Confidence is a topic we always come back to on The College Juice. Why? Because confidence is
the fuel you need to give you that extra kick in college, on the job, and just life in general. Here are
five ways you can start working more self-confidence into your day.
Ask questions.
Speaking up doesnt just mean throwing out bold suggestions and ideas at your meetings. You can
start small by simply asking some questions. Its a bit less intimidating, and it still shows youre
engaged in your work.
Questions are also perfect stepping stones to speak up even more. For example: lets say youre
asking about a new project or initiative your team is working on. Once you understand the project,
youll see the best ways you can start offering your input and ideas.
Share your ideas ASAP.
Youre in a meeting with this stellar idea buzzing in your head, but youre waiting and waiting for the
perfect moment to bring it up. As the meeting moves along, you start over-thinking:
Maybe its actually not a good idea.
Ill just wait to hear what other people suggest first.
Well, its too late now. The subject already changed.
Sound familiar? Before the self-doubt and excuses roll in, share your idea!

Youre probably familiar with those infamous warnings from upperclassmen: You may have woken
up early for class in high school, but DO NOT take an early class in college.
Its probably safe to say that if youre here reading this, you likely didnt heed those warnings. No
worries! Not only do early classes have a bunch of perks, but theyre totally manageable with a little
bit of prep. Check out what we recommend below.
4. Say no to FOMO.
We all know the feeling. You have an important lecture first thing in the morning so you plan on
staying in and getting rest, but then you see all of your friends getting ready for a night out and you
just cant stand the thought of missing out on the fun! FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out, is all too real in
college. Just keep reminding yourself that there are plenty of more opportunities for fun when
you dont have to wake up bright and early.
8. Laugh a little.
Mornings are rough. Thats the whole reason youre reading this post, isnt it? Well, thats exactly
why we think you should laugh a little. Look at a funny meme, watch that YouTube clip from your
favorite late night talk show, or just crack a few jokes with your roommie! Not only will it start your
day on a brighter note, but itll reduce your stress. Less stress = More energy

Readers cannot get enough of The Handmaids Tale. If youre not familiarthis captivating
dystopian novel written by Margaret Attwood explores a futuristic totalitarian government in which
women are revoked of their rights and reordered into a class system.
The acclaimed novel is even getting its own series on Hulu! Check out the trailer below.
Were just as excited as everyone else, which is why we decided to compile some of our favorite
thought-provoking quotes from the novel below. Check em out!
1. Ignoring isnt ignorance, you have to work at it.
2. But who can remember pain, once its over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the
mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see. Out of sight, out of mind.
4. Better never means better for everyoneIt always means worse, for someone.
5. When we think of the past its the beautiful things we pick out. We want to believe it was
all like that.
8. I believe in the resistance as I believe there can be no light without shadow; or rather, no
shadow unless there is also light.

way of joining them together. They cannot be exchanged, one for the other. They cannot
replace each other.
Everyone has their own definition of success, but we all want to feel successful in
life. Right? By picking up some of these habits, you can be even more successful than
you already are. Why not be the best you can be?! 6 Things Successful People Do
Differently:
1. They wake up early. Did you know that Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc., starts his day
as early as 4:30am to send emails? I am not saying you have to get up at 4:30am, but
maybe get up 30 minutes earlier than you are used to and start conquering the day. You
can get a lot more done than you think in just those 30 minutes.
2. They take care of their bodies. Regular exercise and healthy eating does not just
assist the physical aspect of your body, but it also assists your mental health. By
making small lifestyle changes to take care of your body, you will see many
improvements (better moods, decreased fatigue, etc.)
3. They focus on the positive. Successful people are almost always optimistic about
situations. It is so much easier to make quick, accurate decisions when you have a
bright outlook on the situation. Just as this saying goes, Your positive action combined
with positive thinking results in success. Shiv Khera
4. They know their to-do list will never be completed and they are okay with
that. Many of us are guilty of making lists and feeling upset when we do not mark all of
the items off. However, sometimes we can be more productive by accepting the fact its
just not going to happen the way we planned. Avoiding perfectionism will free up your
mind and allow you to place that energy on other tasks.
5. They express gratitude to those around them. Success does not happen on its
own. Give credit where credit is due. Acknowledge the people that helped you succeed
throughout your journey. Appreciate the people around you, and they will appreciate
you in return.
6. They focus on minutes, not hours. Dont give yourself too much time to complete one
task or you will find yourself procrastinating and not working to conquer the specific
task. Give yourself the amount of time you need for the project and, once it is finished,
move on. Dont just block out hours at a time because you will find yourself fitting other
things into that time instead of what you originally blocked the time out for.
