Ever wonder what it takes to be truly successful as a college student? By truly successful I mean not only get good grades, but also get a great experience!<\/p>\n

As a sophomore at St. Petersburg College<\/a>, I learned the importance of time management the hard way and I wish I had some better guidance the moment I walked into my first class.<\/p>\n

Professor Ann Marie Gardiner Halstead<\/strong> of St. Lawrence University<\/a> provided 21 tips<\/a> for embarking the higher education journey.\u00a0 She has been a college instructor for fourteen years and I can tell you that these tips are GOLD! These guidelines will help you with getting involved on campus, building relationships with your professor, and developing rock-solid study habits.<\/p>\n

As college students, we sometimes think we\u2019ve got it all figured out; however, we\u2019re in the big leagues now, and Professor Halstead\u2019s tips<\/a> will equip us to be all-stars.<\/p>\n

Check out this article<\/a> and keep these tips in your pocket as you begin to think critically, find your independence, and discover who you really are!<\/p>\n

One of my favorite tip from this article is tip number 19!\u00a0 “Remember that education is the key that will open many doors for you.\u00a0 Don’t take it for granted.\u00a0 Take advantage of every opportunity to learn and grow as a student and person. Know that learning happens both in and outside the classroom. Join a club, attend a performance or guest lecture, volunteer. Now is the time to focus on yourself and your education.”<\/p>\n

When is the last time you took advantage of the many opportunities that are available on campus?<\/p>\n

There are multiple Clubs and Organizations available for all St. Petersburg College students!\u00a0 Take a look through this list<\/a> to find an organizations and\/or club that fits your interests!\u00a0 Remember, participating in clubs and organizations looks great on your resume!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
