5. Organization skills
In order to be successful in college, you must become organized. This can mean many different things: scheduling your time, creating an assignment calendar, utilizing to-do lists, using binders with tabs or creating folders on the computer for each class. Being organized can help alleviate the stress that you feel; when you know where to go to access everything and have a plan in place, you will feel more relaxed.
Also, try meeting or speaking with a Learning Center Coordinator if you need a little extra push getting organized. Organization will ensure you are on-task and completing all assignments on-time—this is a crucial skill you will utilize in school and in the workplace.
