FALL TERM STARTS TOMORROW!!! Here are some amazing tips to make the most of it from Ustadh Mohammed Almathil: 1- Intention: Renew your intention so that youre rewarded for every step you take to school inshaAllah. Might as well get your education and increase your good deeds with our Lord. 2- Vision: Put serious attention to identifying your purpose and to find your calling then declare your major accordingly. It requires efforts from research, to results of aptitude tests, experiments, and counseling. 3- Organization: Organize your papers, notes, and presentations on Google Drive so that you can access them easily and conveniently. Also place all of the important exam dates and deadlines that you have on your syllabus on Google calendar and synchronize it on your electronic devices so you can receive automatic reminders. 4- Relationships: Nurture relationships with professors by sitting in front of class, being proactive in participation, utilizing their office hours and networking with them through other settings. This will ultimately help you with letters of recommendation and internship opportunities. 5- Prioritization: Avoid distractions and set a checklist and a clear schedule of tasks and make sure that you manage your time based on first things first. At the end of the day, your purpose is acquiring your education and graduating with HONORS inshaAllah 6- Preparation: Study in advance alone or with a study group of serious students. Believe me from experience that cramming the night before will not bring much benefit. You might retain the information in short term memory for the exam but you will find difficulty maintaining it for the long term. 7- Capitalization: Take advantage of the numerous resources on campus to grow, learn, and benefit. Whether it be the career center, tutoring center, scholarship offices, etc. Many students are too busy running in and out of classes that they lose out on these opportunities. 8- Obligation: Remember to read Quran (on the train, or any other time) and perform your prayers, and strengthen your relationship with Allah by begging and supplicating to him. Whether you are in the library, cafeteria, student lounge or elsewhere, make sure to disconnect from the creation and connect with the Creator when Salah comes in. 9- Recreation: Maintain a healthy lifestyle of sleep, food and exercise as well as a decent dose of fun time. Take breaks and reward yourself when you get an A on a paper, etc. 10- Contribution: Join student clubs like MSAs as well as clubs pertaining to your field of study and volunteer sometime to help as long as you dont drown yourself in volunteering at the expense of your education. Make sure to add that experience to your resume if it is of value. I pray that Allah facilities your education and grant you ease and success. #Leadyourself #SuccessfulStudents #Leadershipstartswithin
