Others spend the entire time alternating between various stages of drunkenness and hungover. I think both ends of the spectrum are a bit too extreme.If you want to be happy, you have to learn how to balance your responsibilities with the things you do for fun. In that spirit, here are some versatile ways you can get the most out of your time in college, and be happier both during and after the experience.___1___Whether it’s simply having someone proofread your final paper or getting in-depth help with a complex calculus equation, taking advantage of the tutoring opportunities your campus has to offer is a great way to boost your course grades.Likewise, if you find you are particularly skilled when it comes to understanding a certain subject, consider applying to be a tutor to other students. These positions could be either volunteer or paid, but either way they look great on your resume and explaining the material to someone else can help you remember it even better.Find your study space.___2___Those are the places where you sleep, relax and hang out with friends, so it makes sense that you might feel less-than- productive if you try to do work there, too.Scope out the library or the nooks and crannies(到处) of your student union building to find your ideal working space. Most campuses have a variety of student lounges, designated quiet areas and department-specific study rooms.Find a study space that is ideal for your noise preferences and creative inspiration and make it a habit to do chunks of your homework there. It’ll be easier for you to concentrate and you’ll retain information better.Read over your credit requirements freshman year.In order to prioritize and get the most out of your college education, you should read over your credit requirements as a freshman. It really doesn’t take much time (maybe 15 minutes?) and it will do wonders for how you plan out the next few years of your life.Sometimes students get to their last semester, only to realize that they missed a necessary graduation requirement or overlooked a specific category course they needed to take.___3___I can’t think of a single university or college that doesn’t bring guest speakers and lecturers to campus for its students. Take advantage of these unique opportunities to learn something new and maybe even meet some really cool people. Even the more famous of guest speakers who talk on college campuses are willing to shake hands and answer questions after their talk.Check out your school’s calendar of upcoming events and get a group of students from your major or dorm to attend an event with you. Lots of professors will even offer extra credit if you can prove you attended (save your ticket stubs or take pictures!).Get your experimental phase out of the way.___4____ College is a great time to do this because you’re unrestricted from the rules of high school and your parents, and because you haven’t yet entered a professional career. It’s the perfect time cut your hair the way you’ve always wanted and get your nose pierced.Of course, if you plan to work in a highly-professionalized industry, make sure you can either remove or hide any extreme modifications you make to your personal appearance (i.e. if you get your arms covered in tattoos, be ready to more-than- likely wear long sleeves the rest of your working life.)Similarly, if you want to experiment with various recreational activities, do so safely and in accordance with the law. Do not start BASE jumping off of your school’s academic buildings or trying your hand at graffiti in the student parking lot. Bad idea.Talk to other students.This one’s for all the introverts out there. Please resist the urge to hide in your textbooks for your entire four years of undergrad. You’re likely missing out on opportunities to make some lifelong friends.___5___ Just try talking to other students in your classes or in your dorm. You might be surprised how many other people out there share your interests and hobbies and are just too afraid to say hi.Take an internship.Some college majors require internships and some don’t. Regardless of whether or not it’s required for you to graduate, you should try your hardest to get an internship related to your major.Even if you have to take an unpaid internship, you can often substitute your internship for a class, which can help you graduate on or ahead of schedule. What’s more, studies show that internships play a key role in deciding which undergrads get hired right out of college, and which struggle to find jobs.How did you get the most out of your time in college? Would you have done anything differently? I’d love to read your thoughts in the comments section below!
