Top 3 New Year’s Resolutions for Students

New Year is a great time to start afresh, to unlearn bad habits and to learn new and productive ones. Here are Offcloud’s top three resolutions for those of you who are post-graduate students, university students or passionate learners for life.

1. Study cloud computing and start using the cloud.

You may not be an IT professional, a computer science major or plainly non-techie. But if you want to be relevant and competitive in the industry, you’ve got to understand and tap the potential of cloud computing. Businesses are starting to migrate to the cloud. Even our personal lives, whether we know it or not, have transitioned to the cloud. So don’t get leave behind. Learn about the cloud.

2. Learn new skills regularly.

It’s always an advantage to learn something new every day. How much more when you constantly add new skills to your already awesome arsenal of abilities. That way you will be able to add far greater value to your future or existing clients and customers. Commit to learning a complementary or even a new skill altogether. Make it a regular habit, say every week, month or quarterly. Learn WordPress or coding, accounting or copywriting. You don’t have to be an expert. But you’ll never know when your basic knowledge will come in handy.

3. Set aside time away from gadgets.

Gadgets are great. They are tools that make our professional life more efficient. They are awesome tools for communicating, learning, entertaining etc. But sometimes, we spend way too much time with them at the expense of face-to-face, personal communications. Setting aside time away from gadgets helps us regain that balance in our lives.

If you are an eager learner, you may want to learn a whole lot of other things. But keeping your focus on just two to three may end up more beneficial. Sure, everyone needs a specialist. But when the opportunity presents itself, you will be able to tell future employers, customers or clients that you can add more value than the competition. So keep learning!
