A new stage in your life begins and is very different from the previous stages, as it represents a large painting on which you draw the map of your life! So prepare and do your best, slow down in your choices, and draw accurately, for it is the path from which you will proceed to your third life: your practical and professional life.

There are a lot of mistakes that are taken on many university students, some of them are due to circumstances beyond the student's control, and others are entirely of his will, so these are some simple tips from mistakes that occurred in them! Certainly, many fell into it in their first year of university, perhaps it would be helpful in alleviating the severity of these errors and the exacerbation of their danger.

  • Get rid of your flaws

The university stage begins and we do not realise that we need to pause to review ourselves, as this is a turning point in our lives. Some modifications - renewals - must take place in the personality of each of us. Partially and completely different from your culture, some of them may agree with you, but the vast majority are completely different, so you must have a strong, balanced personality.

So you have to be careful. And to volunteer your personality so that it adapts to the new life and performs its role in an effective and positive moral manner, not to adapt it by volatility and impersonation of characters other than your personality, but rather a light session in which you count your flaws that you are not satisfied with, and you see that they will not benefit you in your new life, so you work to get rid of them, and see the advantages that You must have it and strive to acquire it, then start applying it immediately in your life in general. Do this until everything changes for the better.

  • Think right, and change your understanding

Many students begin their first year of university in the belief that they have left the high school battle for the university paradise, and they will make up for everything they missed as a result of the deprivation that was imposed on them in this difficult year! And although they know very well that university studies are much more difficult than the previous stages, but they refuse to believe that and their whims push them to disdain and belittle, so the era of decent appearance, drawing attention and forming relationships… and so on!

I do not say that these things are prohibited, except for those that contradict the true religion of Islam, but we are a people. And this is the mistake, so make these things at the bottom of your priorities and not at the top in your university life, and know that this stage is a stage of foundation that requires focus and effort. Also, as soon as your first year begins, you must erase the concept of top and bottom colleges from your memory, and make sure that you are from your place, no matter how much you can reach the moon! And you can fall and rot at the bottom! Anything is possible, which one would you choose? .

  • Your desire

You were not created to be compelled to do something that you hate and that is contrary to your interest, but we believe well in success and God’s choice for us, which is the best and what suits our desires. Rights and trade to institutes - all of which are platforms for knowledge and all of them lead to lofty goals if you did what you had to do well, and thousands of stories are the best evidence of that, and in order to achieve that you have to love the place you have reached, if a choice comes to you that you hate, and there is no hope of adapting to it, and you are certain of It will not benefit you, so choose another you love and are sure of its usefulness and you see your goals in it, as it goes with the circumstances of your reality, but do not forget that with your effort you can change your reality for the better..

But watch out! Do not consider making this choice appropriate to people's whims at all, so that you will be on the first path to success in your new life, in the place of your desire and love for it. Dictatorship of the faculty, competition, and so on! Desire must be your weapon and fuel.

  • Your goal

“I adore my college and I see myself in those who have achieved their dreams in it.”

You must believe that your goal can become a reality in the place you have chosen, regardless of the challenges and difficulties. Therefore, it is important to define your goal from your studies. In order to determine your goal, you need to make your vision clear for your future, a real vision accompanied by hope and optimism and based on curiosity, love and passion. Ask Yourself, why this college specifically? Whether it is voluntarily or not - it is possible to enter without your will, but you adapt to the idea of ​​studying in it, and achieving your goals through it - and what is the maximum that I can achieve through it?

Find the source of your passion within it, be curious and ask people who have achieved great goals from them, and read about more successful people who have reached the top from your place, and do not leave frustration, despair or distraction a place in your heart, then with the fuel of love and passion, seek behind this goal, which is at the top of a study General, then specialisation, so choose the best based on your goal. The best helper for setting the goal is reading, so read a lot about your field of study and about everything that meets you and is available to you, and open the horizons of your mind to receive science and knowledge, and your goal and vision in life will become clear.

