some notes from my bio class! this class has the best lectures, i think i might enjoy them more than my psych class. i had my midterm yesterday and i actually think it went really well!

how to self motivate & learn on your own when your university goes online 

☁️ map out your entire course(s)

make a list of everything you need to know by the end of the term.

add HOW you will learn each outcome (textbook sections, online lecture videos e.t.c.).

make a list of all assignments you need to complete and their due dates.

☁️ make a longterm plan

add all important dates to a calendar. I personally prefer to put them on my phone and set alerts. 

make your own due-dates of when you will have outcomes learned by, based on when you will have to understand those concepts to complete assignments and assessments.

☁️ set up a work-only space

set up an area in your home that is for study/work only! make this a place where you’re able to focus without distraction.

☁️ mimic a class schedule

attend any live online classes as they occur

take notes from any pre-recorded lectures when you would usually have that lecture in a day

OR: make your own class schedule with the same number of hours per course that you had during the regular semester

keeping to a regular schedule ensures you’re on track and keeping up

☁️ ask for help!

don’t be afraid to contact your instructors and TAs!

The reality is that no matter who we are or where we have come from, new places and experiences may seem scary. That's why I believe that people with a prepared mindset are at an advantage, and for this, I leave you some little things that I would like that people in college had told me before I started my journey.

Integrate yourself. Regardless of whether you are shy or not, the best way to meet new people and facilitate this new stage is with friendships. Whether through clubs, sports or student association, I promise you that you will find people who are in the same situation as you, people who have passed through the same and above all people with whom you identify.

Enjoy. Use the resources they offer you to have unforgettable experiences. In my case, throughout the year my college offers workshops, seminars, various sports classes and other activities. Participate in some and I promise you that will bring you not only knowledge but also well-being.

Ask for help. College is a new experience, a new phase that needs adaptation and it is often difficult to get into the rhythm right away, but fortunately there are older students who don't mind helping at all, either through notes, doubts or even help you with some work. In addition, teachers are usually very accessible, with special attention during the first year. So when you need it, don't be ashamed to send them an email, go to the offices or ask for a tutor. The bare reality is that there is no one who knows better what it is necessary to put into a paper or a test answer that they.

Learn to manage yourself. Whether we want it or not college is a bundle of expenses and it is necessary to learn how to manage your money if we don't want to get to the second week of the month already without a penny. So pay attention to where your money goes. Unfortunately, I am guilty of this, but living away from college implies having to eat daily on the same or around and what isn't lacking is fast food and less healthy options available. If you do not pay attention you will be spending more money than necessary and harming your health. Choose to always bring something with you.

Experience doesn't imply extremes. The truth is you don't need to participate in everything that happens to have the best experience or the best resume, because above all too many responsibilities cause more headaches than good. Learn how to balance and say no.

Far from sight, but never far from the heart. For people who in addition to going to college will also need to move from home, I simply say this: always carry with you something that reminds you of good memories, the people you love and the place you come from.

Doubts are normal. Personal doubts weren't raised by the high school or by the application process. Adults or not, we continue to form our personality and fight for our future so is normal to have moments of doubt. The reality is that you will doubt yourself, your choices, your work and even put everything in question. But it's as simple as that, we don't always make friends right off the bat or we get the grades because we've fought so hard, it does not mean we have to give up.

You'll have to learn to deal with people. Each of us has a personality and, fortunately, no personality is the same for two different people. Whether in group work, roommates or as part of an association or club you will have to be able to deal with countless people and their personalities, some of which will make you furious. But the reality is that it will be necessary for you to deal with these situations calmly and with the greatest respect possible, hoping that this will lead to things going well.

There's something about the way museums just make you lose your mind in a rather delicate, phantasmagoric way. It's like being lost in the cosmos, but you're not lost for this is the place that your heart has always considered home.
