The Copacetic College Student


            For years now, Facebook and Zynga (producer of Farmville and Words With Friends) have been stuffing their pockets with money made from the traffic of distracted college students. Now I’m a colossally supportive of free markets, but something seems amiss when a company’s biggest competitive rival is a 25-page midterm paper on “The Theory of Production Sciences in Mid-Cap Corporate Manufacturers.” This is this is a call to arms for all college students – efficient working is the b est way to be successful in college.
            Studying doesn’t always share the glamour that college extra-curricular activities enjoy, but it is momentously important to being productive in college. As a student, you will have to learn to balance study sessions with social ventures, and because both are important you will have to acquire efficient working principles. There are no hard-and-fast methods here, but when studying, go with this question as a rule: Am I working/studying as efficiently as I could be? If the answer to that question is “No,” then find the hitch and cut it out. Tune out or turn off things like loud music, Facebook, and Twitter during study time. Study time is STUDY TIME and it doesn’t mix well with others. Be efficient and focused during study sessions, and you will find that all other things will fall well in line.
            College success can be that simple. Be an effective worker during study times and a relaxed relaxer during those relaxing times that you’ve worked so hard to earn.

  1. Indeed. For working students, efficient working is the best way to be successful in college. Aside from that, they can also be accepted (by the company itself), as regular employees after graduating if they have shown excellent work ethic. If not, then it will serve as experience that you can show to your future employers to prove how dedicated you are in your work.
