Beginner's guide to University

I've been at uni for many years now and have come to know a few tricks of the trade that would have helped me get better grades, get more out of my life at the time and ultimately finish uni earlier.

These tips will be especially important if you are about to attend university for the first time. I'm only going to discuss one tip in this blog but I'll add more later.

The first tip is
Find a Sherpa!

Explanation:
1. Your Sherpa is someone who can guide you, someone who knows the lay of the land and has been their before. If you can find this person then your university survival chances increase significantly. What you need to source from this person is the best way to tackle each assignment, test, quiz, and assessment. A true Sherpa is also an archiver, one who keeps records of there own and other people's work along with other course related materials. These materials are incredibly useful and can be used to navigate your way through difficult terrain.

If you can't find a Sherpa, keep looking... they are out there...
