The new classes begin this month and you might
discover many freshmen coming through the aisle of library, classes, and many other
spots; or, you are one of those freshmen wandering around adapting new
environment at campus? Yes, you need to read these tips in opening your eyes
how to get success at college.
Set your timetable
This is new life, this is new schedule, and this
will be your future. Set your schedule to make your stuffs done in your new
life at college. Living at dorms will make you stay in your comfort zone and
never realize that the time is moving so fast. Get up! You need to set weekly, monthly,
or even for the whole semester for your academic calendar.

This settled schedule will keep you on the right
track; and you must set it toughly! Yet, tough schedule doesn’t mean you don’t
have leisure time. You may set your academic moment, community services,
holiday, side job, and party time. Make sure all those thinks are under your conscious
setting. This is your life, you decide!
Live in the Academic Moment
Plenty of students complain about their work or
obsess about their G.P.A., but that’s just wasted energy and time. Don’t get
caught up in any academic ennui. Instead, focus on your timetable, your
academic calendar, and your academic stuffs. Do your papers, journals, and any
projects without waiting for tomorrow!
The academic record will follow your seriousness
in having your academic moment well. Don’t waste your time by doing useless things
unless you have done with your priority: academic!
Don’t Study in Your Room
If someone asks where the best place to study is,
just say that that place will never be your room. Yes, your room is the worst
place to study because of the comfort and the distractions.
You better find other spots at campuses to study. Library
is the nicest place to study. You may find one corner in the library and call
it as your “homework office.” You may find other place like unoccupied rooms; garden
where there’re not plenty traffic, or any other place where you think that will
boost your academic mood. One thing, make sure you have good internet
connection!
Side-job in academia
Do you plan to look for side job during your
college? That makes sense for your additional pocket money. Make sure you make
a list for the side job vacancy before you sign up.
If your financial aid package includes work-study
opportunities, look for employment in departments and libraries instead of
going to dining services or the athletic department. The connections you’ll
make outside the classroom could even lead to study opportunities.
Get Connected to Campus Life
You should jump in with both feet, even if it
means getting outside your comfort zone a little bit. Community services are
the best place in shaping your personality and your social awareness. You can
find the further information on the student’s center or any other communities.
Mingling with great people will affect your
networking and brighter future. Again, you have the schedule, you have the
target for your academic, and this is the time to share your time with others
through community services.
See your professor!
Professors like talking to students, seriously. If
you go to office hours with questions, ideas or just to find out more about the
course material, you’ll be surprised at how enthusiastic (most) professors are
to sit and talk to you. More important, you may be surprised to learn how
they’d like to get to know you beyond the paper or lab assignment you’ve handed
in.
Take Care of Yourself
Part of college life is learning how to take care
of yourself. Regulate your diet by eating healthy foods and resisting the
temptations of the unlimited and unsupervised dining options. Exercise to
maintain your physical health.
Are you ready for your college time? Yes, you
decide. Good luck!
