No matter what we want from life, most of us would like to be successful. Everyone’s definition of success is different, and it can vary from the small victories in life, to the big ones. We are taught to excel in high school so that we can go on to get a worthwhile degree in college. We are taught to go to college to achieve a worthwhile career. We are taught to achieve a worthwhile career so that we may go on to earn a decent living. We are told to earn a decent living in order to dream big and be able to afford the things we want. Alas, we are told that the ability to afford the things we want is the key to becoming happier and content with life. While chasing after these accomplishments, however, we forget to stop and consider what we are doing to reach these goals, as there have been certain trends we see among those who are successful.

The first quality that people who are successful possess is punctuality and getting to places on time. In school, we learn about the importance of not being tardy and arriving everywhere on time. Being on time is an important trait to have because it helps build responsibility within an individual. It is especially important when going for interviews. It all starts with getting to class on time because those habits reflect when there is a need to get to work on time.

The second quality that people who are successful possess is organization skills. Being organized and orderly allows you to get things done in a faster, more effective manner. Efficiency is one of the key advantages of being organized because less time is spent on correcting one's mistakes, and more time is spent on being productive. Organization is essential when it comes to management skills because an organized person knows how to set priorities and allocate them to all other individuals. Being organized also lowers stress, allowing for a more relaxed environment.

The third and most important quality that successful people have is time management skills. Having time management skills allows a balanced life for the individual. Not only is it important to work hard, it is also important to take care of your health and have a social life. Time management can allow individuals to achieve success outside of work and academics because it teaches the person to value everything in their life, including the importance of time.

Therefore, individuals who are punctual, organized, and can manage time are more likely to be successful. It is no surprise that companies all around the world look for these key skills along with many others. Individuals who have such traits increase their chances of becoming more successful in almost anything in life.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
