As a college student, when you have decided to study in college, certain amount of introspection is required. You have to ask yourself what is the purpose for studying in the college? Do you want to get a degree to obtain a job, or do you want to go into research and academics. Do you just want to explore the subject, or is it just that you want to have a carefree time to enjoy the youth.

You have to clearly define the objective of going to the college and should not go to the college; just because your parents have gone or that your parents have not been able to complete their college degree and they want you to complete it so that they can realize their dream. Until and unless your objective is defined, do not become a college student.

Once you have decided to go to the college set an objective for yourself to attend more lectures than have been ordained in the syllabus. Once you do this, you would be classified as a serious college student and you would get help and encouragement from the faculty of the college. They may also provide you some kind of incentive in the form of an additional income for running some errands for them. The increased number of classes is an enriching experience as it could unravel hidden nuances of the subject in which you are taking extra classes. The subject could enamor you, and you could decide to become a researcher in the subject as a college student.

You should lay down clearly defined objectives for each of the class that you have planned to attend. If you want a recommendation from your teacher, then you have to be the front-bencher. Once you are a front bencher in the class you draw attention of the teacher, and the interest that you show in the subject encourages the teacher to recommend you, when you need it. Run a check on all the teachers who would be taking classes in various subjects. Some teachers might be some very good, so for those who are good you can be regular, while for others you can take their classes in an easy manner and you could also think about becoming a back bencher. But never be a prankster in the class, as a prankster gets branded and the reputation travels fast. College students form various groups and you could pick one of the groups to develop your extra-curricular flair.
