Being A Successful College Student

If you want to be successful as a college student you need to understand these three strategies.

My goals for completing college couldn't be done without hard work. It may be a struggle but I know in the end it will be worth it. I will graduate and start a new career path in life. They say that nothing in life comes to us easily. I’m just thankful to be at a college centered around God. So, with that in mind and by the grace of God, I believe I can accomplish anything! Just have to put my mind to it and go for the

Secondly, I want to give back to my community, to come back and my goal is to help others by talking about their future and higher education. By going to high schools around my community, and be a mentor and support students with questions and goals of their future after high school. I am always positive any

There is one simple answer to what being successful in school truly means to me. To be successful, I would have to gain as much knowledge and skills that I can to be able to utilize it in my future endeavors. I want to be able to show my brains in a non-letter form. If I was to barely pass all of my classes but have obtained all of the intellect necessary, I would feel extremely proud of the four years spent in secondary education. No employer looks at the exact letter grades you held. They look for skill, determination, and brilliance. College is nothing like high school for the reason that in high school you can memorize numbers, phrases, or the answers, quickly take the test while

This semester has flew by a lot faster than I anticipated. The akron experience has taught me quite a bit that has helped me in many different areas. Being successful in college to me means to organize and manage all the parts of your life so that you are content. College is alot to keep track of and managing this and the rest of your life is the main thing that will keep you going so you are able to take breaks. Without breaks you will get burned out and I learned this pretty fast. I would say I was successful this semester even if my grades weren't exactly where I wanted them I am getting the feel for the whole experience.

While in college I hope to achieve academically, growing in all ways possible. In the writing aspect I will learn how to write more clearly and more fluently, I will be able to describe fully what I see and feel while journaling. While learning new writing skills I also hope to improve on the skills I already have. Becoming more expressive with all of my writing I feel is very important, improving on that will flourish my writing. I will improve my mindset with my writing and academics, not over thinking on assignments. In general I will improve in all things I already know and do. To develop these new and improved skills I need to take advantage of all

Being successful in college is not as difficult as some people think it is. With the proper preparation and observation, the student can be well-organized weeks ahead of when their classes will be scheduled to start. Not everyone is considered a highly organized individual and sometimes unexpected things happen to us all. It is important to keep a positive attitude, research, and speak with your instructors and various other staff members when needed in order to solve a dilemma. It all boils down to what the problem you are facing is. For myself, my EOPS appointment had been four days before classes were supposed to start and after taking a one-hour bus ride to the college about thirty minutes before my appointment was scheduled my phone rang.

In order to feel positive about future possibilities it is important to identify, explore and set goals about who and what we would like to be in the future. Our chances of enjoying our future are improved if we set goals and develop plans/strategies to achieve them.

I always make a promise to myself if you can achieve this goal set yourself a higher, push yourself harder be smarter, don't stop here god gave you a purpose here on earth either you use it, or you lose it everyday you wake up god gave you another day of life to do things better then you did yesterday. Everyday I wake up I follow that motto god gave you another day to do better then you did yesterday. I hope to get out of attending college socially, academically, socially, creativity, and personally is I hope to become more open and outgoing learning to be more comfortable with others. I hope to get knowledge not only for my career goal but also for life it self. I want to become more creative with my ideas learn to open up and express my thoughts with others and not just keep everything to myself, I feel I be having great ideas but I chose to keep things to myself I hope to overcome that, and something personally I really don't have nothing personal to overcome. MY goals to get out of this class is to get helped more with learning teach meomething I don't know or just something I want to

My definition of success is when I achieve my desired goals. Being successful in college requires me to do a whole lot of planning. Some of the things I will face are having strong motivation and stress management. The motivation depends on me because there is no one to come up to me like they used to do while I was still in school to motivate me. On an Instagram page called 8factapp, I once read that students who tend to do their homework by themselves instead of constantly asking for help get high scores on tests. In order for me to get better grades, I have to learn how to study. Different types of study skills include note taking, memorization, etc.

College is a time unlike any other in our life, like high school, middle school, nor elementary school where students can just turn everything in by the end of the fourth quarter. College academics, especially in the first term, will be the most difficult because it is new material that students have never seen before. Plus, they’ll be facing much higher expectations for performance and the expectation that they are the one responsible for their own motivation and success. This means much more work than they are used to. As a college student one thing in our mind is to work hard, keep up all the good work, and succeed. “Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”-Les Brown. The most important thing a student can do when they want to be successful in college is to plan ahead of the course or their schedule. There are several steps how to be successful in college, therefore, these three strategies to

Success has multiple meanings for some students in college. If you ask them what success means to them, most of the time you will get the “money” answer. Personally, I think being successful in college is when you are able to apply what you learn in school into your daily life. You also cannot just be successful; you have to work hard to get to the point you defined as successful.

My educational goals are to get accepted into a great college, such as New Mexico State University and achieve the highest level of excellence that I am able to push myself to, just as I did within my high school years. As usual, when you ask someone about their goals it is a very simple answer such as something that can be achieved without hardships and something that is the least stressful. However, I myself strive to be better than that and know that great things are accomplished when you put forth your full effort. With that being said I strive to have excellent grades with a minimum of a 3.8 GPA and work with my best effort to excel at an accelerated level. Eventually earning my bachelor's degree and considering going back for my master's

College is not about the content in the course it is about the tasks at hand from the course. Everyone who goes to college has struggled with the early classes the late-night paper cramming and the finals horror week. College is a tremendous amount of effort and work. According to the article Top Eleven Reasons Why College Students Drop Out: Don’t let it happen to you states that “Attributing to their overall stress, students who graduate high school and go straight into college find that the workload is more than they expected.” (Pivik 1) It’s difficult to go into a university or just any college level classes prepared and ready for all the outrageous tasks. College is not just a walk in the park, it takes self-determination,

I know that college will be difficult for me because of time management, lack of support, and the challenging classes. I am a mother of seven children, and six grandchildren whom I have devoted my life to for many years. Now it is time for me to shine. Managing time is very hard for me because it takes up most of the day. I have to car pool my daughter to basketball games, and take my son back and forth to work. My husband also demands my attention and help, because he is older now and cannot do a lot of things on his own. He comes home from work at night and expects dinner to magically appear on the table and house work to automatically be done. Finally once everything is done, it is then eight already and I still have to get the things left that I need to do before school like finish homework, study for tests, and then have myself in bed before eleven. In order to become a successful college student I will have to overcome my challenges. I would like to finish college and major in nursing which is my number 1 goal in life.
