CAMPUS is the word that excites everyone. The change in life people wait for. Rather the most fun and frolic change. It’s the point where you can either make it or break it. You get a new chance to explore your abilities at every stage in college life. Be it studies, extra- curricular, sports, politics or even dramatics, college provides you a whole big platform to show it, enhance it and make a career out of it!
Being a student, you take part in different competitions, tournaments and educational trips. During this period, one learns and educates. You get a chance to go out with friends on trips and fun while exploring new places.
But is college JUST fun? Is it just a place to be free and enjoy? Will it likely be according to your assumptions?
Well, many students make expectations even before getting into the college. These expectations are often influenced by movies, television programmes or preconceived notions. The chances of college meeting these expectations are low! After all, there is certainly a difference between real life and reel life!
Moreover, not every student immediately adjusts during the initial stage of the college. If you find difficulties to adjust, you surely need to give yourself a little bit of more time and understand that changes occur to make you better.
You are certainly an incharge of your own time! For many students, college just means freedom. But along with this new fold freedom, responsibility follows. Being responsible means managing your time equally.
There are co-curricular activities that are needed to be considered but not at the stake of your academics. Ms Babli Moitra Saraf; Principal of IP College for Women, Delhi University said, “Bunking might seem to be fun, but at the end of the day you can buy a college but not the time of a class! Enjoy your classes! After all, it’s your time, once in a lifetime.”
This is exactly where the point lies. The first thing you would have to manage is your time! Time management is very necessary at the early stage of your college life, otherwise at the end of it you would be in a mess, a mess that would surround you and make you sink. Do you really want to run from here and there for notes? Do you want to be in the detainees’ list because of short attendance? Certainly, no one would ever want that to happen. For all of this you need to understand your time and schedule it properly.
Yes, college is fun and freedom. You might bunk some but make sure that you don’t bunk too many. Your teacher won’t have a loss anyway. It would be just you who would be suffering. Here are some tips for the freshers to be followed:
• Always be calculative: Keep a record of your own attendance. This would make you careful regarding your attendance and would also help you to attain the margin required.
• Manage your time: It is necessary for you to manage your time and prepare a time table. You might have classes on different timings every day. Keep in touch with your class representative and attend accordingly.
• Be in a good company: The friends you make play a very vital role in your college life and also in the class. Always be in a company that is good for you. Be in touch with people who are worthy enough. This would make you enjoy your classes and study, thus having a good result.
• Balance everything: Balancing is very important for you to live your college life. Excessive of bunking won’t help, so never make it a habit. Balance your fun, studies and extra-curricular activities.
• Hold a good repo with your teacher: There are students who find it cool to disturb a teacher in between he/she is teaching. Trust me, it is NOT! Always try and establish a good relationship with your teachers. It would help you in your internal assessment marks. Moreover, they are not school teachers. They know what fun is!
• Follow the basic class rules: If you have some class rules, follow them. Rules are made to be followed not broken.
• Do not get too involved in college societies: There are universities that provide blind hours to the students on their special contribution to the reputation and the goodwill of the college. Be the exception of your college and make it proud but never get too much involved into the societies that you stop attending your classes. You might get the cultural leave but you won’t get back the class time and the knowledge shared.
With the do’s, comes the don’ts of behaving in a class. The most important thing you again need to note is to be aware of your surroundings. Again, BALANCE everything. Excess of everything is harmful. You need to be a mixture of sugar and spice together to be on the top. Follow the tips and make it happen easily.
