Three years is a long enough time to shape the next fifty years of your life. But, it is totally upon you as to how you want to spend these three years. People say that college years are the most glorious years of your life. Henceforth, are a few tips and points that would help you make these glorious years pass as painlessly as possible.

          The most important part that is going to sustain your existence as a university student is ‘friends’. During the initial two-three months of your first year talk to anyone and everyone. Try to adjust yourself to the comfort zones of other students. Do not be choosy about who you want to be friends with as three years is a very long period to circumstantially change your relationships with people. After the initial two months you should check as to who all fit perfectly in your comfort zone and then try to nurture your relationship with them.

          Teachers are the second most important part. Try your best to not be in their black lists! Teachers, if maintained a good rapport with, will help you in clearing your doubts extensively. They also provide you with printed notes relevant to your subject, which your seniors or friends may not possess. University teachers are far friendlier than school teachers, and often offer help to make your life better. Hence, it is very important to always be in the good books of your teachers.

          Seniors play a very important role of the guiding star in your student life. Whatever you might be experiencing presently must have been felt by any one of your senior in the past. Hence, it is very important to maintain a good relationship with all your seniors. Seniors are useful for many other things as well. They pass on notes whenever required, they give you advice as to how to go about your course, they tell you about your teachers, etc.

          Extra curricular activities play a big role by giving you an identity different from that of a student. The cultural groups serve as a medium for you to interact with students from other courses and develop a rapport with them. These groups apart from recreation also aim at nurturing your talents. So if you have an inborn talent or wish to act, debate, ramp-walk or dance, you should enroll yourself in one of these groups.  

          All this being said, one last pointer would be to be genuine in whatever you do or say. Your fellow students can smell the smallest hint of exaggeration.

          If all these points are followed then it can be assured that your college life will end up to be the best part of your life.

          BEST OF LUCK!!
