How are you thinking about those things?

What are your views on the perfect college life? Where do you stand on the topics of achieving great grades, a fantastic social life, and amazing relationships with your professors and family? Do you think it is for you or that it is reserved for smarter, better looking or better adjusted students?

If you are thinking right now that any part of great grades, a fantastic social life, and amazing relationships is not for you, then you are suffering from mediocre consciousness. This is okay! Most students feel this way at some point, especially if any part of your college experience is lacking at the moment. However, the first step in letting go of your mediocre mindset is first acknowledging it, and then once you have done that… please follow me.

I want you to sit back, relax, and take a few deep breaths. Put yourself in a comfortable place both physically and mentally, and allow whatever dramas you currently have in your life to drift away. Now, I want you to imagine the college life of your dreams. The one you daydreamed about all throughout high school. How great is it? What are the classes you are taking? What does your dorm room look like? Where are you doing your homework? What are you doing for fun? How are you relating to your professors? On what things are you spending your spare time?

Now, imagine all of what you are currently dreaming is actually your life. Doesn't it feel great? How are you now looking at college differently? Your classes do not seem that hard anymore, right? Your professors do not seem so bad anymore either, do they? Meeting friends and maintaining great relationships with your family does not seem like an impossibility any longer, does it? In your dream, how are you viewing your college world? I bet you are seeing your college world as open and optimistic. That dream does not need to be simply a dream; it can and will happen for you as long as you continue to be aware of your mediocre consciousness.

Slipping in and out of mediocre consciousness will happen for even the best students. But it is now up to you to realize when that is happening and to reverse your thinking right away. I want you to go around thinking and talking like a student who is living the college life of their dreams. Do not spend time around negative people; they will only keep you in a mediocre consciousness. I want you to starting talking to more students who are positive and excited about college. These students are the ones who are living the kind of life you want. You need to be around more of these kinds of students. It may seem unsettling for you at first, but positive students who are excited about college are not geeks! They are the ones who are winning. And even if they do not seem “cool” to you at first, they will once you see how much they have going for themselves.

For now, I want you to spend time thinking like a completely successful student. Think about it, talk about it, and use this message as a daily reminder that if there was ever a student who was meant to succeed in college, it is YOU. That is why you have found your way to becoming one with this information. The fact that you are reading this, right now, is no accident. You are designed for greatness. Believe it!

“Underachieving in college is not the incurable cancer that students make it out to be. It's a simple choice of inactivity and poor mindset. Colleges don't accept students who haven't expressed the ability to succeed.” - Joe DePalma
