Successful students have goals
Succeeding in college is rather like succeeding in life:
- It’s really much more about you than it is about college. The most important place to start is to consider why you’re here, what matters to you, and what you expect to get out it.
- Students who have long term life and career goals see college as one step towards achieving their goals.
- There may be times you feel like giving up or you just don’t feel like going to class, reading your textbook, or writing that paper.
- Goals help you set priorities and remain motivated and committed to your college success.
