Over the past few weeks as a college student, I’ve learned
way too many things. I think that the lessons I’ve learned thus far surpass the
life lessons I’ve learned in my 18 years before college. The main lesson is sleep when you can, not
when it’s socially acceptable. Sleep is
something I used to take for granted and now, its something I wish I could have
more of. This isn’t something I’ve
learned in a classroom but it’s something that will help me become a better
student.
Another
lesson I’ve learned is do your homework once you get assigned it. All through high school, I was Queen Procrastinator,
which didn’t end up badly, but I knew in the back of my mind it was never the
best option. Here at Southern, I know
that procrastination will get me nowhere and my free time fills up very quickly
so I can’t rely on this for getting work done.
So now once I receive an assignment, I do it as quickly as possible,
sometimes I can even get it done right after class when I get back to my
dorm.
To be sure
that I am fulfilling my goals as a student, I know that sleep, and completing
work in a timely fashion will be playing key roles. The two seem like irrelevant aspects of ones
life as a student but I personally feel that these two components will make for
a successful, happy and motivated college student.
WHAT NOT TO BE:
With sleep, completion of work, and social time, we can all avoid this.
