Successful Students

A colleague recently shared a book with me entitled "College in a Can". It contains more than 250 lists of "what's in, who's out, where to, why not, and everything else you need to know about life on campus."It was written by Sandra and Harry Choron and published by Houghton Mifflin.
One of their lists include the 8 simple secrets of successful college students. I thought I would let you in on these secrets and share theme with you. According to the Chorons, successful students:

1. Work efficiently.
2. Try to find classes that interest them.
3. Follow directions.
4. Get enough sleep.
5. Eat well.
6. Learn from their mistakes.
7. Network.
8. Have extensive experience in the areas that interest them.

I think several of these fall into the catagory of common sense. I also believe many of these "secrets" could also be applied to secrets for a successful life or job experience. Whether you are thinking of attending college, are already a student, or just trying to figure out how to make it through each day, keep these tips in mind as you progress through the stages of school, life, and work. How can you go wrong?! :-)
