Some people never learn effective study habits in high school. So, they may struggle through their first semester of college. A student should figure out how he/she studies the best. Many people cannot create a quality essay at four in the morning with the music playing and the television on. Although poor study habits may cause the student to struggle, which results in unhappiness, he/she can become connected by joining clubs, music groups, or sports that will help a person make more friends while balancing their life, making them a happier student. So, students should get involved! School does not have to be just about schoolwork. One should find an activity that his school offers, and he/she should join if their schedule allows. Yet, some people have a harder time adjusting to school than other people and may feel that success is impossible. However, a student can be successful in many ways, such as by being on time for class, keeping an assignment notebook, and managing time.

For a student to be successful, he/she must begin by getting to class on time. To do this, he/she should make next morning preparations on the night before, such as ironing their garments on the night before class, this will save at least five to ten minutes in the morning, and he/she may use that time to do something else. Always make sure there is gas in the car so he/she will not have to waste more time going to the gas station. Next, one should purchase an alarm clock and batteries if they don't already have one. Or like many people these days, just use the alarm clock on their phone. After completing the buying process, he/she must set this clock at least two hours before their first class is scheduled to begin. He/she should set the alarm to wake him/her with the annoying “beep, beep, beep” sound rather than the sound of soothing music. You must also resist the urge to hit the snooze button, which could cause you to be late for class if it is hit
