Twelve Things to Do in Student Life
1. Own income:
Even if you are the child of a millionaire - in student life you have to earn something, not something. How to take responsibility. How to serve others. You can learn to keep happy with work. With this income tuition, with classes at the coaching center, with a part-time job. Whether it's selling something to friends or to people around you (the current World Cup jersey), you have to try to earn some money.
2. MS Excel:
No matter what subject you study engineering / medical / or drama. You must learn Basic Excel. How to add to excel, find out the average. Creates charts, applies formulas, filters data, copies and pastes values other than formulas. Summarizes data from multiple worksheets. You have to know that. Just give it a week. If you do not have Excel on your computer, learn how to Google Sheet in Google Drive.
.
3. Event Management:
Whether it's a visit by friends or an event on campus - it's an Iftar party, a Baishakhi fair, a rag party, a job fair, an alumni reunion. Whatever it is, you have to be one of the main organizers of the event. Then you will understand how to handle different types of people. How to budget. Planning is done. Help is to be obtained from human work. Practical training to combine 15-20 things together is free and nowhere else.
Remember, an entrepreneur and a skilled organizer are far ahead in the race to succeed.
4. Basic English:
Why don't you take a degree course from the best varsity or the worst college in the country. You need to be able to speak English fluently. You have to be able to understand what an English magazine is doing there. You need to be able to write two or three pages in English about yourself or your country. There are lots of videos on YouTube to learn English. After watching English videos for 2 months, close the room and practice your own pronunciation with their words. See where your English level has gone.
.
5. Area of interest:
You don't study any subject. Why not study in that field. You need to know more than reading your textbook / class in any one area of that field. You can read extra books for that. You can read the article by searching on Google. If you have a blog or research paper in that field, you need to know them. You have to grow curiosity inside yourself. Then you have to write a summary of what you are learning one by one. I will try to publish that summary somewhere. Department Magazine. If you can't do that, the best publisher in the world will publish it on Facebook. Even if two friends make fun of you, I will post what you are learning on Facebook.
6 . Best friend:
You have to make a best friend. There will be a friend circle. But you must have a best friend in or out of the circle of friends. With which you will do a lot. Will go to many places. The interest level of the two will be close. One will help the other. This closeness will help you in down time. Will help to fix the future. Because not all can be shared with all friends. If you don't have a good body - the emotional turmoil in your young life will be more than bad.
.
7. Networking:
The field you want to work in. You must have connections to at least ten people in that field. They may be your seniors. Can be a senior from another varsity or a professional from somewhere else. It could be someone from outside the country. Maybe I went to a workshop or seminar and got acquainted with them.
Or the older brother of the organization, someone from the department or area. You will have contact with them. They will know what you are good at. What is your passion? I will discuss with them about the future plan.
.
8 . Build Your Resume:
After four years of varsity, if you don't have the material to write a one and a half page resume in your life, then you have done it, Nabila? You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. With any one organization. If there is no such organization, you and your friends will come up with one. I will collect their CV / resume from the senior brothers. Even if you don't need it, he will make a resume for you in the second year / third year. Go to bdjobs and see a job circular and decide what they want. Then you will understand where there are gaps. Then it will improve the gap area.
.
9. MS Word / Powerpoint:
Why do you read any line. How to format report in MS word, how to create automatic table of content. You need to know about trekking change, adding references. At the same time try to make a good power point presentation. If you don't have a presentation in your class, make it for yourself. Try to learn how to make good powepoint presentation by typing in Google search.
10. Get on stage:
Once in your student life, you have to get on stage. In front of a minimum of 50 people. Let him give a speech. Let's give a presentation. Or dance, song / drama to perform something. There is no better way to get rid of your fear of standing in front of the public than in student life.
.
11. Extra Knowledge:
You have to attack the world outside the textbook. It may be reading some famous books (in Bengali or English). Novel or self-developmental or any other category of book. Maybe some Oscar winning movies. If you see the most popular TED talks. From time to time the boys of the other department talked about what they were reading.
The chat can discuss sociology, history, philosophy, politics, world politics, current and future course of action. Then you become aware of some things outside of your world.
And what a thing in programming language as well. One has to keep the basic ideas of a programming language.
12: Personal Preparation:
You must have a bank account. You have to have money in your bank for three or four months after passing the tuition or whatever. Because not everyone will get a job the day after passing. You need to buy two pairs of formal dresses. It will be useful when going to give an interview.
Remember - you have to build your own. Your varsity will not build you. Just give a platform. It is your job to discover what that is and to bring it about.
Check this checklist now and see where you have a deficit of 12 points. Get down to work today to fix them. Then six months or a year later you will be much more confident and worthy than you are today.
