The College Puzzle

The Jigsaw Puzzle Imagine that I have just handed you a box containing a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, and you are going to assemble it. What is the very first step you will take?

What is the picture on the box? How does that change the situation? Now imagine that you look at the box… but there’s no picture!

The College Puzzle In some ways, college life is a lot like assembling a large jigsaw puzzle. To be a successful college student, you have to fit together all the pieces of your life, such as friends, classes, activities, hobbies, etc.

The College Puzzle Just like with a real jigsaw puzzle, it is easier to figure out where each piece belongs if you have an idea of what the end result is supposed to look like.

The College Puzzle To create your own “puzzle picture,” you just need to know what your big goals are and have a sense of what is important to you so that you can tell whether you are putting each piece in the right place.

Creating Your College Puzzle 1.Brainstorm the different “pieces” that you expect to be part of your college life. Examples of possible “pieces” in each category include: Academic: Attending classes, homework/studying, tutoring, organization/time management, etc. Social: Friends, family, hobbies/interests, events and entertainment, campus organizations, etc. Health/Wellness: Sports, fitness, activities and interests, religion/spirituality, etc. Daily Living: Chores, errands, employment, money management, eating, sleeping, hygiene, etc.

Creating Your College Puzzle 2.Decide how you will arrange your pieces and enter them on your puzzle grid. 3.Color code according to each piece’s goal category. Academic = Blue Health/Wellness = Green Daily Living = Purple Social = Red

Creating Your College Puzzle 4.Step back and look at your puzzle. Have you achieved a good balance? Are your categories represented in a proportion that fits with your goals? Are any of your categories over-represented or under-represented? What changes (if any) would you need to make in order to bring your college puzzle into balance?
