Three Keys to Success Make College A Breeze!


Is college a bit weird and overwhelming? Absolutely!

No two college experiences are the same, even if the student comes from the same place, attending the same school and sharing the same major.

 

Students are often stressed to become the best that they can be and aren’t sure how to be successful.

 

Truth is, you as a student need to do three basic things:

1)   Recognize that the old ways you were learning may not apply in college. It’s important to abandon what doesn’t work and lean in with what does.

2)   Make a game plan to tackle what you want to do and what you have to do. You aren’t just responsible to do the homework. Now you have to cook, clean, and take care of yourself and sometimes that’s tough to handle.

3)   Know your resources. When in doubt reach out and ask questions of your peers, or university staff. What resources are on campus to help you be successful? Are they free or is there a catch?

 

Do you want to learn how to master the three basic things that will aid you on your college adventure?

For The Parents

Dear Parents, Here's my open love letter to you all! You are amazing, you may have worked tirelessly to make sure your student got what they needed to get through school to this point. You have shared in each of those wins and losses together. You've tried to maintain control and shield them from the tougher challenges so they didn't loose motivation or self-esteem. Once they hit campus, you need to be aware that your ability to maintain control and protect them from those challenges reduces to nearly zero. College is the last pit stop before students head into full fledged adulthood highway. Stepping in, demanding things of colleges and universities and asserting your power to make things happen is not the best way to help them learn how. How to gas up their cars, change, rotate their tires, make sure they have their breaks and their windscreen is clear. The best way to help your student is the following: 1) Have a conversation with your student about your expectations and their expectations. Do they match? What happens when expectations aren't met? Having those conversations are key in order for you and your student to be successful in this jump to college. 2)Have info of where to go if your student is unsure. Then when something happens guide them to the next step. 3) Recognized each student's experience is unique to them. No two students are the same. Instead of you or your student needing to compare themselves to someone else. Do you want to know more? Check out our parent's workshops and our Roadmap for Parents blog.
