How To Survive College Life
By Alice Riley
Starting your new college life can seem a bit daunting and it is important to have a few survival tips to ensure that you enjoy college life or at least survive it. Obviously your money is going to be vital to your survival and you need to make sure that you save enough to pay for the essentials before spending it all on enjoying college life.
Most students live in shared accommodation for part of their college life. This can be the first time that many students have had to share their living space with non-family members and how you deal with this can really be the difference between an enjoyable or a hellish college life. The most important point to remember is that you need to develop some boundaries with your roomies. Everyone needs to have their own space and this is a guaranteed way to ensure that you survive college life. If you ensure that you have some time to yourself to catch up on your studies it will mean that you are free to enjoy the more pleasurable sides to college life without resenting the people that you live with. Of course everyone has their own standards but as long as you make sure that you clear up after yourself then it will make college life easier although you cannot change those around you.
College life means that you will meet lots of new people but don't let this affect your relationships with family and friends back home. You may be away at college for a number of years but remember that you had a life before college life and you will have one afterwards too. Keeping in touch with people outside of college also helps you to have a support network if college life becomes too much at times.
There are no hard and fast rules to settling in to college life but you do need to give it a chance. If you enter into it with a negative outlook and rush back home every chance you get then you will find it harder adjusting to college life. It is also true that some of the best parts of college life happen at weekends so you don't want to miss out on these opportunities.
College life can be so exciting that you may forget the important things like getting enough sleep. You are going to want to go out and enjoy yourself but it is important that you do catch up on your rest at regular intervals so that you can concentrate on your studies occasionally!