  • Commitment

You chose a college that you love, or you loved the place where you are and found your goal and your passion within it. Here comes the role of commitment, which is to make the effort to reach your goal, to perform everything that brings you close to it perfectly, and to stay away from everything that keeps you away from it for all. In order to achieve the goal of excelling in university studies, you must commit to attending your lectures, writing your lectures first, and understanding the information provided to you well, and studying them firsthand, and not only doing that, but applying practically what you have studied, and recording everything you learn, whether in a place Your studies or outside it as an outcome of knowledge in the fields you study, and do not neglect anything, as it will definitely benefit you throughout your academic years and after graduation, and to focus well in your exams, and to stay away from distractions, distractions and thieves of time and effort as much as you can, but do not let your commitment overwhelm your enjoyment and recreation for yourself with what you do not It hurts you or distracts you and keeps you away from your studies.

  • Seize opportunities, develop your skills, and acquire new ones

The university period is one of the periods characterised by unlimited opportunities, on top of which is developing skills and acquiring new ones, and on top of the skills is learning the English language in a broader and deeper way than the previous stages. The university or outside, for its benefit in practical life, you must seize this opportunity and work to develop your level in it, even if you will start your year and you do not know anything about it and this is impossible!

And if, from now on, put it at the top of your priorities after your goal and commitment to your curriculum, and there are many courses available on the Internet that provide assistance in mastering them in an excellent manner, and there are many activities and competitions in various fields such as literature, sports and science .. and many areas according to each university Develop your skills and find someone who encourages and supports you, as well as new friendships, effective communication and meaningful relationships. These are great opportunities that will help you in your university life and beyond. Do not waste them. The university is a huge interactive community, and there are professors who have experience, mind and good communication with students, giving them attention and care. And help them in their passion - they are few, but they have a big role - so do not miss such opportunities. The university is an arena for developing your talents and abilities and making a qualitative leap in your life beside the weight of your knowledge and experience in your field of study.

  • Read

The first divine command and the most important piece of advice from the eight tips. The broad and open horizons of the mind reach its owner to the highest peaks. Reading is the key to changing your personality for the better, and the best helper for you on sound thinking. Access to it, and with it you learn commitment, and with it you choose opportunities and seize them, and with it your conscience beats, and with it university study becomes easier than it would be by leaving reading, as well as your working life from a distance, and with it you own the world in your hands.

I know that there are those who will complain and say, but I do not like reading! And hope quickly! This is a natural thing, and if you do not feel it, then you are a person without feeling, but if you surrender to this feeling, not in relation to reading alone, you will not be a definitive human being, and this feeling among its defects is that it adorns escape and laziness as a solution to this hatred and boredom, but they are added to your shoulders and an increase in hatred and boredom, so you have to By breaking it and changing this reaction for the better, read on! Hold the book and can't stand to open it! How many times did you run away? And what did you gain from escaping? And what did you increase? You know the answer...

Now do not run away and try, but start with a book you love, a page, then two pages, then three until you take up reading. Complete 11, 12.. Bored? Get up, and so on until reading becomes a part of your being. How many times have you fallen and been afraid to walk when you were young? did you run away Or did you try, insist, and innovate in using auxiliary factors for you, and in the end I walked, so read.

  • The pulsating conscience

You will not be able to implement these tips and anything else properly overnight, including success in your university studies. The matter takes much longer. Your life is a test of knowledge, experience, learning, experience...etc. The truth is, you are about to take a step forward, and then you are blocked by a dark wall that you do not understand what it is, so you would rather go back than try, and why is that? ! Perhaps the wall was fragile and easy to remove. Here, you neglected learning from your experience, and were afraid of losing your quest from the beginning, and resorted to the mistake of escaping and persisted in it.

Here, the conscience, which works in accordance with the previous fact, plays an important role by giving you the power of determination managed by a creative mastermind that learns from its mistake and invents new ways that bring you back to the right path, and does not make you surrender or panic with what gives you patience, and this conscience works continuously as long as you are far from distraction with its causes, and vision Before you is clear, and you have confidence in yourself, but if these conditions disappear, it will not exist, and you will succumb to a state of frustration, despair and volatility throughout your life, and there will still be a black wall blocking your way.

Go..Happy academic year, and we wish success to all. I am waiting for your comments and hope you benefit from these tips? And if you have any other advice? Do not skimp on others.
