Tps That Wll Get You Good Grades n

College
Are you a returnng learner? Has t been years snce you were n school? Do
you fear gong nto a class wth kds half your age? t s okay. There are
many n the same boat. Read ths artcle to learn more about others lke
you. You wll understand that you can do t, too.

1. When you enter college, try to reduce the amount of starches that you
eat durng your freshman year. Typcally, you wll put on a lot of
weght n the ntal stages of college, as ths wll help you to counter
that. Try to ncorporate a lot of fruts and vegetables nto your det.

2. As you prepare to attend college, wrte all the thngs you have to take
down on a lst. Even f you are attendng school close to home, t s
much more convenent to have everythng wth you rather than
callng your parents to delver thngs. f the classes you're attendng
are far away from your home, then ths s defntely true.

3. n your frst semester, you should take some gen ed classes. f there's
one class you're really not lookng forward to, but you need t to
graduate, take t early so you can later focus on the classes you really
lke. Moreover, n four years you don't want to fnd yourself the sole
senor n a classroom of only freshmen.

4. Choose a college that has an envronment you'd enjoy explorng. n

addton to a beautful campus, your school should be n a cty or
town that you would enjoy explorng. You are gong to be here for

four years and mght move nto the surroundng communty when
you fnsh college, so make sure you enjoy where you wll be lvng
and studyng.

5. f possble, you should avod schedulng classes one after the other.
You are gong to need breaks durng the day. The best tme for these
breaks s after a class. Ths tme wll allow you to wnd down, prepare
for your next class or study f needed. Take these opportuntes when
you can.

6. Do not wat untl last mnute to study. When you know you have an
upcomng test, study a lttle each nght. By watng to study untl the
nght before your test, you rsk burnng yourself out. Chances are you
wll go to take the test and your mnd wll draw a blank.

7. When you are studyng for a test, t s mportant that you take a break
once n awhle. Studyng can take a toll on both your physcal and
mental health, especally f you do not allow yourself a breather now
and then. Take a walk or watch some TV for a lttle whle.

8. f you are lookng to get the most out of class then you should st n
the front row. Ths allows you to keep from gettng dstracted, and
keeps you focused on the lecture. You are more apt to answer
questons because you can not see all of the eyes n the class on you.

9. f money s tght, and your choce s to ether take out a loan or leave
school, the smart choce s always to get a loan. Even though ths may
put you n the lurch temporarly and add to your current burdens, f
you have chosen your major wsely, t wll ncrease your earnng
power. You should be able to pay your loan back wth your ncreased

earnngs. Leavng school s a sure way to guarantee low earnng

power for lfe.

10.
Use statstcs to narrow down your college choces, but not to
make the fnal decson. The rght college for you s a good match to
you personally, not a prze that you wn. Never select a school because
a lot of your frends are gong there, nor because t holds a numberone poston on some publshed lst. Only a vst to the campus can
really tell you f t s rght.

11. Learn to prortze your classes n regard to study tme. Not all of your
classes wll be ntensve for you. Those classes that you excel n, are
often easy for you and do not requre as much study tme. Be smart
and use that study tme for other classes that do requre more of your
attenton; however, always refocus your efforts should challenges
arse n the easy class.

12.Practce rememberng mportant detals. The most effectve way to

remember s to frst choose to remember, then create a pcture n
your mnd of what you need to remember. Form an assocaton n
your mnd between thngs you already know and the new nformaton
you need to remember. Repeat the process to make the memory
permanent.

13.Carefully choose what you want to major n. Do not pck a major just
because t s popular, or t s what your parents want you to study.
You need to choose a market that you can see yourself n for years to
come, as choosng the wrong major could lead to unhappness.

14.Delay partcpatng n student government untl your second year n

college. Such assocatons are not only very tme-consumng, they
very rarely accept freshmen as equals. nstead of jonng the SGA,
take the year to dscover what you are passonate about and how you
wll run for a poston.

15. There are tmes when you wll not enjoy the classes you take, but they
may be necessary. Try your best even though you have lttle nterest
n them; t s better to try your hardest.

16.Get a calendar or planner. When you get your syllabus from each
teacher, mark the due dates for all assgnments on the calendar so
that you can keep track of what needs to be done when. That way you
won't have to study or wrte a paper at the last mnute.

Now that you have read ths, you should know that a degree s attanable. t
does take hard work and dscplne. But, f you have taken tme off from
school for kds, you already have that. You deserve to treat yourself to the
educaton you have always dreamed of havng.
