Where to start?

Right! That’s the first question comes in your mind when you think about your new life at the university.

You have big dreams to follow, at least you have them right now. From college, you have heard many times that university life is gonna be great. Its chill. But that chill can kill your dreams if you chill the wrong way !

I am not telling you the wrong way to chill because there are too many. So, what I am gonna do is tell you the things you can do to make your life so much easier when you graduate. So read carefully and don’t miss any tips.

1. Write (as i am doing right now).

Writing can improve your communication skills as well as it can make you a lot of money.

Let me tell you something, if you know how to make money then all the tensions of finding a job go away. So, simply go to fiverr or upwork or any writers group on facebook and start writing articles.

And if you belong to a rich enough family then simply don’t write for money. Start documenting your life. How ?

Simply create a blog, as i did for me, and start writing whatever comes in your mind. Don’t think too much , just get a topic and start typing.

2. Make Friends

You wanna be friends with those who are funny, not selfish, active or sport oriented and not jerks.

Why?

Because your friends are the only people in your life who will be the same as your age who can listen to your trouble stories in your bad times. Who might not be able to help but they will be there to support you in any way they can. That’s a big relief, right! having someone around you.

3. Evening Game Time

Always always make your evenings worth it by playing some game. You can play anything physical like football, cricket (i wanted to write it before football :P ), hockey, badminton and if it suits you table tennis.

Why play a game ? Well, its good for your health. In 4 to 5 years of your university life, a good sport activity can refresh your mind and helps in charging your brain for studies and other mind numbing activities.

4. When you are in class, Don’ take notes

Well, some of you might not agree with me here.

But i am sharing my experience and believe me, it’s worth it not taking notes.

You may ask how exactly?

If you focus on writing during lectures, you can’t get enough time to understand the concept. You may note some key points but i don’t recommend that too.

Just focus on the concept of each lecture, if you comprehend that properly, well done. Goal of the lecture achieved.

You can always re-read it from the book and you can always have notes from someone else too in case you wanna revise.

5. Attend Events

What kind of events! well, always attend business related events or fun games or different brain teaser and recreational competitions.

It makes your life colorful, motivated and above all, it makes you feel confident in your campus.

Visit other universities, and attend their events for sake of fun and learning.

6. Don’t Think Too Much

If you think too much about the future or your career or anything else, you can put yourself in a state of worry.

Just pick one interest, let it be photography or traveling or sports or anything you like.

Why ?

Because this one thing, you never know, can be the game changer in your future.

I know one guy in my class, he picked photography and though he is an engineer now, he is making more money doing wedding photography than his professional job.
