When I entered the college, I thought I was ready to face any difficulties that I will encounter. However, I didn’t realize that there’s so much more to know in order to be ready. And right now, I wish I have known these things right from the start so that I was able to achieve my goals earlier.
Set your priorities
When I started the semester, I should’ve set which things to prioritize and which things I should put my time in. I lost so much time doing unnecessary things that I forgot those who needed more time from me. I wasn’t able to achieve the goals that I set beforehand.
Avoid procrastinating and cramming
Laziness will always eat my time. I should’ve told myself to avoid spending time doing nothing and then cram requirement the last minutes before the deadline. If only I overcome procrastinating a lot earlier, I could’ve done much better outputs, however, I still let it consume me. Hopefully, for the next semester, I will be able to set things straight.
Stick with your budget
Part of adulting 101 is managing your finances wisely. When I started the semester, I thought it will be easy, however, it’s not. I should’ve stick with my budget and only spend my money on important things so that I will be able to save up money for the necessary tools needed in my major subjects. I hope in the next semester I would be able to have savings for emergency purposes.
Strive for excellence
When I first started the college life, I told myself that I will study hard so that I will be able to graduate with flying colors. However, along the way I lost my will and eventually settle to just passing my subjects. I should’ve continued striving to achieve my initial goal and not be discouraged. I hope in the next semester I would be able to get back in the track towards my goal.
Expect the unexpected
It may sound cliché, but this phrase is very appropriate for me. I should’ve known that what I hoped for is different for what is for me, that I should not be discouraged if things didn’t come out as what I expected it to be. I should have told myself to be ready for the consequences as it reflects the decisions that I made along the way.
As the semester’s ending, I realized that there are many things that I should’ve known earlier for me to be ready for anything that my course demands from me. However, at this moment, I realized that it’s also important for me to realize these things in order for me to learn from them. After all, experience is the best teacher.
