2. Set Your Goals and Plan Ahead 

The first move towards success is deciding not to stay where you are. Now is the time to set life goals and think about your future beyond the next year. What do you aim to achieve? Share your career aspirations and start planning your path.

3. Surround Yourself with Inspiration 

In college, you'll meet new friends, engage with lecturers, and connect with people who can help you succeed. Seek out opportunities for work experience, volunteering, and competitions. Choose the people who inspire and motivate you.
