 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 of work you are trying to do.

·      The best places to study have god light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk place – 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 fellow students are available for discussion.

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

Improve your Study Habits

·      Have a routine for when and where you study.

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

·      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.

Part 2

3) Heart: Always to 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. When 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 you direction, even true north, your internal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

 4) Soul: Study scripts 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 and excellent Soul-sharping activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations concerns, and decisions in a diary 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.

" You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible"

Ezra Taft Benson

This quote means that if you do something wrong you cant feel right about it. For example if you ditch school and you get caught or if you don't you cannot feel right or feel like you did the right thing. It isn't right when you do something wrong and you feel good about it. It is only right if you did something good and feel good about it. Or if you don't graduate high school you shouldn't feel good about it or be proud that you didn't graduate.

Habit 3

Habit 3: Put first things first

Habit three is about Will and Will Not power. These habits teens prioritize and manage their times so that they focus on complete the most important things 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 deals with things that are:

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: Things that are important and Urgent

Quadrant 2: things that is important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are urgent

Quadrant 4: things that is 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 our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come to play. The results for living Quadrant 2 are:

1.  Control of 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 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 eyes on the prize and reach for it.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 1

(By Sean Covey but modified)

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others by their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, 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 achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibility, their obligation. Choosing to do what is right is proactive decisions. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take initiative.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. 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 peer pressure? Motivation? Success or thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them reach their goals and live a successful life.

While its all well and 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 slackers. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

Profile of a Successful Student

A successful student…

..Takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be powerful stimulating engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most—if not all—of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, sell-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

..Is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activates all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU writing center is available to assist you.

..Is willing to be a member of a learning community

" Goodness is the only investment that never fails"

-Henry David Thorean 

i think this quote means that whatever is good that it never fails. Like if you do something good it won't bring any trouble or bad consequences to you. And if you do something wrong then it will fail, and bring a lot of problems and consequences your way. Like if you have money and you go buy drugs and drinks its not good and will fail because something bad will probably happen and harm you. It is a true statement.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that a time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in 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 follow others. Failure to take control of their time is probably the no.  I study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse makers. Don’t make academics harder than it had to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it.
