Hi Anna. One important habit is managing your time. In high school, your schedule was more set for you, but in college, you'll need to organize your own time. You may use a planner or a calendar to keep track of assignments, tests, and other things you need to do.
Successful students also study regularly instead of cramming all their work into one night before an exam. You can set a specific time each day to go over your notes, work on assignments, or practice new skills. Since you're interested in graphic design, this might also mean practicing design software, learning new techniques, or working on creative projects outside of class. Studying little by little helps you remember things better and keeps you from feeling overwhelmed when exams come.
Being active in class is another habit that helps students succeed. This means asking questions, joining discussions, and paying attention. If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask your professor or a classmate for help. Participating in class also helps you build relationships with your professors, which can help you later on.
Moreover, successful students are proactive. This means taking charge of your education and not waiting for someone to remind you to do things. If you want to get better at graphic design, you can work on projects on your own or attend design events. By being proactive, you'll make the most of your time in college and keep improving. Wishing you all the best.
