6 Ways to Make the Most Out of Your School Experience

When you’re a student, school might seem like it goes on forever, but it doesn’t. Just before you know it, it’ll be time to graduate. In between the note-taking, procrastinating, and pulling all-nighters, you may wonder often what the point of it all is. Unfortunately, student life can sometimes feel like an empty void. We know how stressful it can be to be unmotivated, scared, and confused. But even when we feel defeated, there is still something valuable we can always take from the hard times. Psych2Go shares with you 6 ways to make the most out of your school experience:

1. Step in with an open mind.

Take a good look around you. This is one place you’ll be spending time trying to figure out who you are. You’re going to learn a lot from your mistakes, failures, and struggles. Everyone around you will be just as lost, confused, and anxious about what comes next. But school is ultimately a safety net, so try to take as many risks as possible.

Be experimental and do all the things you’ve always wanted to do. Stay curious and never become complacent about what you accomplish. There’s always room to…

this is your reminder to have a good posture, take your medication, drink water throughout the day, and that discipline is greater than motivation.

● Seize time opportunities. If I have 15 minutes until your next class, I sit down and do homework in the hallway. If I have a long commute, I’ll do flashcards. This works because you most likely won’t have anything else to do anyways, so it’s easier to get your work done.

● Start something. When I get a lab report assignment, the first thing I do is pull up the directions and at least start the cover page and pull up some research links. It takes 5 minutes but it gets the ball rolling and makes it more likely that you’ll finish what you started.

● Auto-mode. When I procrastinating, it’s usually because I’m too busy thinking about what I’m going to do. Instead, I like to pretend I’m in “auto-mode” and just get started as fast as I can. auto-mode means shutting out distracting thoughts or pleas to watch one more funny cat video and forcing your hands to open your textbook. Works every time.

● Personally, creating time schedules don’t work for me because if I fall out of time, the whole schedule falls apart and I usually give up. Instead I use time games. I’ll tell myself something like “work as hard as you can until 11:00 sharp and if you finish, you can have a break”. This is great for developing self discipline because it’s in the moment so you can be more realistic and flexible.

● I don’t like writing down earlier due dates in my planner because it’s confusing so instead, it’s good to have some sort of mental rule. for example, my mental rule is to finish everything at least two days before the due date. following through with that will keep you on track.

● Do a little bit every day. If you have a big project, chip at it within a week rather than stressing out 2 days before it’s due. the same goes for studying for an exam. if you review lecture notes and attend office hours after class + work on flashcards throughout the week, then do a final review at the end, you’ll be well prepared and won’t need to cram. It’s a good habit and you won’t get stressed. Two birds with one stone.

● Use mornings too. I’m not really an early bird, but using mornings to get some work / chores done is great because it gives you a productive start to the day, which makes you feel proud of yourself for knocking out half of your tasks in the a.m.

a. Lay out your lecture notes / worksheets on the table the night before and open your work tabs on your computer so they’ll be the first thing you see when you turn on your computer.

b. Put your computer far away from your work space and go to sleep.

c. When you wake up, the first thing that you’ll see is your ‘paper’ work, so get it done first. then start on your ‘screen’ work (you’ll be less likely to get distracted if you do your ‘paper’ work first). when you open your laptop the first thing you’ll see are the work tabs you opened the night before. Your job is to go on auto-mode and get started.

Good luck with self-discipline. You’ll do great. -hana from thoughtscholar

STUDY STUDY STUDY- The Few Days Before Exams

My first exam (modern history) is Wednesday. Today is Sunday. For the past few days my life has been about study, study and more study. Here’s the best tips I can give you:

Start NOW

Flashcards are the best way to study- you learn while making them AND by revising

Mindmaps are also good for connecting ideas

And because they can be messy

You don’t have time to be neat and meticulous (though go ahead if it helps you)

My advice is to just make it legible enough for YOU

Remember, this is for you

Practice papers are your friend

But let’s be real, you probably don’t have time

So instead of essays do essay plans, for example

Or practice introductions, that’s useful too. It helps you come up with ideas

Take care of yourself, you’re obviously busy, but take breaks for meals at the very least

Start with the hard stuff and then do the easy stuff

For example, I have been revising history during the day and annotating books at night as part of my nighttime reading

Try and get enough sleep while you can

Don’t forget the big picture

Talk to friends & family if you’re feeling anxious

Aim for 100%- Know as much as you possibly can, even if you don’t expect to get 100

Learn the structure of your exams, it’s so much less daunting on the day

Utilise your teachers if you need them

Breathe, it’ll be okay

You got this

Don’t forget to prepare the materials you’ll need

And go ace those exams :)

the worst thing about college is that classes are either like

midterm - 30%

paper - 30%

final - 40%

or they’re like

attendance - 5%

participation - 10%

reading reactions (5 papers worth 2% each) - 10%

midterm - 20% (15% for grad students)

final paper rough draft - 5%

final paper - 15%

group presentation - 10%

final exam - 20% (25% for grad students)

stapling your papers in the correct corner - 2%

breathing - 8%

that’s it no in between

For one of my courses we had to do weekly assignments (that were 500 words) worth 1.37% of our grade.

my lil tips for feeling better

face:

wash your face at least once a day, with a cleanser and a moisturizer that works for your skin (you can add a toner and serum to the routine too)

keep a lip balm on you at all times

please try to remember to brush your teeth. i know, you’re very sleepy and your bed is very comfortable, but still

try out some face masks every once in awhile!

hair:

find a shampoo and conditioner that really works for you and makes your hair smell nice

try to skip using the heat tools and embrace the natural look, your hair will thank you for it

deep conditioner? hair masks? argan oil? go for it

for those of you with long hair: keep a hair tie on you at all times

hands:

keep a small hand cream in your purse to keep your hands from getting dry after washing them

maybe keep a cuticle cream in your purse too? (it really helps me stop picking at my cuticles because this motion is actually a good kind of fidgeting instead of harmful, and it keeps them from drying out in the process)

paint your nails a light beige/pink neutral color. it’s subtle but looks so elegant and goes with everything

body:

moisturize!!!!! after every shower!!!! whether it be lotion or coconut oil or what, it’s important!! dry skin is uncomfortable and does not make you feel better

find a perfume you like and spray it on whenever you need a lil pick-me-up. smelling nice = feeling nice

take a multivitamin every! day!

and take your medications! don’t forget!

try to incorporate eating something kinda healthy every day (maybe just one fruit! that’s all!)

failure is simply the opportunity to begin again; this time more intelligently.

failure is your teacher, not your judge

don’t confuse a single failure with a final defeat

self care for when you don’t feel motivated
