  • So today we're gonna talk about

  • 3 things you can start your semester strongly

  • that's right

  • b*****

  • The first thing is

  • Manage your time

  • Managing your time may be your biggest challenge in college

  • since a lot is going on at the same time

  • so here's a few tips to help you manage your time

  • The first one is

  • Use a calendar

  • It can be a paper calendar

  • or you can download a calendar app

  • I personally recommend Google Calendar

  • because it is connected to your gmail

  • which is very convenient

  • for you to invite your friend or your family

  • to a certain event or activity

  • and the second tip I'm gonna give you is

  • Schedule time to relax

  • Of course you'll schedule time for schoolwork and other activities

  • but always remember to schedule time to relax

  • this is also quite important

  • and the third tip is

  • Plan ahead

  • If there's something important

  • always work backward in the calendar

  • to figure out how much time it'll take you

  • to finish that certain task

  • For example

  • if your big test is on December 25th

  • which is Christmas....

  • Dammmmnnnn

  • You have to go backward

  • and figure out how much time it'll take you

  • to finish reviewing all the chapters

  • Time is limited

  • so managing your time is not only important in college

  • but also very important in your whole entire life

  • So managing your time is the first thing

  • you need to do

  • to start your semester strongly

  • And the second thing is

  • Join a club or sport

  • If you're looking for excitement

  • Are you looking for excitement?

  • or just wanna make more friends?

  • Join a club, get an on-campus job

  • volunteer somewhere and play a sport

  • Doing those things can keep your brain

  • balanced between personal life and schoolwork

  • And this is actually something I've regretted not doing

  • when I was in college

  • Joining a club can help you know people

  • who share the same interest with you

  • Joining a sport can not only keep you in shape

  • but also make you relax at the same time

  • But here's a reminder though

  • Don't get too invovled

  • that you barely have time to eat or sleep

  • Number three

  • Start building your personal brand

  • This is something

  • you should spend your whole life doing as well

  • If you have not started thinking about

  • where you'll be after you graduate

  • or how to market yourself to get there

  • RIGHT NOW is the time to start

  • Building your personal brand means

  • to get your name out there

  • and viewing yourself as a startup

  • You want people to know

  • who you are

  • what you're good at

  • and what you want to do

  • A successful personal brandship includes

  • A tailored resume

  • A website that lists your achievements

  • A well-established social media presence

  • and most important of all

  • A network of people who can help you

  • and you can help them in return

  • The network of people

  • is always the hardest to build

  • since it'll take a long time

  • but it is the most important as well

  • You'll be building relationships for your entire life

  • And for good reason

  • Having relationships with people

  • will open doors

  • I hope with these tips

  • You can start your semester strongly

  • and get a headstart ahead of others
