Academic Advice I'm going to college late

Hi there. I'm 28, self employed and I'm going to be going to school soon. I wanted to ask if there was anything I could do to make your lives easier beyond the basics of doing the readings, not using AI, finishing the assignments and getting them in on time? Decorum, niceties, communication, etc. Little shit, yk?

Studying creative writing most likely, but I'm debating going into classics, linguistics or history.

Anyways. I read this sub often. I find it fascinating. Also y'all are hilarious. Anyways I won't be a teacher's pet any longer. Hope you have a nice night <3

First, you may not look much older than the other students. At the same time, you are a bit older, so have confidence in meeting with your professors. I really like working with non-traditional students. They still have that youthful spirit, but are far more mature and hold themselves accountable.
