has school started for you already? or is it starting soon? either way, it’s good to develop healthy habits! 

start practicing habits now!

understand the purpose behind starting this habit! it helps

is it to be healthier?

is it to be more neat or organized?

find an accountability partner

that someone who keeps you from eating a cookie no matter how hard you beg

possibly someone who also wants to start a healthy habit so you can keep each other accountable at the same time

if you only learn one habit, start small

i made my bed everyday for a month as a challenge; that was 3 years ago. i still make my bed everyday

don’t be discouraged if you don’t manage to do the habit every single day! it’s a process, but not impossible as long as your habits are realistic and achievable 

happy habits!

hoping a studyblr helps me stay motivated to enjoy school and keep my notes neat! :) i’ll mostly post pictures about notes and advice about college that i learn throughout the year. Thanks Emma! 

[echeverya-blog]

things i’m learning in college

go to office hours ESPECIALLY if you know you’ll need letters of rec for grad school

missing out is not bad; you’ll appreciate those extra hours of sleep or study

write permanent dates in a planner or calendar at the beginning of the quarter/semester/year. this saves you lots of time, but make sure you write the correct dates! (i know people who have missed finals entirely because they didn’t double-check dates)

c’s get degrees should NOT be your motto. seriously. if you’re going to fail a class, sometimes it’s better to fail the class and retake it to get several letter grades better (this is more for people who need grad school requirements)

if you are going to grad school, check prereqs EARLY EARLY EARLY so that you aren’t scrambling to get the necessary grades/experience hours to get into the schools

when setting goals, think SMART

Specific - clearly define your goal, but don’t go too far with details

Measurable - short-term or long-term end dates or ideas of success

Achievable - feel challenged, but know your limits 

Realistic - look at outcomes you are willing and able to work for

Timely - don’t say “someday” or use vague terms to define the goal

experiment with study methods! i plan to do that this year and document it

read your notes upside down

type your notes and rewrite them

use different note-taking methods

record yourself saying important points (cringy, i know, but apparently it’s enough to stick it to your brain)

study in different areas/settings

if you don’t care too much about GE’s, then take those classes at community college; they’re loads easier and cheaper than typical public universities

you need sleep. period. poor sleep can lead to weight gain, digestive problems, skin problems, mood problems, lots of problems

happy studying!
