How To Be Confident

By Emma D. Walker


Most of the students entering college like you have a desire to be popular somehow. You want everyone to know them and like them. The first year is very important because it will determine what type of student you will be. As college students build relationships with other college students and professors, they will become more well known on campus. Becoming well know is only half the battle, the other half is leaving others with a positive impression after meeting you. Trust me you can NOT even think of getting popular by drinking and smoking weed. You don't have to be a 'bad guy' in order to be popular, you have to earn respect for yourself.

BE FRIENDLY: You must be polite with every single student! If you want to become popular at college and want people to be nice to you, you can not afford to be harsh with them no matter who they are. One bad impression can ruin everything for you. People are naturally attracted to others who smile a lot and are positive, so no matter how down you get try to smile at others and greet them. Always be positive since people always like an optimistic personality. Never talk bad about the people EVER! even if they are not present as they will not appreciate hearing about it from someone else. Listen and Talk to people and help them out if they have ANY kind of problems.

Show Empathy. Empathy is when you step into someone shoes and feel what they feel. It is a step more than sympathy, it's sharing and understanding what some is feeling.Remember things about others. Remember the things others have told you. If you can talk a few day later about something they told you that is very powerful. It tells the other person that not only have you listened, but you have remembered. Be proactive in your relationships. You be the one who initiates conversation, you be the one who organises social gatherings. You be the one who sends a Facebook message to someone who you haven't spoken to in a while. Be real. People like someone who is real. People are sick of people who act all the time, pretending to be someone they aren't.

People are sick of others who lie. People want to be friends with someone who is real, truthful and honest.Be funny. People like funny people, simple. People like comedians, they go to their shows, buy their dvd's. Comedians take people's mind off their own problems. If you are naturally funny, use your gift. One thing I will say is try and make yourself the butt of jokes; if you don't know someone and your making fun of them you may get a punch in the mouth for your troubles.

Becoming a popular student is perhaps easy at school but college is a larger society and thus fulfilling your desire of becoming popular at college maybe an arduous task but I guess if you follow the tips I have mentioned above you may become an extremely popular student!
