What <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/two-types-of-mindsets\/\">kind of mindset<\/a> will help them succeed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Excellent Sheep<\/em>, author and former Yale professor William Deresiewicz argues that college students can actively create a high-quality education for themselves. He recommends that they connect with inspiring professors, follow their interests, and expect and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/embracing-failure\/\">embrace failure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading to learn about these three tips for college students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-1-connect-with-inspiring-professors\">Tip #1: Connect With Inspiring Professors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deresiewicz&#8217;s first tip for college students is that they <strong>connect with inspiring professors.<\/strong> Although many professors are too occupied with research to form relationships with students, there are exceptions. College students can ask older students to recommend professors who are committed to the art of teaching. Then, they should attend these professors\u2019 office hours to receive extra guidance on their journey towards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-insight\/\">self-insight<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: What are some ways college students can make the most of professors\u2019 office hours? One resource advises them to <a href=\"https:\/\/adulting.asu.edu\/blog\/your-fear-office-hours-about-end-guide-meeting-professors\">see office hours as a chance to develop a relationship with a professor<\/a>. This relationship could later grow into a mentorship. College students can start building this relationship by asking a professor to share more about their research interests. Additionally, students can share what they\u2019re most curious about with a professor and request advice on what subjects or courses to pursue.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2: Follow Your Interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deresiewicz&#8217;s second tip for college students is that they should <strong>follow their interests. <\/strong>Instead of automatically gravitating toward prestigious careers such as finance, they should take time to discover what subject areas ignite their curiosity. To explore their interests, they can take classes in a wide variety of subject areas and ask professors for guidance in selecting a good-fit major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Some college students whose interests don\u2019t align with lucrative careers may have a hard time choosing between these majors and a major that\u2019s more likely to guarantee a stable income. College career counselors, aware of this dilemma, advise students to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2004\/12\/05\/jobs\/choosing-a-college-major-for-love-or-for-the-money.html\">choose a major based on the marketable skills it equips them with rather than the <em>job<\/em> that shares its name<\/a>. For instance, a student wondering whether to major in history shouldn\u2019t base their decision on whether they want to be a historian. Instead, they can consider some of the<em> skills<\/em> they\u2019d gain majoring in history, such as writing and reading.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Expect and Embrace Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deresiewicz&#8217;s last tip for college students is to <strong>expect and embrace failure. <\/strong>They\u2019ll make progress on their path towards self-insight if they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hub\/personal-life\/self\/learn-from-failure\/\">learn from failure<\/a> rather than fear it. Self-insight is a messy process that requires you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/learn-from-your-mistakes\/\">learn from your mistakes<\/a>. He reminds students that, when they receive constructive criticism from a professor, it\u2019s an opportunity to learn and grow\u2014not a sign they\u2019re inadequate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/mindset\"><em>Mindset<\/em><\/a>, psychologist Carol Dweck argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/mindset\/chapter-2\">it\u2019s possible to transition from fearing failure to having a \u201cgrowth mindset\u201d that embraces failure.<\/a> She offers several recommendations that anyone (including college students) can follow to move towards a failure-embracing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/growth-mindset-characteristics\/\">growth mindset<\/a>:<br><br><strong>Be patient with yourself. <\/strong>When facing a new experience, such as taking a class in a new subject area, don\u2019t expect yourself to be perfect from the start. Remind yourself: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-master-something\/\">Mastering something<\/a> requires time, effort, and practice.<\/em><br><br><strong>Welcome critical feedback. <\/strong>Typically, when a mentor, friend or loved one gives you feedback, it\u2019s because they want to help you improve. Instead of taking the feedback as an indication that you\u2019re a failure, remind yourself: <em>Feedback helps me improve.<\/em><br><br><strong>Reflect and try again.<\/strong> If you make a goal that you later fail to meet, reflect on how you could improve next time. Ask yourself, <em>What did I fail to do the first time that I can do better next time?<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should college students choose a career-oriented program or a major they enjoy more?
