How to manage your time in college effectively??? (Part 3)

College is all about building your personality and enhancing your character and be able to gain real life experiences but how can you manage your time effectively in it to gain the most benefit?!!. In the last two articles we mentioned some time management points, now there is an important point that needs to be addressed. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES or ACTIVE WORKING GROUPS (AWG). This topic is really important for every student in every faculty in every field . Participating in social activity or in any AWG that interest you is really important for almost all students, and the reason for that is the fact that you gain access to interaction with people from different point of views and gain real life experience.

If we took the MUN activity at the GUC for example, it is one of the prestigious activities that are held every year and give the student more chance to research into global politics and to understand how the world is moving around him and to be able to make decisions based on the inputs he has and the policy of the country he represent. Now for someone who would love to work in politics after he graduate that's a dream activity.

We have Bdaya AWG which is one of the most successful groups working at the GUC , it holds revision session for the students before exams , arrange for social and cultural events at the GUC platform and also charitable activities . The same goes for AYB which has proven for the last couple of years to be the most charitable AWG in the university. we have aslo Bigbuddy society the oldest club at the GUC. So you see such activities not just build your personality it helps you to gain experience in life itself and to be responsible for a project that helps others.

Some will ask how can this make me manage my time effectively and I would tell them that reducing the wasted hours by applying what was said in article 1,2 will make more time for you to participate in any activity of the Above. Also note that such activities are as important as studying and for some companies maybe more important because of their shaping to your character and experience. Also if you have such activity on your schedule it will break the weekly routine of college and make you more applicable to study because focusing only on studying will result in your breakdown at the end. Too much of anything is wrong.

Finally what I want to say at the end of this series of Articles is , you are the one who Manage your time and decide what to do , no one else . I am only offering you advice and if you happened to find more effective way apply it and share it with others

GUC Engineering 2012-2013 Newcomers Advice's

1) The first year is the most important year , you will be studying few number of courses each semester and each course will have large number of credit hours like mathematics which weighs 8 credit hours , so You need to score a high grade in the first year and believe me when I say that the first year is the easiest so if you got a A or A+ in your first year rest assured that this will help you during your next 4 years plus if you adjusted yourself to a studying style that guarantees to you a good grade you will stick to this style for the next years in college as you will be adapted to it. 2) If you are the kind of person who studies only 2 weeks before exams , this will NOT work at the GUC and will cause you sometimes to fail some courses if you are not usually a studying person type so in order to avoid this , Please study week by week and finish what you have first , sometimes you will have deadlines that will make you postpone studying for some time and this is normal at t

The Three Musketeers Who Created The TakeoffApps

I was sitting in my room Managing the Newcomers 31- GUC Facebook group when I saw a post that grasped my full attention , you see I was trying for the past two weeks to establish something like a student book with the aid of insider and some GUC friends so that whenever a newcomer enter the GUC he would just surf the book and all the information is there , but then I saw this post on the group " The GUC Student Hand Book by Takeoffapps ". Someone has actually made it , someone put an effort and created finally a student handbook for the university and it even gets better ; the moment you open the link you see the effort of the three brilliant talented founders of Takeoffapps , they included almost every aspect about the GUC from terminology to GUC goes Berlin which was established only 1 year ago and has been since a great attraction to the newcomers before the enrolled the students. For almost two months I have been trying with the aid of every student in the GUC to answe
