Top New Year’s Resolutions for Aspiring Students

Can you believe it’s already 2025? A new year means a fresh start for all of us, and it’s the perfect time to set resolutions. Whether you’re preparing for college or university, still in high school, or figuring out your next steps, having clear goals and a plan can make all the difference. In this blog, we’ll share some New Year’s resolutions that can help set you up for success—and how we’re here to support you every step of the way.

  1. New Year’s Resolution: Be More Organised

Does your desk look like a cyclone hit it? Is your phone filled with unopened notifications or hundreds of unread emails? If so, it’s time to get organised! Using a planner or apps like your phone’s calendar can help you stay on top of deadlines and schedules. At Sydney Institute of Business and Technology (SIBT), we offer flexible programs help you balance life and study, so it’s easier to stay on top of things.

  1. New Year’s Resolution: Stop Procrastinating (especially with study!)

Let’s be honest—procrastination happens to the best of us. But it’s time to take charge! Create a chill study space away from distractions, break up your work into smaller chunks, and find what works for you to help you stay focused—like study playlists.

  1. New Year’s Resolution: Master Time Management

We know you’ve heard it before, but mastering time management really is a game-changer. Prioritising your tasks with a to-do list can save you so much stress. And if you’re thinking of fast-tracking your course with SIBT and finishing in just 8 months, then time management is your best friend.

  1. New Year’s Resolution: Try Something New

Life isn’t just about studying. Try some new things—whether it’s joining a club, picking up a new hobby, or even just getting out of your comfort zone. Here at SIBT, we encourage our students to get involved in stuff outside of class so that you can grow as a person, not just as a student.

  1. New Year’s Resolution: Set Career Path

This is the perfect time to think about your dream career and how to make it happen. Whether it’s designing apps, developing new buildings, or becoming a CEO, start mapping it out. Look into courses that match your goals and research career paths. SIBT’s pathway programs make it easy to fast-track into the second year of a bachelor’s degree at Western Sydney University, Sydney City Campus. Or with your diploma, you can start your career.

  1. New Year’s Resolution: Prioritise Your Wellbeing

If you’re living on junk food, barely sleeping, and spending most of your time on the couch, reaching your goals becomes so much harder. Focus on taking care of yourself – get enough sleep, eat nutritious food, and maybe try some meditation or yoga (there are so many free apps for that). Our supportive environment and student services make sure that you’ve got the help you need if things ever get tough.

Wrapping It Up

The New Year is all about fresh starts and big dreams. Whether you’re tackling uni prep or just trying to get your life together, these resolutions can help you crush it. And remember, SIBT is here to help you every step of the way. From flexible pathways to supportive programs, we’ve got everything you need to make 2025 your best year yet.
