Yes, you did not think mid-terms would be so early in the semester right?

Take a deep breath and get yourself in ORGANIZED! <\/b><\/div>\n<div>Especially if you are freshmen you will come to see that there are many differences in studying for college courses versus how you may have studied in high school. Regular worksheets are replaced by many midterms and exams which require knowledge about concepts rather than simple memorization of facts. You will find it easier if you adapt their study habits to the college setting. Here are some tips for getting started:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Find the right place to study<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Get a buddy<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Use daylight hours<span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Study in chunks<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Study actively<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Rank your classes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><b><u><span>Finding the right place:<\/span><\/u><\/b><span> it is essential to find the right place to study; it is always good to find a nice quiet area to get all your thoughts organized and away from distraction.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b><u><span>Get a Buddy: <\/span><\/u><\/b><span>I know many people like to study alone because they feel a buddy would be a distraction, which in great part could be true, BUT if you find a buddy from your same class it could be VERY helpful to study with them. Your buddy might have written down some notes that you missed but needed. There you! The buddy saved you! Or you can even save your buddy! Always good to help as well as receive help =)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b><u><span>Use daylight hours:<\/span><\/u><\/b><span> many night owls (like me) wait until the very last minute, at night, to study, but it is shown not to be such a good way of doing it. Studying while it is still light out gives you a clear mind to soak up all the knowledge! LET\u2019S GET INTO THIS HABIT! That way you have the rest of the evening\/night to do whatever you want. Doesn\u2019t it sound awesome?<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b><u><span>Study in chunks &amp; Study Actively:<\/span><\/u><\/b><span> you don\u2019t have to over study, you just have to select a large part of your reading, go to the library after class read for an hour or two and then go home, attend your club meetings, or meet up with some friends, you can do that because you did your studying early, YEY YOU!<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b><u><span>Rank your classes:<\/span><\/u><\/b><span> This is very helpful, keep checking your syllabus, or maybe write down in your agenda every test or assignment that is due, look through those and then rank your classes weekly. For example the top three classes that have something due soon, those are the ones you study for. It becomes less stressful than trying to read every day a little from each class. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;line-height: 115%\">Day to Day<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-indent: -.25in\"><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span>\u00b7<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Take good notes<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-indent: -.25in\"><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span>\u00b7<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Be involved in your classes<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-indent: -.25in\"><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span>\u00b7<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Review your notes everyday<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-indent: -.25in\"><span style=\"font-family: Symbol\"><span>\u00b7<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Keep up on your reading<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-indent: -0.25in\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-indent: -0.25in\">If&nbsp; you follow all these tips, in NO TIME you will be looking more like this:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-indent: -0.25in\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-VomgHDO_r9s\/UGnENR-Qo5I\/AAAAAAAAAU0\/pq8E3IbSfSA\/s1600\/can-stock-photo_csp7301238.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"224\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-VomgHDO_r9s\/UGnENR-Qo5I\/AAAAAAAAAU0\/pq8E3IbSfSA\/s320\/can-stock-photo_csp7301238.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/> <\/a>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! im suuuuuureeeee you will do well =D<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\">&lt;3 Giselle <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-indent: -0.25in\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buenos Dias!
