Four Things You're Probably DoingWrong
College offers us a lot of freedom.
Perhaps too much freedom.
Here are four things that you're probably doing
wrong in college.
Four Things You're Probably DoingWrong
1. Not getting involved.
2. Not taking advantage of everything that's offered.
3. Staying put
4. Waiting for it to end.
1. Not Getting Involved
Many college kids find themselves thinking “Oh, I’ll definitely join that
team/club/group,” then fail to follow through until it’s senior year and
they’ve deemed it to be too late.
It's NEVER too late!Regardless of it you join your freshman year or your senior year, you'll be connecting
yourself with a group of peers who share like-minded ideas and can help set you up for
success in the future, or become your best friends down the line. Getting involved on
campus is important to building a professional AND a social life.
2. Not Taking Advantage
Do you...
1. Go to your professors' office hours?
2. Stay after class to engage with your professors/peers?
3. Utilizing on-campus resources
If you're not doing all of the above, you're not
taking full advantage of what's offered.
3. Staying Put
One of the best ways to ensure the education you're receiving avoids
following a one-track, linear path is by expanding your horizons.
Gaining a real-life experience of how other cultures and other people
learn, engage and grow can lead to greater personal development on
your own behalf.
If you have the opportunity, study abroad.
4. Waiting for it to End
"I can't wait to be done with school..."
Look forward to the future, but make sure you
enjoy college.
"It's going to be so much better once I graduate...""Once I'm out in the real world, life will be so much better..."
Phrases like the above are often thrown around in college as students
long for the post-collegiate future. The real world can be great, but you
only get to experience college once (at least undergrad).
