How to Succeed in College

Here are some thoughts from a college senior's experience:

• Major in what you naturally excel in

• Don't hold on to a major that is taking your GPA nowhere

• Be true to yourself and have the guts to stick to your career or change it if necessary

• Expose yourself to different experiences in and out of the class. These are your most formative years and any encounter no matter how big or small could have a big impact on your identity and even career interests

• Don't think of your life as being constrained by one career or major. Be open to all the new talents you might discover in yourself

• Remember that you are your own person at the end of the day and can choose whether or not to join a sorotity, fraternity, or any popular organization

Choosing a College Major

You don't have to know your major before getting into college. It's okay to have an idea of areas that you are interested in but don't use those interests of yours as a hedge. Be open about what subjects truly interest you and that you are capable of succeeding in and have fun while your at it.
