MY TRANSITION FROM HNM TO UNIVERSITY

LESSONS/SKILLS I LEARNED & ACHIEVED FROM HNM Time management (SHSM, Clubs,

Homework, Extra Curriculars, 8 subjects) Study habits Habit of handing assignments on time Plagiarism Ability to work together Handling stressful situations Course material

THINGS I WISHED I LEARNED BEFORE UNIVERSITY How to write a good paper How to properly self-study Importance of studying as a group How to properly read the readings Exams vs. Term work

ADVICE/TIPS Get used books (sell them after) Use the programs/services found in your

University/College There are practice exams in the library Go to Frosh Week Join a club or a sport

ADVICE/TIPS Google your Profs - Timetable Marks/ Average will dramatically drop Know what you want Don’t forget to drop the books and have

fun

Stay humble, remember the purpose of attending university, and identify what is

your passion

Remember to keep yourself sane by having an outlet like exercise or

journaling or whatever… there will be a lot rough days

Eat healthy (avoid the freshmen 15) and when you fail; get back up and try

harder because not one person succeeds by being harnessed with the

fear of failure

Take university seriously, don’t wait till the last minute, that is when it

gets really hard

Any Questions?
