No one suffers from the superman complex more than college students. They are young, strong, energetic, and ready to take on the world. While it's true that most students make it through alive, the consequences of their lifestyle will take a toll. As boring and adult as it sounds, staying healthy in college sure has its benefits! Check it out.
Johnny liked to have fun. He was an intelligent, fun-loving kind of guy that everyone liked. That was part of his problem. He liked being around people so much that he always had parties to go to, spontaneous movie nights to attend, and very active social media profiles to keep up on. Although intelligent, unfortunately, the allure of life stole his attention away from homework and towards an exciting college social life. He had managed to scrape his way through classes by guessing wisely, paying attention during class, and BS-ing well. He felt bad about his lack of out-of-class effort, but not quite bad enough to change.
There seem to be two extremes when it comes to college diets. The first: eat every piece of junk food you can get your hands on. The second: eat nothing but rice cakes. Alright, so those are a bit extreme and naturally there are variations in-between, but the principle remains the same. It's important to eat normal meals; not dieting or junk-binging. Don't let every meal come from a can or box. You need fresh food, a variety of foods, and the proper portions as well.
There are several major learning styles and you may fall into two or more, so finding the right combination is really about trial and error, but it is very important to actively try each one and notice how much you are able to retain by the end. This means you should try learning by listening to someone else read out loud for audio learning. Try learning something by taking hands on approach for the kinesthetic learning style. Lastly try writing out diagrams in order to visualize things. All of these can help you get ahead but it is important that you pay attention to the ones that work for you the most. Sometimes you can make them work in combinations and that can really enhance your learning experience all-together.
He only had twelve hours left before class. Sleeping was not going to be an option tonight. The next morning, a haggard, nervous Johnny handed in his paper. He hoped the other three papers due within the next two weeks would be easier. They were not. Each paper he met with the same horror. So much work and research were required and he no longer had the time. Each paper he handed in with dread. If only he had done the readings, read the syllabus earlier on, and started writing earlier!
Another thing students tend to forget about is hygiene. Hygiene is not just for looks (although that's true too). You need to keep your body and your apartment clean to ward off the swarm of germs, viruses, and bacteria that like to invade. Wash your hands often and clean your apartment - especially the kitchen! As a healthy, strong college student, you will be ready to experience all the fun and exciting things the education at Fort Collins Colleges has to offer!
