we had our student wellness seminar today and there was a brief session about how to be more focused and excel at studies. So I took down a few points and I hope this helps<3
Effective and consistent study helps you to show what you know and avoid excessive test stress.
Identify 1 topic per week to teach someone else. Keep sessions under 40 minutes and include a few minutes for review.
Create practice tests with true/false, fill in and multiple–choice questions covering each lecture or text chapter.
Record the date you complete each assignment and take a quiz about the concepts and problems you completed.
Test yourself by writing summaries, facts, examples or diagrams without looking at notes or text.
When studying, first take an untimed practice test provided by the instructor or in chapters of the text.
Schedule time to reread chapter introductions, summaries, vocabulary lists and illustrations prior to tests.
Separate parts of the course that require memorization of facts versus analysis of concepts or problem solving.
Limit your efforts to memorize tedious facts and formulae to 25–minute periods so that you stay alert and effective.
Use sketches and diagrams to specify the process and tasks needed to complete a long–term project.
Stop interruptions by alerting others about the times you are unavailable because you are studying.
If you can’t study in total quiet, use a form of white noise such as a fan or soft music.
Get at least 7 hours of sleep to give you the mental and physical energy needed to concentrate in lectures and when reading.
Increase your ability to focus if you are upset. Take 5 minutes to write concerns or questions. Then shift into a work mode.
Give yourself a high five after a session in which you focus and learn. Recognize and reward yourself for a job well done.
Keep your eyes closed and switch scenes. Imagine a situation in which you had an academic success. Congratulate yourself for a job well done.
Increase the amount of information you remember after studying - review information within 24 to 48 hours.
yeah that was it. i found it vaguely interesting that my school is actually caring about us but anyway here you. hope this helps and hope we both get good grades :)

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to read this message!
For creative, personal and work-related reasons, your resident ethereal, sparkling and chonky aesthete is relocating from Chicago to New Orleans this summer! A cross-country move is expensive, so my goal with this gofundme is to cover the costs to transport my belongings, as well as have a head start on the rent for my housing as I transition and begin to work.
Donations via via gofundme, as well as via Venmo (@iridessence), cashapp ($iridessence) or PayPal are welcome.
Thank you for considering and/or sharing!
