Excited to go study your long-awaited health science course in Malaysia? You’re probably nervous too because high school is over. Now, you’re entering a new phase in your life – university life. In university, you’ll be able to meet loads kinds of people, meet new teachers, get new friends, get used to a new norm, and learn to be adaptable. Everything is new, and while it is scary, it shouldn’t stop you from experiencing it.
Speaking of adaptability, there are a few things that you should prepare yourself for before stepping into college. It’s not a lot, but it is quite necessary. Such as, cleaning your room, keeping your bathroom tidy, keeping your house neat, and many more. But, what else can you prepare before going to college?
It’s easy to go over the budget when you’re having fun in college. So it’s essential to keep a strict budget for yourself monthly. The kind of things you can prepare to save money includes jotting down the essentials that you need to pay per month, the expenses you’ve spent, and utilities. With the money that you have saved, you can buy textbooks, and health expenses, and pay for any university-related fees.
Living in a house together takes effort to reach a common ground. Thus communication is key in avoiding any misunderstandings or unnecessary multiple same items. Such as a toaster, vacuum, toilet cleaners, kitchen tables, chairs, coffee maker, and so on. When there is an established owner for each item, then there won’t be any confusion on who takes what when everyone is moving out.
When moving into a new place, it’s wise to coordinate everything with your housemate in regard to keeping the house tidy. Set up a whiteboard or a weekly reminder schedule in a messaging app to show whose turn it is to clean the house. If everyone agrees with this plan then the chores in the house can be shared equally. As a result, this burden wouldn’t only be carried by only one person in the house.
It’s time to test out your creativity by decorating the place. Such as hanging strings, clothespins, little light strings, corkboards, and pushpins in your room. If you decorate your room according to your comfort level, then you’d feel at home. You’re able to study in a comfortable space as well. This could be a place where you can hang out with your roommates and close friends.
