I\u2019ve noticed that after my first article I haven\u2019t talked about things related to school\ud83e\udd14\ud83d\udcda.

Growing up, that wasn\u2019t really my plan. Choosing a career was really hard\ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2640\ufe0f. Maybe one day I\u2019ll make a post about that. During my senior year, with a little help from my sister in law, I have decided to go for Business management\ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffe. I\u2019ve gotten sick at the end of the school\u2019s year and I had spent my entire summer plus the first semester after that going to the hospital 4 times a month\ud83d\udc94It was hard. Despite the situation, I have applied to one of the best colleges in the country. Due to my health issues, I couldn\u2019t study. I was like \u201cyou know what, I will not give up, I will take the exam and do my best\u201d. The results came up. Over 600 candidates, 80 people were selected and I was between the 82nd or 85th person on the list (don\u2019t quite remember). Because of that, I didn\u2019t go to college the first semester after graduation. Like I had said before, I truly believe in the saying <em>Everything happens for a reason. <\/em>Although my doctors said I could go to school, God knew that I needed a bit more time to heal. I didn\u2019t cry, didn\u2019t feel down or anything. I stayed home and rested. I\u2019d already decided that I will go again the following year\ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffe. In December, my dad told me that a friend has reached to him and told him that the college I\u2019m currently in was having registrations for the semester of January. I didn\u2019t want to go but my dad insisted and I did. I studied, took the exam and passed. During the first week of integration, my Dean called my name in front of everyone. Being an introvert, I was scared and wanted to dig a hole and get under the ground\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02. But then he pronounced these words that I will never forget : \u201cShe is the person who has scored the highest grade in the exam\u201d. On this day, my journey began\u2728\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-411 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948-1024x1024.jpg?resize=700%2C700&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948.jpg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948.jpg?resize=768%2C768&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948.jpg?resize=88%2C88&ssl=1 88w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948.jpg?resize=900%2C900&ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948.jpg?resize=1280%2C1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/graduation-quote_college_nora-ephron6619545406004582948.jpg?w=1480&ssl=1 1480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>These are my tips for new college students (mostly in Haiti)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #1 Find students whom you have went to school with. <\/strong>Once you get to college, identify the people you recognize. I\u2019d suggest you to try to find someone who have went to the same high school as you. Some people won\u2019t agree with this but let me tell you. These people were once in your shoes. They already know the dos and don\u2019ts. They will be like a guide, a mentor or an advisor to you. They might not be open and that is okay. I thank God that I have found two amazing students when I got to college. They\u2019ve helped me register for my classes and choose the best teachers\ud83d\udc95. Also when it\u2019s time to get ready for your exam, they will be there to answer your questions and help you understand something you\u2019ve missed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #2 Make friends<\/strong>. Not everyone is lucky enough to go to the same college as their high school friends. Whether you are shy or not, you\u2019ll have to make friends. Don\u2019t be a loner and stay in a corner by yourself. College is where you interact with people about life, politics, science, etc\u2026 College is the place for debate. So be open and make friends. You\u2019ll need friends when you have to do group projects. If you\u2019re always alone, trust me nobody will want you to be a part of their group. Thankfully, on my first week, I\u2019ve met some amazing people and we\u2019ve been together ever since\ud83e\udd17.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip # 3 Print out your schedule with the name of your teachers<\/strong>. I always do this and people always think I\u2019m being extra. Once I have registered for my classes, I take a piece of paper and I fix my schedule.I write down the semester, the days of the week, the time of my classes, the title of the course and lastly the name of my teachers. Why?\ud83e\udd14 Because in college, for every single homework, you\u2019ll have to mention your teacher\u2019s name on the cover page. Whenever we have an homework, people are always texting me, asking for the name of the teacher. Don\u2019t be one of those people\u26a0\ufe0f. Make sure you know your teacher\u2019s name and the correct spelling. I print out my schedule and tape it on my closet\u2019s door but if you can\u2019t print it you can do it with a piece of paper and a pencil. Here\u2019s an example below\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffe<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1052\" height=\"567\" class=\"wp-image-433 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/karoslittlecorner.