How to Take on College Studying

(Part 2)

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type or work you are planning to do.

·        The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desks space-usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

·        For completing problems sets or brainstorms possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where follow students are available for discussion.

·        When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

·        Have routine for where and when you study

·        Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session

·        Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of day.

·        Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.

·        Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.

·        Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it

Jenna Hub helps Debb in Cross Country Race

Summary:

Jenna Huff is a sophomore and was running in a cross country race. She was trying to catch up to her competitor, Debb, but she ran three miles and Jenna couldn't catch up to Debb. But after running three miles, Debb's hip snapped and after that she stopped running and moaned in pain. Jenna was coming up behind her and notice that Debb had stopped after running three miles. Jenna knew this was her chance to pass Deb and cross the finish line, but she felt bad for Debb that instead of passing her, Jenna stopped, got Debb's arm, and encouraged her to run. When they both got to the finish line, Jenna pushed Debb towards the finish line so she can win.

Reflection:

What I see here is a very good person that is caring for someone that she was competing against, she has good sportsmanship for what she has done she is a very great person for her doings. She was nice enough to stop her race and chance to win and to go and help her with her injuries and she didn’t even care if Debb won the thing she still help and was rewarded nicely with a Sportsmanship award.

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 then those you are used 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 in class, labs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential.  Learn more about time management, and user the guidelines below to develop your study 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 the 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.

What this person is trying to say is that why hangout with bad influences and gets yourself into trouble would you rather be with alone minding your own business or would you rather be with a person that will get you in trouble when it wasn’t even any of your doings. I rather be with my self-enjoying my music than rather being taken to a police station for something that I didn’t even do, and plus if you do the badness can rub on to you and then next you know it you’re the one getting tickets and going to jail for your actions, and what does that show the others around you? That you’re a no good criminal yourself. Also what about the kids that look up to you, they are going to think that all the bad things you do are right.

Organizing your life

Managing your time well is an important element of success-especially if you’re a student. If you set priorities that fit your needs and life style, you’ll have a better chance of achieving your goals. Here are some tips for taking control of your time and organizing your life.

Tip 1. Make a to-do-list every day.

Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. And don’t forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments.

Tip 2. It’s okay to say no.

If your friends ask you to go to a movie on a Thursday night and you have an exam the next morning, realize that it’s ok to say no. keep your short-and long term priorities in mind.

Tip 4. Find the right time.

You’ll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example, if your brain handles math better in the afternoon, don’t wait to do it until late night.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens:

Habit 7 Part 2

Habit 7: sharpen the Saw

3)   Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. What you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass—it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to tread.

4) Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent soul- sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feeling, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness) your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew them-selves. 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 keys dimension of life-body, mind, and soul.

1.     Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruit, veggies, legumes avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Getting plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes 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.”

“Alone we can do so little: together we can do so much.”

Reflection:

What I think that this person is trying to say is that someone can do stuff on their own but they can only do a little but they think that they can do better alone but when someone has help their they can do a lot together because of the teamwork they are doing it with more help so the do much more than a person doing it alone. That’s why it’s not bad to ask for help it’s nothing to be embarrassed about it doesn’t make you weak either. Ask for help if you need it.

Habit 6

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either cloud alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergize allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergize is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better way, a higher way. Synergize allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergize 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. Synergize doesn’t just happed. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is: Learning to celebrate differences.

A good back is a greater example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, its all of the together that makes up the “sound”. Each brand member brings his or her strength to the table to create something better than each other could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

“So often in your quest to me more popular and to be part of the “in group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

-Sean Covey

Reflection:

What I think that Sean is trying to say is that many people think that being popular is the key in life that they forget of the important things in life that used to matter before one just thought of being popular. Why be popular and be a fake person when you can be you, be known for you not some person that you are trying to be. What are you going to do after high school if all you’re doing is just trying to be popular, because no one later in life is going to take you seriously after that because you spent your whole years in high school trying to be popular and now you’re in the real world were know even cares if you were popular. Then you are going to forget the real you of how you were as a baby and was raised as. So who cares about being popular just be you, like is says in my blog:

Don’t be Afraid to show YOURSELF out there!!

Don’t change for ANYBODY!!

Be who YOU want to be!!

Be YOU!

Habit 5

5. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood? This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active learning.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected the valued for who they are a unique, expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, of the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent).

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. Learn and listen and listen and learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood—LISTEN.

Habit 4

4. Think win-win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourage the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishment of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and thought all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of pie. Theirs more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all you can eat buffet. Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefits of thinking Win-Win is good feelings it brings on. The true test to whether you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-lose and Loss-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and feel you with negative feeling.

Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thought. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think win-win or no deal.

Habit 3

Habit 3: put first things first

Habit three is all about WILL and WILL NOT power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they foucus on and complete the most important thngs in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. Its living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deal with things that are: important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of tie management.

Quadrant 1: things that are important or urgent

Quadrant 2: things that are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important and not urgent

Quadrant 4: things that are not important and not urgent

1.    Important & urgent	2.    Important but not urgent
3.    Not important but are urgent	4.    NOT important and Not urgent

Quadrant 2: is the ideal place to spend your time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living quadrant 2 are:

1.   Control your life

2.   Balance

3. High performance

So in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eye on the prize and reach for it.

Habit 2

Habit 2: begin with the end in mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eye on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized that achievements for your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind.  Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize one goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity-that you earned it with perfect honestly.

Habit 1: Be proactive

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility of her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievements or their assignments, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligation. Choosing to do what is write is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school polices. Obey your parents.  Obey the exactness, and great things will come to you.

7 Habits of Highly Successful

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And =, being the parent of the teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with their peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all is good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them

Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learn that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in good control of their life.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or followers others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills program for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students. Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!
