How to Succeed in School

It’s hard to succeed in college. Especially harder to succeed when you have things you want and need to do, like work to pay the bills, or hangout with friends and family to relieve the stress of school. You can’t let your work and school schedules interfere with each other and there is a way prevent that. The way to succeed in college is to plan your days so that you use your time efficiently.

First step in scheduling your day is scheduling the time you sleep and eat. Sleeping and eating helps you in many ways. It helps you stay focused, gives you energy and you are able to obtain knowledge with the adequate amount of sleep and nutrition. If you don’t have a regular sleeping schedule and eat properly, you will be tired and won’t have a lot of energy. Depending on whether you work or not, your eating schedule might be a little different. There might be times when you can’t sit down and eat a full meal, or cook a full meal. You should try to eat three meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, but if necessary, then try to have shakes and meal replacements and snack supplement if you can’t have a proper meal or skip a meal. Sleeping and eating will help you when attending class.

You need to be in class and aware while in class. Attendance is part of your grade. Also, if you don’t attend, or unable to focus while in class, you won’t be able to obtain knowledge. There will be some days when there are tests you will have to take in class. You have to be alert and ready for the test to pass the test. If you don’t attend class you won’t be able to take the tests that are given and you won’t know what to do for homework and projects.

The next thing you need to do in planning your schedule is planning your homework and projects at home. You need sufficient time to do your homework and projects. If you don’t do any homework or projects you won’t be able to pass your class because that’s the majority of your grade.
