surviving uni..

Being a student is tough. Especially when you're studying in one of the top universities either overseas or local institutions. Even if you're among the top students,, 'the cream of the cream' as most people would say,, doesn't mean that you'll survive in your future studies.

I've been studying for almost three months now and "I'd say its one hell of a ride" . Having minimum of two labs each week,, with preparations to be done beforehand plus problem sheets that keep coming at you with datelines to keep. HELL YEAHH!!

Now that I think of it,, this is one of the reasons interviews are being done for scholarships. In fact, some universities did interviews as well to ensure that we students are on the right track (they've reputations to maintain - students failing courses aren't an option).

So future students out there,, here's some useful advice from me..

1. Apply for courses that you're really interested in,, not because your parents ask you to. Ask yourself what do you enjoy doing,, what are the things that you look forward to. Its important to be passionate about your studies to be successful in future
2. Plan your time wisely and postponing your assignments, coursework etc. too much is a no no!! Procrastinating leads to last-minute work which results in low marks and understanding. It's important to try obtain highest marks as possible for you coursework as it will help you with percentage in your final exams.
3. Be mentally and physically prepared.

And finally,, no matter what happens keep moving forward. Life has its up and down,, but that's not an excuse for you to weep and blame yourself or others. Give it your best shot at everything you do,, insyaAllah success will come straight at you!!
