A Better Student Year in 2019

Sometimes a little advice can point you in the right direction. Completing your assignments and exams done is one thing, but student life is about much more than that. Here are a few ideas to help you improve your day-to-day journey through the academic year.
Sports and Fitness
Sports are obviously a great way to keep fit and stay in good physical shape. There are added advantages that playing sports and exercise, in general, can offer you, such as better mental health and the opportunity to meet people and build friendships.

In practice playing sports on a regular basis could also become a welcome release from the stress of studying and attending lectures, giving you the chance to blow off steam and do something fun that differs somewhat from things you perhaps would do on a normal basis, like gaming or watching Netflix.
If team sports aren’t really your thing or the thought of doing conventional sports like football and cricket doesn’t appeal to you, have a think about other physical activities like boxing or martial arts. There may be more places that have been popping up that offer these kinds of than you might have realised, so the opportunity to get yourself involved is certainly there.     

To further enhance your health and fitness, make a special effort to eat and drink healthily if you do not already. Consuming a balanced diet that avoids excessive alcohol and other things that aren’t too good for you as well as getting the right amount of fruit and veg’ is all crucial to a diet that is going to boost your health.          
Student's Union
Getting involved with the student union at your university also has the potential to be highly enjoyable and beneficial to you in various ways. The University of Birmingham Student Union, for example, is set-up to represent UoB students and their concerns, but the opportunity they extend for you to get involved in one of the several areas related to the SU's work should be worth any student considering. Work opportunities within the student union itself can be found, but alongside this, there are a large collection of student groups for you to join, too.      
Volunteering
Taking things a step further, you might find that volunteering somewhere outside the university has a lot to offer. Aside from the learning and personal growth you could possibly discover through volunteering, it could potentially provide you with an opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills that could enrich the learning undertaken through your university course. Volunteering could additionally help you to get a better understanding of the career you have in mind for yourself as well as possibly increasing your chances of finding employment after you have graduated from university.  

Keep Organised!
One thing that we could perhaps all do better with is keeping organised. And if you’re a student at university, making sure you stay organised in terms of your work can mean a better or worse chance of passing your course. So, when it comes to assignments and exams and anything else you have to prepare for or complete for a specific date, planning ahead and organising should not be overlooked.
Blogs
Once you've moved away from it's perhaps easy to feel a little lonely and isolated. There is also the possibility that there will be times when you struggle with certain issues and maybe find it difficult to feel as positive as you would like to.

There are some students out there that have created their own blogs. Using blogs in a similar manner to these students could help you to deal with how you feel. Or you could you use a blog to explore a subject that you find particularly interesting, which could help you to feel more positive as a result. Or if that doesn’t quite offer you a way to express yourself, maybe some form of arts and crafts or performance-related hobbies would.
