Of all the things, it all begins with preparing yourself for the coming challenge. For your information, life in University can be very relaxing and challenging depending on how you treat it. I've heard many seniors and aunty uncle said that:" Once you gone through STPM, U life will be very relaxing!" I found it quite true but not so true. Very contradict, I know. Haha. Here's what you should know:
1) You're responsible for your lifestyle.
After the 2 years of tough life in Form 6, the relaxing university life is what the new university students will look forward. If you can't discipline yourself well, you will be extremely indulgence. Trust me. You will. I know it. ^^
Here's what you should be aware:
- make sure you sleep and rest properly. Don't sleep too late as it will cost your health.
- be sure to workout daily or at least, weekly since you won't have much time due to the workload (assignments, homeworks, presentations, tests and etc)
- healthy lifestyle and keep away from smoking. A bit of alcohol might be ok, but avoid it if you can. ^^
2) Manage your wealth.
Entering Uni indicate that you're free from your parents' control if you're going to study overseas or quite far away from hometown. Thus, you'll have to learn how to control your expenses. Here's a list of things you should know:
- Ptptn is limited
- plan your expenses, think before you spend and avoid unnecessary expenses
- record every expenses even though it might be quite troublesome. This keep you aware of where your money gone.
3) Spoon feeding vs self-learning
Up till Form 6, we're the one that follow what the teacher teaches. The teachers will even use punishments if you don't listen. However, in Uni, the lecturer don't bother whether you listen or not. You have to learn yourself as they only teach the common stuffs. Usually, they only tell you the main points. Therefore, the teaching process will be very fast and you guys might not be able to catch up. Besides that, the homework and assignments will be piled up if you don't manage your time properly. Believe me, I just gone through that hectic period. Ughh~ Its terrible. You don't have time to sleep at all. Don't do this if you don't want that kind of life.
4) Expand your circles, make more friends
In uni, you're helpless if you're alone. You'll need your course mates to help you in things ranging from lectures to living. Besides that, the lifestyle of you and your room mates might differ a lot. Learn to tolerate. Its important. The wide range of friends might give you unexpected help in the future.
One last thing, lectures, assignments, marking and exams, all done by the same lecturers. Thus, maintaining a good relationship with the lecturers will give you an unexpected help in results.
Once you're in the university, you might behave like a bird out of the cage, being indulgence. You must learn to appreciate and use the good surrounding to learn what you should. 3-4 years will pass in a blink of eyes. Try to enjoy your life in University. ^^v~
