What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Research evidence says that practicing self-control improves the ability to use it in the future. So, if first-year students start now with exercising some control, they will get better at it as time goes on.

Make a commitment to oneself and plan for responses to temptations ahead of the arrival of the situation.
