Any one who spends at least one semester in college notices that some students give up on their classes. The person who sits behind you in accounting, for example, begins to miss a lot of class meetings and eventually vanishes. Or another student comes to class without the assignment, writes aimlessly in his notebook during the lecture, and leaves during the break. What’s the difference between students like this and the ones who succeed in school? My survey may be non-scientific, but everyone I asked said the same thing: attitude. A positive attitude is the key to everything else.
    What does "a positive attitude" mean? It means not only showing up for your classes, but also doing something while you’re there. Really listen. Take notes. Ask a question if you want to. Don’t just walk into a class, put your mind in neutral, and drift away to never-nerve land.
    Having a positive attitude goes deeper than this, though. It means being mature about college as an institution. College classes can sometimes be downright dull and boring. If you let a boring class discourage you so much that you want to leave school, you’ll lose in the long run. Look at your priorities. You want a degree, or a certificate, or a career. If you have to, you can make it through a less-than-interesting class in order to achieve what you want. Get whatever you can out of every class. But if you simply can’t stand a certain class, be determined to fulfill its requirements and be done with it once and for all.
