1. Know who to trust. 2. Set boundaries! No ይሉኝታ! 3. Get the best grades you can possibly get. Make sure you are using your full potential. But don't compare your grades. Just do your best and stay consistent. That's what matters. 4. Get involved in both academic and non academic activities in campus. You may not feel comfortable to do everything in first year. That's okay. Take your time. You have 5 or 7 years ahead of you to do whatever you want. 5. If possible, make it a double degree. But if not, you can take online or in person short term trainings. This is possible for anyone. Whether you are studying medicine or marketing, you can take online or short term courses within your field or any other field that interests you. You just need to have a good time management. That leads me to my final point. 6. Time management is important. There is time for everything. Use it properly!
