Stepping into university life, many freshmen feel both excitement and uncertainty. Gone are the hand holding schedules of high school and the teachers who supervised every step of the way. Instead, a vast new world opens one where one must chart his or her own path. So how do you keep pressure from holding you back and instead turn your first year into a powerful launchpad for growth and success?
Work in Teams—But Don’t “Carry the Team”
If you could finish assignments single handedly in high school, university is a different game. Teamwork isn’t optional it’s essential. Group work isn’t just about completing a project; it develops communication, coordination, responsibility, and problem solving skills qualities employers often value even more than your GPA.
Phúc Điền, a third year IT student, once found himself single handedly carrying a five member project team. The stress became so overwhelming he nearly wanted to “cut ties” with his teammates. After that painful experience, he learned his lesson:
“You need clear task division and a proper timeline.”
Even more interesting, Điền discovered a useful “hack”: holding team meetings at a café, working while chilling with Zero Degree Green Tea.
“The atmosphere instantly becomes more relaxed. Everyone’s refreshed, more open, and ideas flow more easily. For successful teamwork, stress relief is just as important as solving the assignment,” he emphasizes.
The experience of Thúy Quỳnh, a second year Marketing student, highlights another challenge: balancing differences within a team. Everyone has their own timetable, personality, and working style.
“If you’re not careful, you’ll end up doing everything yourself. The trick is aligning expectations early. And honestly, group sessions get way less stressful when there’s Zero Degree Green Tea its Thai Nguyen green tea and EGCG really help cool the mood so everyone feels more open and connected,” she says.
Teamwork in university is not just task allocation it’s an art of connection and empathy. When you listen, respect differences, and add a little stress relief “spice,” ‘I work’ becomes ‘we work’, turning pressure into momentum for collective success.
Active Exploration: The Key to Leveling Up
Trường Minh, a second year Robotics & AI student, entered university timid and introverted. But just a few months later, he transformed after joining the Robotics Club and volunteering to teach computer science to underprivileged children.
From a quiet student, Minh grew confident in presentations, learned to collaborate, and most importantly discovered his true career passion.
“Whenever I’m stressed by deadlines, I ‘reset’ with a bottle of Zero Degree Green Tea. It cools me down, relieve stress, and gives me the clarity to think of new ideas,” Minh shares.
Thiên An, a third year Tourism student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture, chose a different path: studying while freelancing as a tour guide. At first, juggling classes and tour groups was exhausting. But the more she tried, the more she grew her communication, problem solving, and real world experience skyrocketed.
“When I’m tired, all I need is an ice cold bottle of Zero Degree Green Tea with EGCG to cool off, relieve stress, and lift my mood to keep going,” An reveals.
These stories show that university isn’t just about theories it’s a grand stage for trial, error, learning, and transformation. Stress is simply byproduct for gaining valuable life experience. And the secret to not being overwhelmed is knowing how to unwind at the right time, stay refreshed, and keep moving forward.
