Dear New College Student;
Congratulations on starting on the right path towards a successful life. I wish you the best down the road toward your accomplishments.College will help you in reaching your upcoming and future goals. During this time, you will learn how to work proficiently and also what to expect in the future. The main reason for this article is to provide you with ways to become a successful college student.
Throughout school, you consume knowledge of test-taking strategies, note-taking strategies, study techniques, and how to become a better listener. You are also taught how to better set goals for yourself. I learned how to become a more efficient thinker by using creative, practical, and analytical thinking skills. Attending college has improved my thinking skills and allowed me to apply successful intelligence throughout my everyday life.
In certain classes, you will practice how to be organized and prepared every day to the best of your ability. Purchase supplies you may need to achieve. Sufficient supplies I prefer to invest in are pencils, ink pens, highlighter, papers, post-it-notes, planner, and tab markers, etc.
Showing up to class early and being sure to review the material before the class begins is very essential. Staying focused and knowing what to expect during your courses is very important. Knowing the syllabus would be useful for you throughout your classes. You should stay away from those that may distract you, and be responsible for your class work. Pick a spot where you can do your work and hear the teacher clearly. Record all your data from recent announcements your instructor assigned to you.
Sleeping well and eating healthy are also very essential down your path toward being successful. Getting enough sleep and eating properly helps you stay focused during class and complete your task. Eliminate procrastination by completing your work when you first get it and try not to hold it off for too long. Organize your completed assignments and any notes you may have because it will reduce any troubles in your upcoming quarter.
Attend class every day, and try not to miss too many days. Making it to class and getting to school on time is mandatory for getting good grades in the classes you have. Be optimistic and responsible, and make your time in college count. Your time and dedication will most likely pay off at the end.
I wish you the best of luck on your studies, short-term goals, and future goals down your path to success. Good luck!
Sincerely;
Rashad Orumwense
