If you’re a college student, there’s a pretty good chance you spend a lot of time on social media sites. You spend time on Facebook liking pages and posting statuses, you tweet about your day and retweet things you are passionate about, and you actively utilize LinkedIn for networking purposes. If you’ve mastered all of the ins and outs of these websites, there is a good chance a company will want you as their campus ambassador!

#7—Engage in philanthropy
Wealthy individuals often engage in philanthropy. This act of charity not only helps other people, but it makes the giver feel better about themselves with the knowledge that they are making the world a better place. The notions of ‘good will’, ‘karma’ and other epithets that describe altruistic behavior all center around helping other people in order to feel good about oneself. While people often feel philanthropy is reserved for wealthy individuals, the fact is anyone can engage in charitable causes. In order to be successful, you should also be giving something back to the community too, whether it be money, time or a service.

The room is divided: one person on the left side and one person on the right side. No one talks except for casual conversation. There is a tension in the air that anyone could see a mile away. Now, skip to the next year: music is blasting and sounds of laughter fill the air as a friendship begins to grow. These two drastic scenarios are the most common in college dorms. It is the college horror story versus the dream come true.
Throughout college it’s likely that people will experience the terror of living with a bad roommate or the privilege of living with a good one. There are many differences between bad roommates vs. good roommates. A good roommate will have respect for you and realize that they are now sharing a room with someone who grew up with a different lifestyle.

In honor of yesterday being Valentine’s Day, I had the opportunity to rave about my university, Howard University and everything that I love about it on unigo.com. Unigo allows students to review their university, in hopes that the information shared will help someone decide if that is the place for them. While I was completing my survey, I fell in love with Howard all over again.

This post is the first of a three part series. Check back next Monday for Part II.
The notion of ‘success’ is universal in all people. We all have the desire to succeed; the thought of being unsuccessful is generally unacceptable to us. We all want to be respected and have our voices heard. While this article is mainly for students, these tips are equally important for alumni too. Some tips are pertinent towards establishing and maintaining a career, while others can be used for dating, relationships and family. Above all, most are interconnected with each other.