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/04\/screenshot-2-26762372119999117240..jpg?w=1024&resize=1052%2C567\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/screenshot-2-26762372119999117240..jpg?w=1052&ssl=1 1052w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/screenshot-2-26762372119999117240..jpg?resize=300%2C162&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/screenshot-2-26762372119999117240..jpg?resize=1024%2C552&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/screenshot-2-26762372119999117240..jpg?resize=768%2C414&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/screenshot-2-26762372119999117240..jpg?resize=900%2C485&ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1052px) 100vw, 1052px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #4 Don\u2019t be scared of your teachers\ud83d\ude45\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2640\ufe0f. <\/strong>Unlike high school, in college, you are permitted to have a debate with your teacher. Ask questions!! If you don\u2019t agree with what he\/she is saying, you\u2019re allowed to state your opinion. As long as you are RESPECTFUL and can come with facts. Some teachers love interacting with their students, others will be annoyed but you cannot get kicked out for stating your opinion \u26d4RESPECTFULLY\u26d4. Teachers love it when you can come with facts to prove your argument. They will remember your name and you never know, that could come handy when searching for jobs in the future\ud83d\ude09\ud83e\udd2d. Your teacher isn\u2019t there to only share his\/her knowledge, they\u2019re also there to help you develop any type of skills that you\u2019ll need in your field of work. Even if he\/she could seem a little intimidating, they were once a student like you and you aspire to be like them if not better when it comes to earning degrees. So don\u2019t be scared of them but don\u2019t be too friendly either\ud83d\udeab.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #5 Make sure you know how yo use a computer\ud83d\udcaf.<\/strong> If using a computer is a big deal for you, start making a change now. Nowadays, with a little help from YouTube, you can do anything. Go on there, watch videos and try to do everything while you\u2019re learning. You might not need to know how to do everything on a computer but you need to master Microsoft Word and be able to manage Powerpoint and Excel. In College, no homework written with a pen should be handed to your teachers. Even if they accept it, they will ask you to make a cover page and that can only be done on Microsoft Word.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #6 Participate in extra curricular activities\ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udffd\ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udffd. <\/strong>Studying hard is the number one rule in college but you also have to enjoy yourself . Your main focus should be academics but it shouldn\u2019t be your only focus. College shouldn\u2019t be considered as a prison. There are plenty of clubs or activities to do in college whether it\u2019s sports, music, arts, reading\u2026. You need to choose one or two of them based on your schedule. Don\u2019t choose something that will require too much time. What I\u2019ve noticed is that when you participate actively in activities, you\u2019re well known and you might find great opportunities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"366\" class=\"wp-image-414 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/karoslittlecorner.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/04\/coolnsmart-90961202505385838298773.jpg?w=600&resize=600%2C366\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/coolnsmart-90961202505385838298773.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/coolnsmart-90961202505385838298773.jpg?resize=300%2C183&ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #7 Be careful when making friends\ud83d\ude45\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/strong>. Although I said that you need to make friends, you should also be really cautious on who you call your \u201cfriends\u201d. When my family became aware that I was the laureate, that\u2019s the piece of advice that they have given me \u201c<em>Because of your performance, a lot of people will want to be your friend; be careful they aren\u2019t in your life for a good<\/em> <em>reason<\/em>\u201c. I know it\u2019s not easy to know who\u2019s real and who\u2019s not. Some people camouflage themselves and won\u2019t let you even sense that they\u2019re actually snakes (sorry for using this expression). So be careful. Also my brother once told me that in college, not everyone is here for the same reasons. Do not count or rely on people too much. Do your thing!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Tip #8 Go with your rhythm\ud83d\ude43<\/b>. Don\u2019t rush to get over with college cause you\u2019re tired of school\ud83d\ude11. Don\u2019t forget that everything that you\u2019re learning is supposed to guide you through your career path. That\u2019s why you need to go with your rhythm. If you\u2019re in a College where you get to choose your own classes, don\u2019t take multiple classes because your friend is doing so. Go with your rhythm. If you can only take 6 classes, take 6. I know my strength and abilities. There are some semesters where I feel like taking 9 classes would not be healthy for me so I just reduce my schedule until I\u2019m comfortable. Don\u2019t rush!! College isn\u2019t high school. You need maximum understanding of the subject you\u2019re studying.