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 of work you are planning to do.

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

·       For completing problem sets or brainstorming 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 a 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 the day.

·       Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material 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 Huff

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

Reflection:
What I thought about how Jenna acted upon this is I thought that was really nice of her to let Deb, her competitor, to finish first and how Jenna helped her run to the finish line. If that were to happen like that with me, I would have done the same thing, just to be kind and sportsmanlike.

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 a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends 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 importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

“Its Better To Be Alone Than To Be In Bad Company.”

                    ANON

Reflection:
What this statement probably means is that being around people that you are not supposed to be with is much worse than being by yourself. In other words, being around bad people is much more severe than being alone. For example, it is better to do your homework by yourself than being with your "friends" being at the movies or an arcade instead of doing your homework or other important work.
