    A concept I think is important is balance for me as a college student , balance means managing my time and energy between school, personal life and taking care of myself . If I focus too much on just one thing .like studying , I can get really stressed and feel burned out.

    A concept I believe is important as a college student is having an open mindset. This means being open to new opportunities, new information, and setting new goals. For example, if your studying technique isn’t working for you anymore, be open to finding other ways to study. This ties in with having a growth mindset; as a college student, I know certain topics can be difficult to understand, and it can feel difficult to retain information. But it’s important to understand that this is why we are here, to expand our knowledge for our future careers.

    I believe having an Open Mindset while being a college student is very important! You are able to achieve and look at things in a different point of view and be able to have space to grow and obtain new ways of doing certain tasks/things. When opening up to a new environment (like college) and having a close mindset, you become less comfortable and not being able to grow and adapt to that new environment. Every person is different but having a strict attitude or not, but if people can work towards a better future and change, everyone can benefit from it.