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip # 9 Choose your classes wisely<\/strong>. If your college allows you to choose your classes, be aware of the requirements before choosing any class. Follow the Courses Outline (or cursus in french) . Some classes might be related. Make sure you know which one you need to take first. What I\u2019ve noticed is that some people tend to choose all the easy classes in one semester and the more you go through, the harder it is to pass because your schedule is now way too full and \u201cheavy\u201d. The courses outline is a guiding tool. It\u2019s not a piece of paper you\u2019re just supposed to put away. Just like my schedule, I also have my courses outline taped on my closet\u2019s door. At the end of each semester, I cross off the classes that I\u2019ve passed. Each time I cross off a course, it\u2019s not only satisfying but also motivating as it gives me a clear view of where I am and how long the rest of the road is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip # 10 Sleep well and stay hydrated\ud83d\ude34\ud83d\udde3\ud83d\udde3. <\/strong>Don\u2019t be like me people. I don\u2019t really sleep because most of the times I do my homework or study late at night because that\u2019s when I can focus and even when I don\u2019t have anything to do, I don\u2019t sleep early because my body has now adjusted itself to it. Not getting enough sleep is dangerous. So work hard but also take time to rest and drink plenty of water. <em>The amount of sleep is important, but so is the regularity. There will always be exceptions, but students should aim to keep to a somewhat regular sleep schedule <\/em><strong>(Amy Nelson)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #11 Always back up your homeworks to your phone<\/strong>\u26d4\u26d4\u26d4. Very important!! Once you\u2019re done with your h.w, save it on google drive or just send it to your phone. On my laptop I have a whole folder divided in 6 other folders for the each semester. In each folder I have all my homeworks. There are two reasons why you should that. The first reason is because you need to keep your homeworks in case the teachers lose it and you don\u2019t find your final grade in your report card. The second reason is because in college I\u2019ve noticed that the students always wait until the morning of the due date to go print their homework. Most of the times they have their homework on a jump drive. If you forget your jump, you won\u2019t have to worry because the homework is on your phone. I\u2019m pretty sure you won\u2019t ever forget your phone. So please guys back up your homeworks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #12 : Make your class your top priority. <\/strong>You have decided to go to college because you have a goal. I\u2019m pretty sure that everyone wants to be successful in this life. So you know your goal and you know why you\u2019re there so make it count. Your classes should be your top priority. Once the teacher has entered the class, that\u2019s where you should be. Stop skipping class because there\u2019s a good ambience outside. You\u2019ll have time to have fun. You\u2019ll probably say \u201cI\u2019ll just take the notes from a fellow student\u201d. Some classes require your presence. Being in the classroom, listening to what the teachers have to say and participating are the key to academic success. Grades are often tied to attendance, think about that the next time you want to stay outside instead of going to class\ud83d\ude09\ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tips #13 Use a calendar\ud83d\udcc5.<\/strong> Planning is key. In college, procrastination is our number 1 enemy. The calendar will not only remind you when your homework is due or when you have an exam but it will help you plan your time better. Based on your schedule, I\u2019d suggest you to plan a work habit. Like for example you know that every thursday you have an homework for Mr T. On your calendar you can set a time to do this homework every sunday. Your calendar can be on your phone or you can just buy one. It works and it\u2019s effective.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip #14 Always jump on the opportunity to speak<\/strong>. Once again, college is all about debates. If you\u2019re a shy person like me, make sure to always find an opportunity to speak because it will help you overcome your fear of speaking in public. Although I am shy, I speak loudly and with confidence. How? Because ever since my first semester in college, whenever there\u2019s a group presentation I\u2019m always the one who introduces the work. I also never use a piece of paper when I\u2019m speaking. Once I understand the subject clearly, nothing can stop me. And as shy as I am, I love presentations because I don\u2019t usually participate in debates so teachers don\u2019t really know me but after my presentations I always get compliments. I think that it\u2019s important to try and speak whenever you have the opportunity because in the future, wherever you\u2019ll be working, you\u2019ll be able to present any types of projects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip # 15 Be confident. <\/strong>Lastly and most importantly believe in yourself. Know that you deserve your spot there just like everyone else and you\u2019re going to make the best of it no matter how hard it is. No matter how many things tou have to overcome. <strong><em>Kenbe t\u00e8t ou, kraze b\u00e8t ou epi kw\u00e8 nan t\u00e8t ou <\/em><\/strong><em>(creole for <\/em>Hold your head high, work hard and believe in yourself)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>That\u2019s it for today people\ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffe\ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffe.
