Do something you have never done before
For example, you could take a dance class that you would have never imagined taking before. I am taking a CPR class for one of my electives. I think it is important to learn these live saving skills. You could also sign up for yoga class or some other type of class that your campus offers.
Take classes that challenge you
You should seek out new challenges to help you grow as a student. Challenging yourself can be a very good thing, especially when you are trying to better yourself or make yourself a better student. Even if the class is hard, you can still learn new study skills that you may not have known before.
Write down things that are important to you or things that you want to remember
I regret not doing this sooner. I now keep lists and notebook full of things that I want to remember and keep on the top of my head. This will help you recall things that seem small but you are glad that you remember. Writing down goals and marking them off as you go can help you feel more productive as well. I find that writing my goals down helps inspire me to get them done sooner. It's also a good opportunity to organize a planner so you can keep track of important dates and events.
Find out what your school has to offer
There are many activities around campus that are free or are really cheap for students. Sometimes, these activities help you connect with people who will help you later in life! For example, going to career fairs will increase your chances of getting a job in your desired career. Going to these events will also help you meet new people that could become your lifelong friends. Take advantage of free events and services that your campus offers.
Support your sports teams
Going to your school’s games can be fun. Going with friends is even more fun! This provides a whole new side to your school to explore. Seeing your team play can also boost school spirit. Don’t be afraid to show your school spirit!
Get involved in class
Ask questions. Go to your professor’s office after class hours. Get everything you can out of the class. Take advantage at the opportunity to learn things from your professor. You never know what kind of insight you can gain.
