics, I was always a few days late with my homework. The prof would say my solutions were excellent, but since they were late, I lost a letter grade.
He funnily taught CM. We had classes on Mondays and Fridays, where he would assign homework on Monday to be due the following Monday. I figured I'd do all the homework over the weekend. However, he would often surprise us with additional problems on Friday, also due on Monday. I just couldn't handle the workload while working at the same time.
Consequently, those extra problems just overwhelmed me, and because I delayed working on them, I couldn't ask the professor any questions until Monday, when it was too late.
Being a commuter student was another challenge, as I never joined a study group. Had I been on campus and not working, I would have had more time to work in a study group to spend on the problems.
Nowadays, students are often distracted by many new things; work is not usually one of them, but gaming is. My nephew became a high-level character in a popular online game. We never knew this until one day my son's friend, who had become an admin at the gaming company, casually mentioned that my nephew spent eight hours a day gaming. I was shocked and asked my nephew about it, and he said he couldn't let his online teammates down. However, he managed to get by somehow.
My work reduced my college debt to zero within six months of graduating with a BS. The cost, however, was some burnout and a lost desire to attend graduate school. I took five years off and then returned to graduate school, with the downside of having lost some of my math edge, essentially having to relearn the rudiments of Calculus 1, 2, and 3, Linear Algebra, and Ordinary Differential Equations.
Your plan should navigate those waters and consider the pros and cons of courses, work, gaming, and other pastimes you have. You will need pastimes to keep yourself sane and healthy, but be mindful not to overdo them.
Take care,
Jedi
