What do I need to know before starting my physics degree?

[grouchomarxist]

My name's Jacob, I'm an incoming college freshman majoring in physics. I have fallen in love with math and science over the last two years, after being locked in a self-defeating mentality of "not being good enough" for far too long. I'm excited to learn more about the universe, deepen my mathematical maturity, and eventually go on to pursue a PhD. I am very interested in cosmology, as well as particle physics. I'm happy to have joined the forum!

I'm likely to be doing a lot of asking over the next few years, I can't wait!
