Forming / / December 19, 2019
School ended, and here it is - adult (almost) life! Layfhaker prepared 10 tips for first-year students to help adapt to the new place and make student life is not only memorable, but also productive.
Do not be afraid to ask for help
You can not find an audience? You do not know where to buy travel? You do not understand the documents and scholarships? Believe me, you are not alone, and dozens of people around who can help. Many universities have even beginners have a supervisor - senior students, who all show and tell. Do not be afraid to look stupid questions like "Where's the dining room?". Normally I do not know, being in the university for the first time.
Try yourself in the unusual things
Dance team, student TV, chorus, but at least on the cheerleading team. No one knows where you find yourself. The University provides such opportunities, which were not in front of you at school.
Try and take a chance - maybe this will change your life?
Take all of these features: competitions, festivals, international exchange programs, and more, while your shoulders do not lay the load of everyday work.
You will learn how to plan your time so you do not run for the teachers during the session. After all, very unpleasant will depart simultaneously from KVN, choir and volleyball teams, because the rupture did not happen. Time management now your all!
Be active at seminars
If the school everyone loved to sit quietly in the back row, then the university is better not to do so. You will respond to the seminars - remember the teacher and get a chance to "automatic".
Make new friends
Especially with classmates and seniors. With the first you have to communicate more four years, and the second will tell all about the teachers, share notes, and questions for the exam. It is also useful to know activists and employees of the university.
Do not be afraid session
from university exams Nobody died, believe me. Yes, there will be more than a school, they will be twice a year, but that's okay. And if you take notes, to delve into the learning process and to start preparing in advance, you will not even have to cram night long. Many groups have been preparing together: the questions are divided among all, and writing tickets becomes much easier.
Go to physical education
It's simple: do not get Ladder and lose scholarships due to the fact that for some reason you decide that this is not a good subject - insulting and stupid. If you do not want at the end of the year to grab the head, it is best to regularly visit a gym and swimming pool.
Generally, it is a great way to be in shape, because the university physical education is not like school and often comes in the form of free training or fitness.
Forget everything you learned in school
Firstly, your exam scores do not mean anything. Secondly, it is necessary to remove from the vocabulary word "lesson", "teacher" and "change". And thirdly, the study only now your problem. Mom to the director will not cause and will not put the count, but more serious problems can make with ease. Autonomy at the entrance to the university does not give out, which is a pity.
Take it easy
If you just missed, and one day, you will not be dismissed. If you do not carry around ten books, you will also not be dismissed. Even if you are late on a couple, you can continue to learn more. Try to find a common language with teachers, and everything will be fine.
Do not throw study
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph. Yes, student life - it's great, but about the lectures and visiting serviceable should not be forgotten. After all, you're here for this?
Students - the best time
Believe it! School days passed too quickly, and only the student will no longer hold.
