1. Always be nice to the most studious student in the class. Believe me, when you’re panicking in the last moment because you want someone to give you notes or explain a problem, you can always ask them, only if you are nice to them. Actually, be nice to all your classmates because that will make sure that you have a happy college life.
2. Make sure your teacher has a neat impression on you. This isn’t exactly necessary, but it’ll make things wayyyy too easier for you and you’ll be glad later.
3. Score well in your internals and externals wouldn’t bother you anymore.
4. Pay a visit or two to the library! I get the fact that this is extremely boring but then it never hurts to know what our subjects are and how our books look like. :P
5. One IMPORTANT thing that will be a part of your college life is XEROX! If you’re one of those common species who don’t maintain a notes, you’ll have to borrow one from the rare species with the perfect notes for Xerox. During the exams, the Xerox business in GITAM flourishes more than anything else. And the crowd at these places makes you wonder if something precious is given out for free. So good luck with running to and fro from Sandeep stores, KRC, BBM building and GITAM stores.
No matter what we do, in the end, there’s no escaping from the night-out before the exam. So hoard up loads of snacks and coffee. And if you’re a hosteller, then groupstudies will turn out to be your cherished memories later.
