IN MY INFINITE WISDOM (Advice for 1st Year Uni. Student) -Joe Howell

#1 Be early to all lectures. Just being late a few minutes, gets you distracted enough not to follow the entire lecture and miss out on the key points.

#2 Do not miss any lectures. Simply attending all the lectures and following what the profs say will probably be enough to pass the course. Of course, it is very much advised to study hard to get the desired “A+”. Having a degree these days won’t get you far, unless you plan on working in your father’s company.

#3 Go to the lectures prepared. Just glancing through the material to be covered helps you understand the subject matter much better. The night before spend a few minutes looking at the pages that will be covered.

#4 Do not panic if you fail a test. You have plenty of time to recover from it and learn from your mistakes. But if failing becomes a habit, then just pack up and go home. Most likely this is not your place to start with.

#5 Do not waste your time by just hanging out. There are a lot of people to distract you and many will not stay around. You’d be surprised how many won’t be back for second year.

#6 Have fun and relax. Even as a student you can afford to have a day to rest, but you have to plan your studies well. Going to university is not a 24-7 routine and it is not a 9 to 5 job either. Just find a balance and you can succeed in anything that life has in store for you.
