Student life
Everyone dreads matric and can't wait to be a student after that ..pfftt what any student would give to get grades as easy as it was back at school , student life always sounds like you have fun,freedom and lots of parties. Although this might be true to many ,when i say many i mean many who fail continuously ,drop out at some point because its not what they expected it to be or some who never get sleep to get all the work and studies done for the next day.
The truth is if you dreamt of an amazing student life with many parties and a hell of a social life ,you might be far off as to getting a qualification.
In actual fact its about working everyday to complete numerous assignments with referencing which can deduct a lot of marks if not done correctly and never ending studying for tutorials,test and exams.What can also be guaranteed is a car with no petrol at the end of the week,hectic schedules with maybe taking an hour to chill with friends once a week if lucky.
I think no matter what field you decide to be qualified in it ,every field has a ton of work and hardly any play .
I remember my first year i thought it was the most difficult transition from High School ,and now i look back and laugh at the first years saying they are swamped with work because being a third year student is basically fitting the whole of first years stress into one term. I still try and manage my social life with my college work ,i attend family events but only stay for two hours max and then go straight home to finish college work. Im also so busy this year that I've made my parents a calendar so that they know when I'm not home and where i am just incase i forgot to let them know.
Im grateful that I've chosen Events Management as its my passion ,I'm also grateful for the amazing friends i have made while studying ..its easier to have friends who understand your work load and know that you can't always go out ,but when you are all free random outings are planned just to be in each other companies outside of campus.
some tips to enjoy student life :
1.)Prioritize : work first then a social life , it will only benefit you in the long run.
2.) be well organized: don't leave things for the last minute.
3.) make many friends : not only the friends studying the same course as you.
4.)listen in class: Helps when it come to assignments,tutorials and tests.
5.) sleep: get enough of it you need it for those 7 hour classes.
6.) set goals: this way you will have something to work towards.
7.)DO NOT PLAGIARIZE : you could get a disciplinary hearing.
8.) buy second hand textbooks : check on gumtree etc.
9.) always bring snacks : you'll need them for breaks and in-between lectures.
10.) breathe , its okay , when you get the hang of it studying it becomes easier and a way of life without even noticing it
Good luck to everyone studying for tests and to all the Matric students applying to study in 2015
