Things to do before leaving college life.

Now you're grown-up, taking the responsibility of your every action independently, confused about options and opportunities and wondering about what could happen in near future.

First, I thought college life will be the longest period in my life. in contrast, the fact is it was the fastest; more than an important event was happening at the same period, and all you have to do is adopting and become more and more flexible.

Second, I thought about several critical issues, I faced during my short journey and I thought it would be everyone's concern. So, I'd like to give you some of my short life experience.

Here are the issues: 

Try everything and figure out what exactly you're fitting in. 

College life is about understanding your capabilities, digging deeper on your professional interest and careers, What you're going to enjoy doing through your life and determine what path to pursue.

"Do not miss an opportunity that you will learn and grow through."

Each person has something to teach you. So, ASK. 

Never underestimates someone's capabilities, as I believe that each person has a unique set of knowledge and ideas through their backgrounds and been through different situations and expertise, Asking would enrich your imagination with what everyone offers.

"People who ask for directions, never miss their way."

Constantly keep yourself away from useless and small minded people.

Some people tend to talk a lot about useless unhealthy matters that are only about negative energy, avoid setting in such conversation, your listening and speaking energy matters to you, pick whom you listen and speak to cause your Time is precious too, do not waste them.

"Surrounding yourself with positive people will keep you healthy and hopeful." 

Travel alone and observe your behaviours.

Figure out more about your behaviours and attitudes when you are on your own, How you doing things? How you speak and act to the world? dependent or independent, Can do it all in your own? Even can survive and control your actions? It might seem silly, in contrast, you will see your pure self acting.

"Beauty is more obvious when just the eyes and the soul observing it."

Family is Everything. 

Time with family is the best thing ever in the world, enjoy and live every moment with them take pictures whenever there's a family gathering and make it memorable. The family is the only people in the universe that wants to see you better than them, will give you all they have without asking for anything only because they want to see you on a better place.

"Do you want to feel alive? Then, Keep your bonds with family warm."

Plan for your future.

Expand your connections and get to know professionals in each field you're interested in, building your professional connections require more flexibility and being open mind to talk about new perspectives.

"Business is all about connections."

Dig deeper into your imagination.

Imagination is like a seed, you'll have to feed it with dreams and work to grow and become reality, what really distinct people from one another is where their imagination can lead them to.

Pick your close circle of friends wisely ;) 

Friends can present a grave danger when they are not sharing the same or even close interests as yours.

Do not blame.

Blaming people or yourself for everything is a sign of failure. blaming to a certain level could be a positive sign for a specific type of people who can look back and make a good judgment of their actions to put into considerations furtherly. Yet, another type of people loses their energy, and feel down.

Give up when you feel it's not a win-win situation.

The place that doesn't grow you anymore will tend only to deplete your energy and slowly killing your distinct set of skills and knowledge, avoid being in such an environment.

Occasionally, Ask yourself why you're here?

Maybe you lost your interest in a specific job, a raise, or even a personal goal. you should ask yourself if this stuff still feels interesting and you're enjoy doing them.

Find your passion and let it kill you.

Knock every possible door, don't stay still, never consider bad luck as an excuse, cause it has never been. Opportunities are hard to reach. besides, if it comes to you in an easy way, make the most out of your opportunity.

"Opportunities are made, not found."

Invest in yourself

Learn something from each colleague you meet, read at least 2 books monthly, I suggest about personality development and your professional interest.

"An Investment in knowledge pays the best interest."

Failure is a STEP, not a STOP.

Challenges usually start at the age of 20, you realise that the world has more issues to deal with, not only yours. so, facing an obstacle will be a usual thing to do in your daily routine, avoid losing hope as much as possible.

Regret

In the end, I'd like to tell you that life is not hard and not easy too. but it's the tasty mix in-between, you have to survive with your passion, ideas, personality, and ethics. 

Your eager to learn is what leads to your dreams.
