[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1569238630562","data":"I came across an interesting article when I was casually browsing over the weekend. That article spoke about how engineering colleges are actually places where students get to discover themselves and discover their potential in an avenue that perhaps has got nothing to do with the engineering course that they're pursuing. In something that seems like a twisted corollary of the used-to-death meme that says \"in India people do engineering first and then decide what to do with their lives\", engineering colleges actually provide a much needed breathing space for students to try new things, without the pressures of preparing for entrance exams or any such as parents\/family usually are relieved once the student secures a seat.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1569238630563","data":"As my thought process was running like this, I ended up reminiscing about what I did during my college years, almost a decade ago and I tried to think of how the above passage was related to my life. In one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stumagz.com\/make-winning-a-habit\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">my older blogs<\/a>, I wrote on how I took part in several paper presentation competitions and won several times, even when I was pitted against candidates from premier institutions like IITs and NITs. I was reminded of those when I was thinking about this blog. I was studying Electrical Engineering so I presented a paper on utilising waste water treatment to produce electricity, through the usage of a microbial fuel cell. <\/p>Presenting that paper triggered a different thought process within me, I realised I had to not only acquire the knowledge necessary about that but I also had to learn how to speak on a public platform, how my diction should be, how I manage my time and more. Now as I look back, it was those paper presentations that paved way for me to be the speaker that I am today and it was my engineering course that gave me the time and the opportunity to do it. <\/p>I urge students now to do the same and utilise the time in college to figure out what they love doing and what it takes to make sure they acquire the skills to do what they want to do. Be curious, explore as much as you can. You can either be dormant and just be in your dorm and not do anything else or you can be active and curious and do what it takes to figure out what you want to do and succeed. An easy way for that is to take up online courses, utilise platforms like stuMagz to write, to share photographs, to share videos and more, if you are among the creative ones, utilise stuMagz to take part in competitions, quizzes and more if you are among the analytical ones. <\/p>Make sure you do something, make yourself a name and make yourself a career through the four years of college!<\/p>"}]
