How to Succeed: at CollegeA short guide!
Thinking Ability
Attending College helps us
develop our common
sense, good judgement
and maturity
Social Skills
When we mix with a variety of people at College we learn qualities such as tolerance, respect and empathy. These are really important traits that will help throughout our life.
Practical Training
College helps us to develop good work ethics. We learn to arrive on time for class and let people know if we are ill and not in College that day. This is an important habit we must practice when employed.
Don’t be negative!
Try not to dwell on the things you don’t like about College. Consider the advantageous things and be motivated
Stay Focused!
Get Organised!
• Establish a schedule so you can complete work on time
• Do not procrastinate! Do your assignments before you get distracted by social networking, TV or the internet
• Pack your bag the night before
TIP! Use a to-do app on your phone.

Rest
A lack of sleep can make your look haggard and leave you feeling lethargic and even depressed. In contrast sufficient rest gives you energy, improves your brain function, boost your immune system and can enhance your emotional well-being.
Have a goal!
Going through College without a goal is like running a race with no finish line!
Having a goal will help keep you focused!
