TOP FRESHMAN TIPS - Not only survive but to thrive your college years

TOP FRESHMAN TIPS - Not only survive but to thrive your college years.
 

First year in college? Few Top Freshman Tips that'll help you survive your college years.

Perhaps you were class president in high school. Or perhaps you were a member of the honor society. You could have graduated in the top percentile of your graduating class; perhaps you were even valedictorian. High school suceess doesnt automatically apply to your college life.

It is like a clean slate and you have to start over it all again. Every fresher finds it difficult to adjust and survive in the college, so here are few tricks that'll not only help you survive but also to thrive in college.

1. Know the people around:

It is the first and the basic trick that'll help you make friends and will make you feel comfortable. Remember, friends are the lifelines of college life. Meet at least one new person in each of your classes. It'll expand your network of friends and will also be a crucial resource at times when you miss your classes.

2. Attend orientation sessions:

Donot miss any of the orientations, they'll help you know alot more about the campus. The faster you learn your way around campus the more at ease you'll feel and the better prepared you'll be when issues arise.

3. Organize yourself:

Want to set things right? Just organize your work and simplify things. Buy an organizer, use an app, or get a big wall calendar - whatever it takes for you to know when assignments are due.

4. Go to the classes:

Obvious, right? Maybe, but sleeping in and skipping that 8 am class will be tempting at times. Avoid the temptation. Besides learning the material by attending classes, you'll also receive vital information from the professors about what to expect on tests, changes in due dates, etc.

5. Meet with your professors:

Always remember to have a healthy relationship with all the teachers. They could provide you with any sort of help, information that'll help you in numberless ways.

6. Get involved on campus:

A big problem for a lot of new students is a combination of homesickness and a feeling of not quite belonging. A solution? Consider joining a selective group and be careful not to go overboard of student organizations, clubs, or sports teams. You'll make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your college.

7. Strive for good grades: Another obvious one here, right? Setting up some goals for yourself and then making sure you work as hard as you can to achieve them is the key to acheive.

8. Take advantage of the study resources on campus: 

Just like all the colleges have learning labs and libraries available you could definately use the avaible resources in case you're having any problems. You can also form your own study groups.

9. Make time for you:

Be sure you set aside some time and activities that help you relax and take the stress out of your day or week. Whether it's enlisting yoga techniques, watching your favorite television shows, or writing in a journal, be good to yourself. 

Most upcoming question -Admission Withdrawal procedure? By Charu Chellani

Most upcoming question -

  Admission Withdrawal procedure??

                                

After getting internship as a student Counselor in a reputed firm that is TIMES OF INDIA .I am happy and privileged to be here because i realized that i got an opportunity where i am able to  increase my knowledge about admission procedures of colleges, various questions of upcoming college students, best colleges-their courses and ranks.

These questions which are regularly ask by students to us make me remind those days when i was in the same situation and confused regarding many questions like which university is best ? Which course i should opt? I m doing right or not? Etc etc .

After answering many questions , i found that students are confused and do not know the admission withdrawal procedure.

Their questions :-

What is the procedure of cancellation of admission ?

How we can withdraw admission from  colleges?

How many times we are able to withdraw admission from colleges?

Fees will be refundable or not?

Is there any deduction in amount of refundable fees?

Admission withdrawal in Delhi University keeps the hope floating among students .This rule and facility helping many students to get admission in their desired college and course.

Procedure:-

If you are getting better college in next cut -off then you can easily cancel your admission from one college and get back certificates and fees and able to take admission in another college.

In first cut off ,if you are getting admission in college either desired college or not ,grab it, because vacancy in another college will always fill by students who already grab the seats and first priority will be given to you only inspite of new students. Now  in second cut off ,you are getting your selected college and desired course then you need to first cancel and withdraw your admission.

First,Go to college where you have taken admission earlier ,then fill form for the withdraw of admission .

Second, after filling the form, follow the cancellation procedure of respected college. 

Third,after completion of cancellation procedure ,collect your document which you submitted during your admission in college like mark sheets

,certificates etc

Fourth,then fill form for the refund of Fees .Fees will refund by college on the same day or after 1-2 weeks after no deduction or deduction of rs 250-500 according to the rules of respected college.

Now Get set ,ready go with the shoes on to your desired college and again follow the admission procedure,which is like a climbing on a mountain with no experience....hahahaha!!!!!!

Students can withdraw admissions for many times ,till they will not get their favourite and dream college ,there is no bounded and restricted number of withdrawal by DU.

BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!

Making Memories By Rashmeet

Making Memories

 If you’re a college-bound high school junior or senior, this holiday break will probably find you completing campus visits, filling out forms, gearing up for the big test day, and completing any number of other tasks.

Take a moment amidst the chaos to mentally fast forward 3 year,to your farewell. What gifts will you take back from college with you?-The memories! Its good to have memories and even better to be able to recall them. No one would like to have vague recollections of the best phase of their life,isn't it?

So,here's a complete guide not only to make your college memorable but enshrined! 

1.Click Pictures

Click pictures to store memories and not just uploading on Facebook. Everybody tells you to record all the significant moments of your college life on camera, but I'd suggest you to click every mundane thing,click your routine tasks,click your messy dorm, click the tasteless food of your canteen, because you are going to miss everything once you pass out!

 Also,wouldn't you want to show your kids the pictures while narrating them you epic stories ?;)

 2. Preserve concrete things

The field visit. the historical trip, the nature walk- they all have an entry ticket. Try saving things like! Even though they seem ordinary bits of paper right now, someday in your life-they'll take you back to college days, and trust me that will be nostalgic!

3. Scrap-booking

Once you’re settled into your dorm set aside a junk drawer for random news clippings, orientation pamphlets, student ID cards, and other memorabilia. Later you can organize everything in a “Freshman Year” album that will reduce your mom to tears…in a good way.

4 Plan get to-gathers

Instead of just telling your friends(outsider the college) and family the heroic saga of your college times, invite them to your wonderland itself! Don't go hunting places for reunions, rather plan it in your own campus and have gala time.Call your friends and family to attend college fests!

COLLEGE GOERS WASTING MONEY By Mudita Jha

COLLEGE GOERS WASTING MONEY

-Expensive Text books As freshers one don't know the exact scenario, this is a common mistake in the initial days. They spend bucks on expensive books, which have no use post few months. So the expensive ones can be taken on rent, than spending fortunes on them.
- Personal vehicle to boast Students who use public conveyance in their college life save pretty good sum of money in those 3-4 years. Like parking charges, sky rising petrol prices plus few mandatory accidents :D So yeah.
-Food Trust me or not, but this is the biggest factor that burns hole in one's pocket. Foooooood. Be it canteen, new food outlets, bunks, parties everything; people spend money like water on food. And later they regret.
-Credit card Use cash rather than using a credit card, else by the end of month you'll be deep down in debt, which can't be compensated.
Last but not least. - A relationship Nothing's more expensive than a girlfriend/boyfriend. Dates, gifts (to be precise one week anniversary gift, First hug anniversary gift, Valentine's gift, this gift that gift) :p everything. Beware guys.
But rest of all, just chill. After all, now you're in college so you must have got huge hike in your pocket-money. So enjoy.

College Life in Delhi University By Sahej Taneja

College Life in Delhi University:

Well, I can't sum up my experience in Delhi University in one article because I have so much to tell about it. Delhi University has framed me in a different way.
When I entered in my college life, I was totally different from what i am today.
Almost every student has a dream to get into Delhi univerisity, one of the best and oldest universities in India. Delhi univesity comprises of lots of colleges and faculties making it popular and a dream to be accomplished by a lot of students.
The DU dream which I took up 2 years back began with a metro ride to e-rickshaws roaming in the streets of north campus.
Today, in SGTB Khalsa COLLEGE, i am about to begin my last year. When I think about it I feel sad because this is the last year in my college but at the same I feel happy when I look at myself as a changed person and all the memories of my college life in du.
From bunking classes, to calling teachers by different names, from being with our lecturers as  our  friends to eating junctions, from attending classes but sleeping at the back seat to chilling in the canteen. Each and every moment of these 2 years had been like a spark in my life.
Delhi university except of studies have a good level of curricullar activities like dramatics, bhangra teams , dance teams , painting , baskeetball , football , singing, cricket and a lot more.
Every college has different societies within their colleges which give students a chance to enhance and be in contact with activities depending on their interest.
Fests, annual functions, street plays, nukad naatak are few favourite elements of students of Delhi University. ANTARDHWANI is the biggest fest of Delhi University and students are crazy to attend it.
Delhi university also has certificate courses and diploma in various streams like foreign language, music etc.
Even i am pursuing Spanish diploma from Delhi University and I am satisfied by its faculty.
I cherish my life in du and today I can proudly say that I am a student of DELHI UNIVERSITY.
