No one suffers from the superman complex more than college students. They are young, strong, energetic, and ready to take on the world. While it's true that most students make it through alive, the consequences of their lifestyle will take a toll. As boring and adult as it sounds, staying healthy in college sure has its benefits! Check it out.
It's not like you didn't know that exercising is important for health. But what can you do as a busy college student to get in a proper amount of exercise? If you know your schedule, find a time to set aside for exercise. If exercise is scheduled in as solidly as your classes are, it will be much easier to work out each day. If you really are way too busy, many colleges offer sports classes. Enroll in one each semester. It's a great way to get regular exercise AND learn new, fun sporting skills. Another neat mind-hack is to sign up for a 5K or a triathlon. These races cost money, and after signing up, you suddenly have motivation to train for a goal.
If you don't keep a record of what you are doing to be successful when you are learning, then you won't be as progressive. Make sure that you are keeping track of all of the little things that help you internalize concepts and help you move forward with learning.
There are several major learning styles and you may fall into two or more, so finding the right combination is really about trial and error, but it is very important to actively try each one and notice how much you are able to retain by the end. This means you should try learning by listening to someone else read out loud for audio learning. Try learning something by taking hands on approach for the kinesthetic learning style. Lastly try writing out diagrams in order to visualize things. All of these can help you get ahead but it is important that you pay attention to the ones that work for you the most. Sometimes you can make them work in combinations and that can really enhance your learning experience all-together.
He only had twelve hours left before class. Sleeping was not going to be an option tonight. The next morning, a haggard, nervous Johnny handed in his paper. He hoped the other three papers due within the next two weeks would be easier. They were not. Each paper he met with the same horror. So much work and research were required and he no longer had the time. Each paper he handed in with dread. If only he had done the readings, read the syllabus earlier on, and started writing earlier!
In the end these simple little tips will help you find, try, and ultimately implement your learning style in the real world. Make sure that you are ready to give up some of the institutionalized habits you have picked up along the way.
