10 Good Habits To Have In College
PEXELS

I have only been in college for a little while but I know having good habits are important. When in college, you want to minimize the number of bad habits you learn and replace them with something that helps you be successful. Here are 10 habits you should try in college:

1. Have A Bed Time.

Sleep is an important part of college. You may have classes early in the morning and you would not want to miss the class that is costing you a lot of money.

2. Eat Meals At The Same Time Each Day.

If it is possible, try to eat at the same time each day. That way, you can work around your meal time and not get hungry while doing your homework.

3. Take Notes By Hand.

I understand that it is easier to take notes on a computer, but writing the notes makes them easier to remember. You can always type them later after you write them.

4. Get Assignments Done Early.

The sooner you get assignments are done, the more free time you have. With that tie you can write, read, hang out with friends, and whatever else you want to do.

5. Wake Up A Little Earlier.

When you wake up a few minutes before it is time for you to get ready, it gives you time to think about your day. You get start your day off with positives thoughts instead of just getting up to get ready.

6. Make Your Bed When You Get Up.

Coming back from classes with a nice and neat bed can be so satisfying. All you have to do is lay down and close your eyes.

7. Keep Your Desk Clean.

Having a clean desk makes it more appealing to start working. When you have a neat space you can do your homework without any distractions.

8. Go Outside.

A little bit of nature can make any day go better and chances are your campus is probably beautiful.

9. Drink Water.

Staying hydrated throughout the day makes you feel better.

10. Make Time For Your Friends.

I know college make you busy but make time for the people who matter.


Hopefully, these 10 habits will make college life easier for you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
