Things University Freshmen Should Do (For the '07 and '08 Generations!)

Hello.

Today, I have compiled a list of things I am glad I did during my freshman year of university, as well as things I regret not doing.

1. Get your driver's license🚗

I started going to driving school right after graduating high school and got my license around the autumn of my freshman year. Personally, I think many university students learn how to slack off and become lazy as they advance in grade, so I recommend finishing it while you still have the disciplined lifestyle habits from high school (lol). Junior and senior years are busy with job hunting, and for those taking teaching courses, student teaching, so get it done while you have the time!!

2. Join a club or circle⚽

The biggest benefit of joining a club or circle is building vertical and horizontal connections! Participating in such communities makes it easier to make friends✨ Furthermore, if you get close to upperclassmen, they can teach you tips on course registration. You can also participate in events like training camps and make many memories. I used to belong to a circle, but I couldn't fit in and quit, so even now, I feel a little envious when I see people enjoying their circles (lol).

3. Practice typing💻

At university, there are more opportunities to use a computer than you might imagine, such as writing reports and preparing presentation materials💦 Just being fast at typing significantly increases work efficiency and allows you to have more free time. I recently realized the importance of typing speed and have started practicing little by little.

4. Find a hobby you can do alone🌎

While spending time with friends is important, I also recommend finding a hobby you can immerse yourself in alone. Reading, watching movies, cooking, or even traveling solo—anything is fine. Knowing how to enrich your own time allows you to lead a university life that is mentally independent and not overly swayed by those around you.

5. Participate in communities outside of university⭐

Don't just stay within the university; try jumping into different environments like volunteering, part-time jobs, or off-campus events. By creating a place for yourself and making friends outside of university, your perspective will broaden significantly. I especially recommend part-time jobs because you can learn social manners and common sense.

6. Do what you want to do🌠

My student life is coming to an end, and after graduation, my life as a working adult will begin. I spent my time vaguely thinking that I would 'become someone someday,' but I realized I couldn't go on like that, so I started posting on note to take a step forward. This challenge, which connects to the creative activities I dreamed of as a child, has become a catalyst for changing myself and is giving me confidence little by little. I hope you all try to challenge yourselves with what you want to do now so that you have no regrets.
