1. Routine
Your brain is a tool from God. It is the best tool in the world. But every tool needs to be used. Then use your brain to educate than to help you with your studies. You can find a lot of texts saying when you train your brain you can create a good routine and learn more. If you wake up every day at 6 o’clock for a month after that you don’t need to turn on the Alarm anymore. if you create a good routine you will have time t do all the things the University can offer you. Some Southampton student’s accommodations have some option to insert in sert on your routine. Like the gym, Community spaces for presentations, and others.
2. Money is good, but no
We know that you have money from the scholarship or part-time jobs or even from your parents. But when you are in the UNiversity, easily you can lose money. Then try to control everything. If you have difficulties with your money, take a paper and a pen, list all your needs from the Studyhomes (personal needs) to books (school supplies). If you can work with spreadsheets take your phone and make a list with prices and how much money you can spend with each one. On Spreadsheet you can get the total spends in a month. starting like this you will improve your budget and maybe you can spend your money with friends on the weekend. Take care! bring with you only the amount that you can spend. Because you can lose your control.
3. Time
Organize your time. You can separate your day into activities. Between the classes, you don’t have much time to go to far places then separate all you will need during the day and take your breaks to study, do exercises, make an essay. If you work part-time, don’t forget to take all stuff you need to go to your job. You can organize your bag the night before. the Cellphone is a thief of your time. put in the silence or turn it off when you are studying.
4. The system is not your enemy
If you have problems with the teachers or the superiors you have to solve them kindly or this maybe transforms into a future problem for you. Avoid discussing with the authority from the University. Good talks are better to solve problems. And you will have people that will help you in your future carrier.
5. smart, no hard
if you have some difficulties studying, try to organize your thoughts. Using colorful pens can help you a lot. Or colored post-its. you can take notes on the post-it and after the class, you can organize your ideas in your notebook. You can try a Pomodoro technique. twice a week or organize one weekend to do it. Pomodoro is intense work with little breaks during the day. You can find more on the internet.
6. Using the kitchen smarter
Students’ houses in Southampton have a shared kitchen. You are a student. You don’t have time to waste. Then how can you solve the big line in front of the microwave oven? Simply don’t waste space. If you have two things to heat you can put the first on the oven, after taking a mug or a cup and turn down on the place, and put the second plate above the mug. The same you can do on the refrigerator, you can buy some containers that have three or more parts to put the things together.
7. Friendship
Make friends. This looks like a cliche, but it isn’t. Friends are essential for academic life. Obviously, you can’t consider everybody as a friend, but one or three friends can help you to hold on to the problems. Friends are the people that you will carry for the rest of your life. during the graduation and after. When you get a real friendship from the University you will see. They will help you to discharge a stressful life. Or help you with a project even if they’re from a different course. Or help you to find a studyhome to live in.
8. Are you right?
When you apply to the University you choose one carrier, are you sure about that? Think again, is this your dream or from others? Remember when you choose the wrong profession you can suffer in the future. Don’t worry about money because you are doing a course that the people say is not good. When you are a good professional you can earn more money than the courses that the people think are better.
9. Be healthy
hamburger, french fries, steaks are the food that many students like to eat. because they are fast. But if you have to eat and during the day you don’t have time you can make your own food one day before, remember about plan your day. Then, if you know that the next day you won’t be able to go to a restaurant to eat, make your food at night, and choose healthy food. Your brain will thank you.
10. You
