Now that you’re in college…

Everybody loves high school life, but we don’t stop being a high school. The hardest part of a student life is when you’re in college. You feel fear for terror professors, no chance to be lazy and less play time. Everything must be seriously taken. But hey! There are lots of things you’re missing when you look this way. College life is exciting and fun. There are good things you will learn in this stage. Let me share to you some things you must do to make your college life an exciting one.
1. Know the makeup basics. Being a college means exposing yourself. Nobody actually wears makeup in high school so now that you’re in college you must learn the basics in makeup – like foundation, concealer, powder, sun block, lip gloss, etc. you can choose the best color that suits your skin tone. So the next time you go out on a gimik with your friends, wear the best makeup ever!
2. Say “Bye-bye dependency”. Now that you’re in college, you must learn to stand on your, that doesn’t mean to abandon your family, instead you must develop your sense of responsibility and manage your own resources. College I your preparation to reality of life. Learning to save your money, handling your time well and asking yourself to be extra careful are some signs of being independent.
3. Simply be yourself. Most of us if not everybody experienced a culture shock at first day in the university. Everything is new to your eyes. It’s the time to add new friends and barkadas on your pocket. But you must strengthen your personality first. What do I mean? You must equip yourself with your own identity. Yes there are lots of possible friends, but not all are good. They might influence you but the scariest thing is that they might talk something bad about you. You’re different from them; always bear that in your mind. No, you’re not an alien but everyone has its own uniqueness so as you. Don’t let anybody stole your own identity, because in the end your survival depends on you.
4. Take all the chances. It’s a good thing to know you abilities, talents and skills. But that doesn’t stop there; you must enhance your weakest and strongest point. College life is full of chances and opportunities all you have to do is to b sensitive with them. Before I’m hesitant to try new things for myself, but I overcome it. I explored myself and tried new things that will define myself more. And now I’m enjoying it. You must take the risk, but I tell you it’s worth trying for. I’m major in Journalism so now I’m practicing with it. I enjoy at the same time I learn. You must discover your own.
5. Be kind yourself. College life is not just about studying, studying and studying. You can do that at the same time enjoy. How? All you have to do is give yourself a break. After the examination period why not treat yourself. Have a cone of ice cream or bring yourself to a clothing shop and buy some. What’s my point? Enjoy it. Study as much as you could but learn to stop when you’re full. Studying in college is about enjoyment, don’t be hard on yourself.
