These are the notes to remember for another semester that is coming. These are the things that I should have used/done efficiently before, but I was lacking. And it is better to reflect to avoid another mistake and be wiser the second time.
A planner is a life-saver
Life duties would be somehow manageable if I had a planner. I was not aware that I would be of need of a planner since I am used to remembering my schedule. But it would not work here in UP. Everyone has tons of obligations that he/she should fulfill later on. And, it has to meet the deadline or else, the work would be less than what you think is its worth. In other words, to avoid missed activities and such, remember to use a planner. It does not mean that you only have to use it, but the more important is, you have done your work promptly through your well-planned and organized schedule.
Finish the work first before the reward
In most cases, we tend to tell ourselves that for us to work well, we first need motivation. It is something that would freshen us up just like watching our favorite TV series, before taking a moment to outline the paper that is to be submitted. And because of that constant alibi, we are always on the edge of cramming. Instead of already revising the work, it would only be the time that you will be thinking of how to start it. It is the habit that we should take focus on to be changed. More time and space create more productive work.
Study when it’s time to study
I would suggest that if you’re studying for exams, you should avoid taking another task at the same time. It would not be working the way you think it works. Multitasking would eat much time since you have no focus on either task. In that way, instead of working faster for efficiency, you are then consuming more time to a lesser fruitful.
Grab every incentive
It means more incentives, more chances of pulling your grades up, and more additional outdoor learning. Try to attend every activity as much as possible. There’s always good karma that awaits you, after all. It’s a win-win situation. You have gain learning and experiences outside the four corners of the room, you have met professionals aside from your professors, and you have extra credit for attending. It serves as the door for more opportunities that both the college and university will provide for you to grow up and be more ready for the real-life outside the campus.
Stay motivated
Wake up motivated and end your day motivated as well. It is helpful to have the motivation to strive harder and work best every time. It ignites your capability and ability as a person. It drives you to do more and explore things that you’re not comfortable with to better assess yourself. It makes you optimistic. It keeps you away from the feeling of lacking and unloved and being not enough for your dreams.So, always think of why you started: your purpose and goals. At the same time, remember how you started: what you are today because of what you accomplished yesterday and the previous years in your life.
First semester done, more semesters to come. More experiences, learning, and challenges will come and test us. Better to be equipped with the learning from the past, gifts of the present, and hopes and dreams for the future.
