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 planning to do.

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

ü      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.

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

ü      Improve Your Study Skills: here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

ü      Have a routine for where and when to study.

ü      Chose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

Jenna Huff's Kindness

SUMMARY: well, a young girl named Jenna Huff who was a state competition runner, was competing in a race for the State Championship and she was against a girl named Deb Guthman, and all of a sudden, near the finish line where Deb was approaching, she collapses into a break position. she then decided to help Deb to the finish line, quoting, "it was the right time to choose the right." Deb won the State Championship and Jenna didnt.

REFLECTION: i agree with what Jenna said because when you see the perfect chance where you are able to choose the right, then you should take it because it may not be what you desire, but at least youll be recognized as though The Person That Chose The Right. people should always be kind to others in order for others to be kind to them. CTR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 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 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 study skills.

Decide When to Study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

Ø         Figure out what6 blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on the weekends.

Ø         Consider what time of day you are most alert—there are morning people and night owls—and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

Ø         Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

SSS: "choosing the right is always the right thing to do." Alex Linares

REFLECTION: i agree with this statement because you should always choose the right under any circumstances no matter what because you will always have to choose the right when the time for choosing the wrong comes along in your path.

EXAMPLE: lets say you have an exam the next day, on a monday, and your friends invite you to a party. but most likely like a little kick back. therefore you say well its just a kick back so i will attend. then you go and you come back very very late and werent able to study. so therefore you fail the test the following day.

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, heart, 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 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.”

SSS: " alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."                     - Helen Keller


REFLECTION: i believe that this statement is true because, when we are alone, we cant really do much...but when we have our group of well-committed friends to help us, we can do/achieve ANYTHING!!!!

FOR EXAMPLE: lets say you are assigned to do a group project, and you only have yourself because you decided that you knew the whole material so therefore, you can do it on your own. but, as you begin your project, you start to realize that you cannot do it by yourself because there are some materials you didnt study and the project is due the next day!!! therefore, you contact your friends to come and help you because you need their assistance. so they come over and help you and you ended up with the best project you ever did because you added EVEN MORE INFORMATION than you needed. you thank your friends and let the teacher know they were there to help you ans you and your friends recieve an 'A+'.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens (Habit 6)

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieving when two or more people work together to create something. 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 a 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.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens (Habit 5)

Habit 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 sill there is: active listening.

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 and valued for who they are—a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t 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, or the tone feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk and listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood--- listen.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

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 important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are 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 our 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 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 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 eyes on the prize and reach for it.

Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

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.

REFLECTION: i believe that this statement is true because keeping your eye on the prize means choosing the right and it is true that we should choose the right no matter what happens and make sure we are always choosing the right in order to get something good... or in other words, a prize.


EXAMPLES: lets say you are at a fair and you decide that you want to win a bear and as you are waiting for your turn, you see the kids in front of you cheating on the game but winning big prizes. so when its your turn, they give you the supplies to try to win but before you try, you choose the right and tell the man that those kids cheated... so he calls them over, takes away their big prizes, and tells them to get lost before they call security. and then when the man tells you to try to win a big prize, you try your hardest...but you end up getting a small prize... so therefore, you stick your hand out to retrieve your prize, and the next thing you know, the man hands you a big prize and he says to you, here, you deserve it. and he asks, but i didnt win! and he responds, no but you did choose the right.

Takes responsibility for his/her own learning.

Online learning can be a 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. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience-this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all the key qualities to ensuring success in an online course! While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, 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.
