People in game will tell you a couple of things that you need to just ignore (at least for now). One of those is that you are not being efficient - if you are having fun who cares. The other is that <damn can't remember what I was going to add here!>. Don't be in a rush to do everything, train every skill or fly every ship. Eve is a game for the long term and, I believe, you will enjoy it more if you take it at your own pace. Don't let people tell you that you need to use Skill Injectors or buy Plex with RL$ to get you ahead, as part of the fun is learning how to make your own ISK.

Don't be afraid of losing ships, but at the same time try not to make too many stupidly expensive mistakes. E-Uni is often at war and there are some ships that are best flown on an alt to avoid the extra risk. The same goes for visiting [[Trade Hubs|Trade_Hubs]], these are often camped by both gankers and war targets, using an [[OOC Hauler|Moving_your_items]] and contracts can remove a lot that risk for just a little effort. Another thing that can help considerably is most campuses have access to the [[Hauling Service|Hauling_Department]] and also have a [[Buy-Back Program|Buyback_Program]], both of these things can make your life a lot simpler and avoid painfully expensive losses.
