Ask any adult how often s/he uses what s/he has been taught at school or university. Ask to calculate the logarithm or derivative, multiply or divide three-digit numbers without a calculator – even these simple operations cause difficulties for most graduates.
Therefore, academic knowledge is definitely necessary, and often useful, but the college and the university can teach you such things that you would never have done before. Here are five of the most important skills any college may teach you.
Search and Find a Way out of Any Situation
A modern training program does not imply a single free minute. Students receive dozens of voluminous assignments every day, and it is impossible to physically cope with them alone. Student savvy is useful for this. And overall, college teaches you to find solutions from the most difficult situations. For example, it is always realistic to ask someone to “write my essay for me,” pay for it and sleep calmly.
To Be Honest
In the continuation of the preceding paragraph, the college teaches the understanding that being cunning, flexible, and resourceful does not mean being a cheater or appropriating other people’s achievements. And by the way, the aforementioned qualities are excellent when studying in college. Even if the essay was purchased, it does not negate the need to study its content and be ready to answer questions.
Respect People
When you study in college, you automatically find yourself in a multi-environment, which consists of people who come from different cities and countries. All of them have their goals, support individual spiritual values, believe in different gods, or do not believe in them. It is this cultural pluralism that makes it possible to learn to respect people, their opinions, views, goals, and ways to achieve them.
Prioritize
It has been said so many times about the versatility of student life, that there is no point in going back to it again. However, the essence does not change. It is impossible to tear oneself apart between study, sports, the university’s extracurricular life, entertainment, friends, and personal relationships. Therefore, college teaches you to set the right priorities. Today, from morning to night, your priority is training, tomorrow you need to be present at the university football team gathering, and this is a priority. This is a very important skill to be able to determine the main thing at the moment.
Build Relationships
The college teaches another important thing – a good relationship between people is almost a guarantee in the success of any business. It is important to have a good relationship with everyone in college. It is important to find a common language with senior students since only they can tell what to prepare for and, for example, warn about teacher leaps. It is important to have a good relationship with this instructor since it is beneficial to have his approval when you are in sports training tomorrow. It is important to be friends with classmates, with whom you can always ask about the latest events at the lecture if you missed something. Finally, it is important to be friends with your campus neighbours. Otherwise, your life runs the risk of becoming hell. The conclusion is as follows – you will not graduate from college without communication skills of 100 level.
This is not all useful things that can be learned in college. A college education is a real life, and after graduating from it, you will never be the same person. Fortunately, all acquired skills and knowledge will remain with you forever, so use them wisely in adult life.
