The first semester of your studies in Munich starts in a few weeks? Congratulations, you'll soon be able to throw yourself into student life in Munich!
So that you can enjoy your studies AND start your first semester motivated at the same time, we have the best tips for you on how you can get off to a flying start in the (admittedly sometimes very depressing) winter semester!
Studying in Munich: No excuses
Very important: It's best not to start with something like "Today it's actually far too gray/rainy/sunny/slippery/beautiful... to study." Studying - and especially your first semester - shouldn't be associated with excuses! Instead of thinking negatively and putting things off, instead at least look for alternatives that are still useful for you.
Example: "It's too nice to study today, but I'll go for a jog and enjoy my student life in Munich in a different way."
Divide time sensibly
A word that you will certainly come across more often when it comes to your motivation in the first (and also in the following!) semester of your studies in Munich: time management. This is the be-all and end-all of studying, both in Munich and everywhere else - and, by the way, it can also be wonderfully transferred to your entire life.
Set up a schedule as early as possible and stick to it as best you can! So you will definitely not lose motivation in the first semester.
Example: Morning exercise, going to university at 10 a.m., but free time in the afternoon.
Equip yourself properly to motivate yourself for your first semester of study in Munich!
Nothing is as depressing as a laptop that charges for hours. No wonder you think to yourself: If it takes so long, I'll just leave it alone with my student life in Munich... Stop, it doesn't have to be that way! Take a look here for offers and gain new courage.
Here you will not only find cool and absolutely inexpensive laptops, but also student discounts for every technology your heart could desire!
Plan enough free time for your studies in Munich
Extremely important for mental well-being! If you think right from the start that university is only associated with stress, then it can't work at all with the relaxed study in Munich. You should really enjoy the first semester in particular!
Now in the winter semester you can, for example, take wonderful long walks by lakes, go to Christmas markets in December and drink a few mulled wines or of course go to a few student parties that almost every club throws at the start of the semester.
Example: Here you can find out what's going on where and when.
Make contacts!
If motivation wanes in the first semester, find allies! Be sure, you're not the only one who doesn't feel like going to the library in sub-zero temperatures and rain. Nobody has that. Really nobody!
You would love to lie in bed all day, watch series and not move. But sometimes that just doesn't work - it's good when you have good friends who have the motivation for two and can pull you along! This makes studying in Munich twice as much fun!
