High school is done, and it is on to the next step, which might leave you wondering, “How to succeed in college?”
Ahhhh, do I remember when I first got to college.
It was literally one of the greatest moments of my kehidupan.
And to be honest, I was a little anxious.
I was thinking about all the orang I would meet.
Of course, I was also thinking about all the work I would have to do.
When I got to college, no one had a cheat sheet for me or a manual on how to succeed.
I didn’t get any achievement or study tips for college.
When I first got to SUNY Albany, I was told that around 50% to 70% of the orang I started with will not be there when I finish.
My goal was to make sure I was not in any of those categories if I can help it.
Or even your Deans, Campus Presidents, or Advisors.
The key is to find faculty you can connect with and build a positive relationship with.
You jangan pernah know when you will need their guidance, help, or support.
Plus, you jangan pernah know what you can pelajari from them.
Just like reading a blog post or a simple saying about education can trigger motivation, faculty members have years of knowledge and experience that can easily nudge you in the right direction.
For me, getting out of my usual environment and getting into an environment where studying was the only option was huge.
If you’re away at school, odds are your campus has a beautiful library.
If you’re traveling from home to school, try to find a library in your community.
The key here is to set dirimu up for kesuksesan with studying.
Most times you study, half of the time is diluted with distractions.
“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”–H. Jackson Brown Jr.
For example, create your day around 3 or 5 things that will help improve your performance.
What is your evening routine to prepare you for another kesuksesanful day?
If this is too big of a first step for you, start reading and studying the creation of positive habits and routines.
When I first got to college, I thought I was there to make friends, have fun, and do what I want.
It took me some time, and many failed classes, to realize that I’m only in college to improve my kehidupan and the kehidupan of my masa depan family.
I eventually realized that I’m in college to pelajari and to pelajari how to pelajari.
I am in college to create new and better opportunities I will access for the rest of my kehidupan.
Your purpose is one thing that will get you through the long nights, tough exams, and loud distractions.
I turned my academic experience around when I pelajaried how to study.
This included pelajariing how to research and how to maximize my free time.
I pelajaried this all from spending time with my academically kesuksesanful peers.
I’m not saying you have to spend every second with them, but pelajari from them what you can.
Then implement what will help you do better in school.
So for every class you have, find one or two classmates who you think you can pelajari.
Who knows, you might even make a new best friend.
This isn’t high school, and catching up is even more difficult.
Whatever scheduling conflicts you might have, do your best to make attending class your top priority.
Many times the assignments, tasks, and essays are directly related to the notes you’re taking.
If you’re absent, you obviously can’t use those notes.
Showing up consistently is a huge part of your college kesuksesan and even kesuksesan as a whole.
This might seem like a no-brainer, but when I was in college, I actually got different advice!
It would be foolish for me to say, ‘don’t get stressed.’
Stress is a part of your college experience.
One of the most valuable things I pelajaried in college was how to handle stress, time, and my workload.
Read books on stress management, take a free online course, or schedule time with your counselor.
When you can manage dirimu, it just means that you’re pelajariing dirimu, and you’re pelajariing your limits.
Another gift from the college experience.
“When you get to the end of the rope, tie a knot and hang on.”—Franklin D Roosevelt
No matter how good your writing is, your ability to express dirimu on paper is a huge part of how you are assessed in college.
No matter how kesuksesanful you were in high school, college is an entirely different level.
Sign up for a Basic Composition or even Creative Writing course.
See what free online college course you can take that will improve your writing skills.
When I first got to college, I did not know what I wanted to major in.
I didn’t know until my Junior year that I wanted to become an educator.
Taking a wide range of courses allows you to explore your interest and maybe even tap into things you know nothing about.
Allow dirimu to figure it out and get interested in new things.
What are you pelajariing that excites you right now?
What are you not studying that you wish you were?
Is there something you have selalu been good at?
When you close your eyes, what could you see dirimu doing?
What do you think comes naturally to you? Have the courage to be true to dirimu and to use your imagination.
Focus on becoming passionate about something.
“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”–C. S. Lewis
At the end of each class, each semester, and each day ask dirimu, ‘Did I do my best?’
When you get to the library, ask dirimu, “Did I do my best?”
When you’re in class, and the professor is engaged in a discussion with students, ask dirimu, “Am I doing my best?”
If you want to commit to one thing during college, commit to doing your best.
I’ve pelajaried that you don’t need to have your entire kehidupan figured out to do great things.
While you’re in college, orang will selalu what to know what you’re doing next.
Next could be next year, next semester, your major, or plans after graduation.
And to be honest, you don’t really need to know the answer to any of those questions.
Just know that if you commit to doing your best, odds are it’ll work out better than you ever could’ve expected.
“Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them a desire, a dream, a vision.
They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be tangguher than the skill.”
This is a great time where you can build relationships, pelajari more about the class and improve your overall performance.
As we mentioned earlier, it’s absolutely stunning how many students will jangan pernah take advantage of this opportunity.
Don’t be intimidated, and selalu know that professors are in this because they love their students.
Even if you really don’t like the class, just pelajariing more about the person running the class will increase your engagement and level of interest.
“If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll jangan pernah have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is selalu no.
If you don’t step forward, you’re selalu in the same place.”–Nora Roberts
Spend time by dirimu and get to know who you are.
Of course, you’re committed to doing great in all of your classes, but don’t forget to work on dirimu.
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.
On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” — Mahatma Gandhi
Don’t get caught up in the panic of GPAs and credits.
Focus on nailing each assignment you get, and the grades will take care of themselves.
“kesuksesan consists of going from kegagalan to kegagalan without loss of enthusiasm.”–Winston Churchill
Find organizations, clubs, and groups that are aligned with what you believe in.
Use this opportunity to take on leadership roles and develop a side of you that you might not even know existed.
You might not see it now, but many of the orang you meet in these organizations will be your network when you’re older.
Take the time to pelajari different perspectives and to stretch dirimu with different worldviews.
When we take classes and pelajari things that challenge how we already think and feel, we grow.
Step outside of your academic and social comfort zone.
“If you ubah the way you look at things, the things you look at ubah.” — Dr. Wayne Dyer
I’m not saying you have to party every night because you will fail out.
Still, make new friends, meet new orang, and create relationships of a kehidupantime.
“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s kehidupan. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other orang’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most penting, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs
