How to achieve academic success in college?

To ensure success in college, consider the following useful college tips:


  • Select course carefully
  • The most common reason to get failed in college life is the selection of a course, which is not suited to one's talent, abilities and capabilities. Oftentimes, students choose the course because of recommendations from friends, parents, relatives and online reviews. The best way to pick out the right course is to hear your inner voice. Yes, you need to choose courses that interest and make you feel good while learning and practicing it. The courses should surely be related to something that you really want to do in future or after the college and you also like practicing or learning them. In this way, you will enjoy what you do and perform well in your courses, which will all add up to a successful academic performance and success.
  • Keep track of the curriculum
  • All students need a copy of the curriculum, which lists all the required subjects, unit credit for each, pre-requisites, and the semester or trimester subjects that are offered. This allows students to plan and keep track of completed subjects. It is important as it helps in making a successful, continuos and progressive planning. 
  • Learn to Manage Your Time
  • Students should learn to manage the time allotted for school, home responsibilities and social life, as well as work schedule for some. The use of a digital or ordinary organizer may help. Students working 20 hours a week should not take more than nine units, while those spending 30 hours at work per week should only carry six credits per semester. 
  • Practice Effective Study Habits
  • All college students have vacant periods-use of it for preparing assignments, completing projects and advance readings. Reading lessons immediately after class also allows students to retain more information than doing it after some time.
  • Establish Connections
  • Being in the right company usually helps. These people can provide the necessary information, learning materials as well as advice needed to cope with various requirements. Important connections may also include class advisers, counselors and administrative personnel. Establishing connections not just benefit you till classes but it will also help you in your future growth. 
  • Seek professional help when needed
  • College life may be overwhelming and may require the help of professionals. Take note that all academic institutions provide medical, psychological and other forms of support to each of their students.


Survival in college may be as simple as following the enumerated tips and soliciting the support of parents, siblings, relatives, and friends. Moreover, with self-discipline, the dream of obtaining a college degree may be within reach.

How Do You Fight Stress?


How do you fight stress? Here are some ways:

Eat foods rich in Vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 is a well-known vitamin in helping your body relax and fight stress. So when you are feeling the pressure at work or your life at home, make sure to consume foods such as green leafy vegetables, fish, and eggs that are rich in Vitamin B2. These foods will help eliminate stress, and also the chances of the development of acne on your skin.
Exercise regularly. Regular exercises also help alleviate the effects of stress. When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which help improve your mood. With a positive mood, you will notice a significant drop in your stress levels. Plus, exercising will also help improve your self-esteem by giving you a great-looking body.
Escape from stress. Whether it is a boring routine or work-related stress, you deserve the chance to get away from these stressors from time to time. Now if you feel trapped, all you need is to take a vacation or take a break from your routine. Once you return, you will feel refreshed, recharged, and ultimately, stress-free. Without stress, you won’t have to worry about pimples breaking out once again.
Seek help. You cannot carry the weight of the world on your shoulders—and you don’t have to. If you are feeling particularly stressed at home or at work, talking to somebody you trust always works. Whether you just need somebody to listen to you, or someone who can give you with sage advice, being able to have someone to tell your problems to will be a great way to deal with stress.

Hair Dressing Styles- Easy and Quick


Here are seven fabulous and easy ways to do your hair when you’re pressed for time. Your hair will look hot, and no one will ever know you slept in!
Get Rid of Greasy Hair
1. Get Rid of Grease
Beat oily “second day” hair with this easy trick: grab some baby powder if you’re light-haired or matte bronzer if you’re a brunette and apply it to your roots with a big fluffy makeup brush. This absorbs grease and makes your hair look fresh. Then just fix any stray strands with a flat iron; shake out your hair and go.

2. Slip on a Headband
For an elegant style that’s so Blair on Gossip Girl, smooth out your hair with a brush, then pull on a wide headband to cover up messier strands and look instantly polished. 
Messy Bun Hairstyle
3. Do a Messy Bun
This is the basic go-to staple for most college girls because it takes two seconds. Gather your hair on top of your head and wrap an elastic band around 2-3 times. Next, shape the bun with a few bobby pins that match your hair color, pull out a few ends to make it messier, and finish with a spray of hairspray.

4. Try Chopstick Hair
This style only looks difficult.. it’s actually insanely easy to do. You don’t need actual chopsticks for this look – special hair sticks or even a pencil will work in a pinch.

5. Make a Chic Ponytail
If your hair is curly, use a little anti-frizz cream first. If you have straight locks, scrunch in curl cream to bring out some waves. Tease hair at the crown then pull into a low ponytail. Leave a ½ inch strand out and secure the ponytail with a clear elastic. Wrap the extra strand around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin.

6. Do a Front Hair Poof
This popular hairstyle is a great way to hide bangs you might be growing out, and is also very simple to do. Just separate the section of hair from temple to temple, tease it with a fine-toothed comb and secure with two bobby pins in an X. If your hair won’t stay in the bobby pins, tease the section more or use four pins.
