Top 5 Skills I Gained In Uni ✅🔥 [+ Tips For YOU!]

Hi everyone! Previously, I shared on my Life In Uni: Event Edition. Following that, I’d like to share the top 5 skills I gained throughout my 4-year university life:

1️⃣ Time management ⏱️

- As a uni student, there is so much to juggle: classes, events, social life & personal life. As someone who lives in a different state and spent my uni life away from home, I had to learn how important it is to manage my time, without losing focus or being side-tracked (which can happen very easily)!

- Hence, I learnt to allocate my time for doing tutorials, revising, event prep, etc by planning out my schedule using GCalendar, which I highly recommend!

2️⃣ Event management

- I spent most of my uni life being part of events and therefore, I acquired the event management skill such as the prep needed for pre, during and post event, how to manage a committee, etc.

- My only advice to gain this skill is by joining many events! Only with experience, you’ll acquire the skill :)

3️⃣ Communication

- Be it for group assignments, presentations or event planning, communication is an important skill you will need every time in uni. I’ve learnt to communicate well when dealing with more people and my tip for you is to be CLEAR when you speak. How? Just be direct and convey your message accordingly (eg: communicate deadlines, expectations, boundaries, etc).

4️⃣ Technical skills

- For me, I’ve gained technical skills mainly through events. Eg: conducting a virtual/hybrid event requires meetings, dry runs etc online. Through the pandemic, I’ve learnt to familiarize myself with conducting online events and the procedures required for a smooth and successful event!

5️⃣ Discipline

- Last but not least, discipline is KEY in uni life. As mentioned previously, there are so many aspects of life to juggle in uni. The one thing I learnt is that you need discipline in order to achieve your goals: be it perfect grades, a good social life or executing an initiative.

There you have it: my top 5 skills I gained during uni life! I hope this sharing has helped you in your journey towards acquiring these skills 🥰✨
