16 things I learnt as a JC1 student 1. Friendships come and go A bunch of your secondary school friends only talked to you because you were in the same class. It seemed like the girl you clicked well with during orientation would have stayed close to you the entire year, but she didn't- and that's okay. 2. Always respect your tutors, even if you don't like them You never know when you might need a favour from them. 3. Never put off doing your tutorials or revision Your future self would thank you if you just touched it once and finished it. 4. Be consistent and have a routine Whether it be doing homework, notes, going for training/ practice or simply eating and sleeping. 5. Throw yourself at every opportunity Try somethings new, there's no harm in trying. 6. Be yourself People will remember you for being you, not someone else. 7. Materialistic things are just a trend You don't need those shoes to be cool 8. Always find help early, clarify ALL doubts Don't understand a small part during lecture? Ask your friend, tutor or lecturer. Book a consultation. Never brush it aside, it will only get worst.  9. It's okay to pack food to school School food can be pricey and sometimes quite unhealthy. 10. Planning and prioritising is essential You won't have time to finish all 10 practice papers your chemistry tutor gave you. 11. Be present Have fun with your friends, appreciate them. Don't keep staring at your phone, scrolling through your feeds. Take lots of photos, it's only a matter of time until the year ends.  12. Go for those school concerts/ performances It's worth it. 13. Be polite Say please and thank you. Greet staff when they walk by you. Smile at people to acknowledge their presence. 14. Exercise It makes you feel good. 15. Set small achievable goals periodically You'll be amazed at how much you can achieve at the end of the year. 16. Write everything down Be it reminders, test dates or lovely moments. You will forget, but you can always refer back to it.
