How to Be Successful in College: A New Perspective on How to Be a Straight-A Student

By Tegegne Shiferaw

We are living in a time when the media and the "know-it-all" media entrepreneurship scammers advise us not to go to college. Luck, some innate talent, and mere coincidence brought these people to fame and success, and now, they firmly believe and try to convince us that they are a genius of some sort. They never attribute their success to going to college. Not even a bit. Yet when you look closer, they are sending their kids to the best schools they know of, and unless they are lying themselves, they too are probably graduates of the most competitive colleges around. Isn't it hypocritical they want you not to go to college, but they or their children go to the best colleges? There must be an underlying reason there. Don't you think? I do. These people are not creators. They are not producers. They are marketers. They are in the business of marketing. All they want you to is to trust them, to blindly follow them. They want you to read or listen to their garbage. Be it a book, a video, or an audio. Once they make their sales, they go for another round of benefits. This time they resort to shaping individuals who fail or unable or lack the will to go to college as a day labourer for their striving businesses. "Who needs college!" "Who needs formal education!" They will say it over and over again. They reiterate their belief in every conceivable shape and form. They will reach out to you in every possible media of communication until you trust them. Because they need hands and legs for their startups! They need disciples. They need people who hate college, who hate formal education, who hate the years that you have to spend in a lab or front of a blackboard to be a better and more productive person. Would you still be their hands and legs when you can be a brain of your own? Would you still be their blind disciple when you can be a master of your own? College gives you freedom, knowledge, hope, courage, and ultimate power. Please don't let them convince you otherwise. Don't listen to individuals who tarnish college and formal education. It is the most peaceful place to be. It is the place where you can see people change in a matter of minutes. When you get out from every single class, you come out as a far better person. Imagine being a medical doctor. As a freshman, you might know nothing. But as the years progress, you will reach to a point where you will be confident about saving lives. It is this real change that they tell you not to pursue. How can we give up on a dream that had shaped, is shaping, and will shape our journey as a human species? Yes, we shouldn't take our eyes off colleges. The principles of the good old days are still practical and true. The motivational and inspirational world of anti-college celebrities keeps your hopes up for nothing. It might take time to feel the consequences, but the day will come that you wish you were in college. And by then, all the beautiful images they draw on your mind will be shattered. Dear reader, unless you are born with a gold spoon, don't make going to college a plan B. It shouldn't even be planned. Plan is for those things you might forget. You never plan breathing. It is automatic. That makes it very crucial to you. College should be automatic. Improvement starts at college. Your life begins there. You can start it somewhere but you will end up coming back willingly or unwillingly. Yes, college is not a plan and if it is a plan, it shall not be a plan B. Whoever is telling you not college just comes back from college or he just dropped his kids to school. Don't judge how important college is based on a view of a person who doesn't need it anymore for he he has milked what he wanted in the proper time. Don't make college a Plan B. College is not optional. It is mandatory...
