Hey Freshers,

This is what you should know before starting your college life:

A HUGE THREAD🧵👇

1. You should focus on building your skills

You are not paying the tuition fee for partying/enjoying/making friends.

Although they are necessary, but don't forget about the endgame.

2. Try something new

Do what you always wanted to do during your school life.

Try Dancing.
Try Singing.
Learn a new instrument.
In short, try to learn a new skill.

It will help you build your personality and gain confidence.

3. Don't let your old hobbies die.

Your hobbies define who you are.
They differentiates you from the others.

4. Focus on personality development.

Trust me, anyone can get the "college education" at home.

The only thing that college is helpful for, is personality development.

Learn social skills, learn Soft-Skills (google it)

5. Know that you are not going to be spoon-fed.

School is not Equal to College.

You are gonna have to do everything on your own.

6. Your friend circle will define who you'll become.

Make friends with people who have the same goals and aspirations as you.

7. Maintain a CGPA >= 8

It will ensure that you can sit in every placement drive.

8. Start coding from your first year itself.

Don't wait for your college.
Don't wait for your friends.

Start Coding, Make Projects, Find Internships.

9. Maintain a balance between College exams, friends and skill building.

10. Build a good relationship with professors.

Don't mess with them to look cool in front of the classmates.

11. Like this tweet. Retweet it. Follow me.

12. Understand that the curriculum is obsolete.

YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN THE NEW AND NECESSARY STUFF YOURSELF.

13. Start attending workshops/meetups/hackathons from the first year itself.

14. Try to stay away from drugs/alcohol/smoking

People will try to convince you.
It is up to your will power to not come into their influence.

My theory: Say no to first time

If you have any questions, drop them below.
I'll be happy to answer you.
