How do you think about success? Many people think of success as an achievable state, or at least an aspiration. For college students and their parents, success often means good grades. But what appears to be success in college, or feels like success, is actually a balancing act.
Sometimes students do it with grace and ease, making small adjustments along the way. They may notice that their energy wanes mid-morning if they don’t eat breakfast, so they get up 15 minutes earlier to eat, then they can be more attentive in class. Just a tiny shift, but it can pay off.
