Hello and welcome to my blog on making the most of your college experience. Over the years, I have counseled many students and have learned a great deal about what works, what doesn’t, and what you can do to make the most of your time in college.
The purpose of this blog is to get you started on the path to making the most of your college experience. The focus will be on getting the most out of your classes, having a good social life, making friends and contacts that will last for a lifetime, and developing positive habits that will last for a lifetime.
The goal is to help you maximize your potential both inside and outside of the classroom. To do this, we will examine some of the obstacles facing students today as well as how to overcome them. We’ll talk about some of the best ways to use your time during the week and on weekends to meet people, make contacts, build relationships and get involved with activities that can help you develop personally while also helping you find something you are passionate about doing in the future.
How to Make Friends at College (And Make Them Want To Be Your Friends)
The biggest reason students go to college is to get a better job. So, if you’re wondering what’s the best way to use your time in college, it could be helpful to think about how that time will affect your future career.
How can you make the most of your time in college?
The best way to maximize your success in college is to figure out what you want to do with your life, and then go to a school that will help you be successful at it. College is expensive, so if you don’t know what you want to do, keep the cost in mind as you consider different options. If you’re still thinking about careers, it’s OK. In fact, it’s completely normal. Most students change their minds about what they want to do after they graduate from college, and many people change their minds again before they retire.
This might sound like a lot of pressure, but trust us: we’ve been there. You’ll figure out what’s right for you eventually! In the meantime, here are some things that most people wish they’d done more of while they were in school:
1) Make friends: The sooner you start meeting new people, the easier it will be later on when you need someone to write a recommendation
There are two types of advice given to students: how to get a good grade, and how to enjoy your life. I think both of these are equally important in college.
We’ve all heard about the importance of getting good grades, but sometimes it’s hard to know what good advice is. Sometimes it seems that every professor has their own way of grading, and no one way is best.
One thing that helps me get good grades is to make sure I’m working on things I like. If you’re doing something you don’t like, it’s going to show in your work. Your mind isn’t going to be focused on doing a great job at whatever you’re doing.
If you have trouble figuring out what classes you’ll enjoy, there are often people who can help you find the right classes for you. For example, sometimes when I’m having trouble deciding what classes to take, I go to my school’s career services center. They can help me figure out what kinds of things I might be interested in studying and which professors will teach those classes.
Getting good grades isn’t something that just happens; it’s something you have to work at. But even if you aren’t aiming for top grades, there’s still lots of ways you can make
You’re in college now, and you’re busy. But if you want to do well at life (and who doesn’t?), it’s important to make the most of your time here.
What do I mean by that? Here are my top three suggestions:
1. Do the things that help you learn the most.
2. Get involved in some way with your school or local community.
3. Have fun while doing it all. People learn best when they are having fun; don’t forget to have a good time!
There is a widespread belief that the best way to spend your college years is to learn as much as possible, and that what you need to learn is mostly in the classes you are taking. This idea, which seems eminently reasonable, leads naturally to a certain kind of curriculum-the one that takes a standard set of courses in the traditional divisions of knowledge: math and science for the rational side, literature and history for the imaginative side.
Borrowed from the ideals of 18th-century gentlemen, this curriculum has lately been dubbed by its critics “the Great Books” curriculum. Its advocates claim it gives students a broad foundation on which to build a life. Its detractors believe it leaves out too much, especially in the areas of science and technology. What both sides agree on is that its general structure makes sense for everyone-and this despite overwhelming evidence that some people are left-brain types and others are right-brain types; that some people are better with words than with numbers; that some people are abstract thinkers while others think in concrete images; that some people get bored quickly, while others prefer courses with lots of laboratory work or field trips; and so on.
I am not saying students should study what they feel like studying. I am saying that the first
The trouble with having a job is that it makes it hard to have fun. It only allows time for the things you have to do, not the things you want to do. That’s why so many students feel like they’re on a dull treadmill — and why many of them drop out.
Treadmills are good for hamsters, but humans need variety. We need to be able to take some time off every now and then. But what should we do with that time? Some people say that doing volunteer work is better than sitting around watching TV or going out drinking. But volunteering can be boring too, and if you do it just because your parents want you to, you’ll resent it even more than your boring job.
What’s the solution? One option is to spend all your free time on a single hobby or interest. A lot of people find this works well, at least for a while. If you’re really into something (like rock climbing or playing guitar), then spending many hours a day practicing can make you feel like your life is finally meaningful.
But eventually that feeling wears off, and there’s nothing left but the same old routine. You’ll start asking yourself: “Is this all there is?” And unless you can find some
Psychedelic art is a catch-all term for art that, in addition to having high aesthetic standards, also has strong associations with the psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s. It may be influenced by any number of psychedelic subcultures, including hippies, Ravers, Rastafarians and others. The word “psychedelic” is derived from two Greek words: psyche (ψυχή) meaning “soul” or “mind,” and delos (δηλος) meaning “clear,” hence “soul-manifesting.”
The earliest known psychedelic artwork dates back to prehistoric times when ancient peoples drew geometric designs on cave walls and animal skins. The best known examples are the cave paintings at Lascaux in southern France and Altamira in northern Spain. These paintings were discovered in 1940 and have been dated to about 17,000 BC.
