To many seniors, during your last year you tend to look back and remember all of the<\/p>\n

memories in college, all the good, the bad and everything in between. College is a time to learn,<\/p>\n

make mistakes, and if done right, you would do it the same way all over again. There are many<\/p>\n

things that I have learned during my time in Farmingdale. Here are just a few.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first thing I learned in college is to put your school work first. College is a time to<\/p>\n

have fun, hang out with friends, but school should always be a top priority. The main reason you<\/p>\n

are in college is to get an education. Prioritizing your time to study or do assignments is the key<\/p>\n

to passing your classes. When I first started my education at Farmingdale I did not know how to<\/p>\n

prioritize my time. My grades suffered for it, but when I took the time to study , especially on<\/p>\n

Fridays, my grades improved. There were times that I had to sacrifice my entire weekend just to<\/p>\n

study for an exam. It was not something I wanted to do ,but it takes me one step closer to the<\/p>\n

dream.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The next thing I learned in college was the study method that was performed in high<\/p>\n

school is not going to cut it in college. College exams need to be studied for, and not last minute<\/p>\n

such as the day before. You need to be organized as well. A smart woman once told me that<\/p>\n

organization is the key to success. This goes into the category of prioritizing your school work.<\/p>\n

Besides putting in the time, an important thing to do is ask for help from your professors and<\/p>\n

Tutors. This is not something many people in high school did, but it can help you. There are many<\/p>\n

services such as AAIC and the Tutoring Center that can assist you. Once you realize that time and<\/p>\n

effort needs to be put in to succeed, there is nothing that can stop you from your goals<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One thing that I learned pretty early in college is to become involved. I became a<\/p>\n

Rambassador my second semester. This leadership program allowed me to interact with many<\/p>\n

different people on this campus, such as President Nader, Kathy Coley, Dr. Johnson, the<\/p>\n

wonderful women Michelle and Regina from the Alumni Association, and most importantly Nicole<\/p>\n

Miller, Rob Cremmins, and Katy Tatzel.\u00a0 All of these people have taught me things that I will<\/p>\n

bring along with me after college. The most important thing they taught me is hard work and<\/p>\n

dedication is the key to happiness and success. And \u201cdon’t forget to smile\u201d – Rob Cremmins.<\/p>\n
