ADJUSTING TO COLLEGE
Adjusting
to College
life
“College life is that part of
your life that you are going
to relive in your memories
till you breathe.”
The college schedule is very different than the
traditional high school schedule. Typically, there is a lot
more flexibility with your college classes.However
,college is like high school in that you will have the
opportunity to get involved by joining different
clubs,organisations and may be even by getting a part
time job. Of course, the best way to see what a true
day in the life of a college student is like is to actually
get the schedules of some college students! Here are
two undergraduates and their real-life experiences.
College life is the life when you start focusing on your
career and become serious towards what you want
out of your life?your passion,your dreams. It is the
mixture of friends,dramas,emotions ,learning. It is the
golden phase of your life under which you are going to
have so many opportunities to enhance yourself. I
would like to suggest you that whatever competition is
held by your college, which you really like then stop
thinking and start participating in it. And at the end you
will have so many certificates which really help as a
good instrument towards your future. - Nistha Singh,

 Ways to Adjust

1. GO TO CLASS
The attendance rate is important because students
are more likely to succeed in academics when
they attend school consistently. It's difficult for the
teacher and the class to build their skills and
progress if a large number of students are
frequently absent.

2. Become

comfortable with

your mistakes
Some of the world's greatest innovators
only found success through a great deal of
failure. Thomas Edison once said, "I have
not failed 10,000 times — I've successfully
found 10,000 ways that will not work." Find
that silver lining in your studies. Mistakes
happen to everyone, and they only make
you stronger.
3. ORGANIZE STUDY
GROUPS
Unless you're starting your own
business, you'll be working with other
people as soon as you enter into the
professional world, so get used to
working with a group. You may find that
collaboration is the best way to learn
more and succeed in class.

4. LEARN HOW
TO STUDY
You may have aced some tests before by
cramming at the minute, but college isn't
always the same. Learn the best study
habits ahead of time. Don't just open a
textbook and highlight the important
things. Think critically about the content,
put the information in your own words,
and develop a true understanding for the
material.
 5. Remember, there are

resources
Virtually every college has academic
resources that can help you with
everything from organizing a study
schedule to getting tutoring outside of
class. If you ever feel overwhelmed,
don't be afraid to reach out for help.

7. GET
INVOLVED IN
CLUBS
There may be no replacement for
your friends back home, but
making new friends and getting
new hobbies can be a great way
to take your mind off of those
feelings of homesickness and
ease into your new college
experience. Find a club that
interests you and dive in.
8. Reach out to
RAs and campus
centers
And when you're
really feeling
down, don't
underestimate the
power of a few
other support
networks on
campus. Resident
assistants are
trained to help
students that feel
homesick and
direct them to
other campus
resources,
including
counselors.
 9. LEARN OUTSIDE
OF CLASS
If you're really passionate about
getting ahead, you'll need to work
outside the classroom. Cultivate
a relationship with a successful
professor, look for campus
organizations that fit your goals
and study the industry you
eventually want to enter in your
free time.
10. Be your own
person
And one of the best ways to
succeed socially is to be your own
person. Your personality is forged
in college by the choices you
make, so think carefully about
your decisions and how they'll
shape you during these important
years.
