How to Take on College Studying


     How to Take on College Studying
Develop Good Study Habits
In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are use to.
You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.
Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your skills.
Decide When to Study
Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.
Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.
Consider what time of day you are most alert-there are morning people and night owls-and try to schedule your studying accordingly.
Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”
Reflection: What I think about this quote is that it’s true if your choosing the right your making the right decisions and the best ones. For example if you have a choice from going out or staying in and get your work done if you choose to stay in and get your work done you know that your making the right decisions and it always feel good. 

10 Time Management Tips for Student..


10 Time Management Tips for Students
                            Tips 5-10
Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.
Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve learned, so you need less time to study before test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.
Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others.
If phone calls or text messages are proving to be distraction, tell your friend that you are only available at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.
Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.
Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.
Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.
Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.
Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities.
You can’t do everything at once. Establish the important of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

7 habits of highly successful teens part 1


    7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
                                           Habit 7
                                            Part 1
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life-body, mind, hear, and soul
1) Body. Eat wholesome, foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”
2) Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”

       7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
                               Habit 6
Habit 6: Synergize
Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living  the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.
A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, It’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.
