- Time Management
This is an incredibly important skill everyone should have, as developing the skills to manage your time earlier in life will help you later as you go into college because the workload is heavier and you have to become more self-dependent. To better manage your time, you should prepare a weekly schedule of everything that needs to get done as well as your class times, studying habits, and time with friends.
- Stress Management
In college, you will inevitably become overwhelmed so it is important that everyone knows how to manage your stress. Through regular exercise, enough rest, good nutrition, or meditation, you will become a less stressed person or will be able to more effectively manage stressful situations.
- Money Management
As you go to college and into the real world, It is important to have experience in independently handling money, balancing a checkbook, using an ATM, reading a bank statement and learning to make responsible decisions about living on a budget.
- Respecting the Rules and Policies
Every community has rules and policies and college is no different. These policies apply to safety and in helping develop a positive community where all students are respectful of themselves, others, and the environment.
- Keeping Safe and Avoiding Risky Behaviors
In college, everyone is expected to be more independent so it is important that you stay safe and are aware of your surroundings at all times. Staying safe means learning to advocate for your well being. It means making smart and low-risk choices and planning for the “what ifs” in life.
