As a student, your number one goal is to stay focused so that you can complete all you need to in order to graduate and move on, but maintaining that high level of focus can itself be a tricky skill to master for most students. So how can a student improve their powers of concentration and focus and with that improved skill find greater success in their studies?

Well, like with most things, it will take a little getting used to and a lot of hard work. First and foremost, however, it is important for all students, whether they are pursuing their accounting degree or a degree in graphic arts, to know that with improved concentration will come improved performance in school and in future careers.

1. The "Freshman 15" This myth may have held more truth a couple of decades ago when high fat, carb loaded, super processed foods were the main dish on every dining plan.

These days the emphasis on healthy, nutritious food means that even your dining plan has the variety that you need to eat right. Many schools also provide gym discounts or give students free access to exercise equipment and facilities.

The beauty of business is that a degree in this field can be applied to almost any niche and any interest in the world. Many small business owners and burgeoning entrepreneurs have brilliant ideas that fit or fill a much needed hole in their respective markets. Unfortunately many of them, while experts in their craft, have no idea how to run a successful business. Earning a business degree in today's economy can be one of the best ways to ensure that you always have something solid to fall back on.

A simple idea that helps a person to acknowledge their issue with frequent lapses of concentration is to keep track of the number of times in a day in which they get distracted from what they are trying to accomplish. This does not mean take a tally of every time the mind wanders from thinking of long term goals, but rather of making note of each time the mind wanders from the task at hand.

By simply keeping track throughout the day of how many times they are getting distracted from whatever activities they are undertaking, a person will be able to not only help curb their distracted nature but also see the effect their lack of focus is having on their time.

In a relatively short time frame, those who keep a simple tally of how often they get distracted will find that they are getting distracted less as the issue is brought to the forefront.

That being said, you don't have to do it all on your own. Seek out professors, advisors, and students who can mentor you both academically and personally and build a network of people on whom you can rely and place your trust.

These are not the only myths about college that exist, though they may be among the most common. Whether you're pursuing a business administration degree, a degree in dance, or you are just starting and have no idea what you want to do, understanding these myths can give you a huge advantage as you pursue a college degree.
