IT is graduation season, and many senior high school graduates will enter college, marking a new phase in their lives.
While college mainly focuses on academic growth, it also allows students to be future-ready by learning skills helpful in their personal lives and careers.
Adulting, on top of juggling school work and social life, can be overwhelming, but here are some tips from STI College to make the most of it.
Practice the art of time management. Time management is one of the first things students must learn or improve on once they enter college, as it is something that they can bring well into their adult lives. Sometimes, it will feel like there are just so many things to do but so little time. To be organized, make it a habit to list down to-dos in order of priority and exercise efficiency in doing tasks so there will still be time left for activities outside academic requirements.
Stay healthy in mind and body. In a time where social media makes it seem like sleepless nights and caffeine overloading are a badge of honor among students, physical and mental health should remain a priority. Remember that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Rest well, eat a balanced diet, and stay active to ensure optimal performance in classes and extracurricular activities.
Meditating is also helpful in managing the day-to-day stresses of college life and controlling negative emotions. Of course, don't hesitate to seek medical and counseling services available at school when needed.
Be open to opportunities. College is a sneak peek into "real life." Here, students meet and interact with people from all walks of life, of different races and cultures, and more. It is the best time to hone social and communication skills, two crucial things needed to be successful in any career. There are many ways to do this, such as joining clubs and organizations, participating in school events, and being active in classes. The best thing about this? The possibility of meeting friends for life.
At STI College, for instance, students stay on top of adulting through a learning environment that is cultivated to encourage them to earn more, do more and become more of the person they are meant to be.
