No one suffers from the superman complex more than college students. They are young, strong, energetic, and ready to take on the world. While it's true that most students make it through alive, the consequences of their lifestyle will take a toll. As boring and adult as it sounds, staying healthy in college sure has its benefits! Check it out.
Johnny liked to have fun. He was an intelligent, fun-loving kind of guy that everyone liked. That was part of his problem. He liked being around people so much that he always had parties to go to, spontaneous movie nights to attend, and very active social media profiles to keep up on. Although intelligent, unfortunately, the allure of life stole his attention away from homework and towards an exciting college social life. He had managed to scrape his way through classes by guessing wisely, paying attention during class, and BS-ing well. He felt bad about his lack of out-of-class effort, but not quite bad enough to change.
There seem to be two extremes when it comes to college diets. The first: eat every piece of junk food you can get your hands on. The second: eat nothing but rice cakes. Alright, so those are a bit extreme and naturally there are variations in-between, but the principle remains the same. It's important to eat normal meals; not dieting or junk-binging. Don't let every meal come from a can or box. You need fresh food, a variety of foods, and the proper portions as well.
The first paper rolled around. The night before it was due, he finally gathered the will to write. He'd just sit down, throw out some flowery writing peppered with principles he had learned in class and that would be that. As he reviewed the syllabus for the paper's guidelines, he began realizing that his regular last-minute writing might not cut it. He was required to include fifteen reliable sources, including three personal interviews, and several examples from the text they had been assigned.
He only had twelve hours left before class. Sleeping was not going to be an option tonight. The next morning, a haggard, nervous Johnny handed in his paper. He hoped the other three papers due within the next two weeks would be easier. They were not. Each paper he met with the same horror. So much work and research were required and he no longer had the time. Each paper he handed in with dread. If only he had done the readings, read the syllabus earlier on, and started writing earlier!
In the end these simple little tips will help you find, try, and ultimately implement your learning style in the real world. Make sure that you are ready to give up some of the institutionalized habits you have picked up along the way.
