Our college offers a wonderful class called becoming a master student, It has a fantastic book that goes with it by the same name. If your college doesn’t offer a class with it, i suggest at least picking up the book. Its been a great help to me, ( i read the book first in fall of 06 after my husband took the class, and now im taking the class myself). Also there are many websites, study charts, etc.. That help deal with study skills and time management. Your counselor probably has some information you could find useful as well. Check to see what resources your school has available to you.

I’m going through the same thing myself. I never had to study in high school, good grades came naturally so college was a shocker. You just have to figure out what you want in your life…do you want to be making minimum wage the rest of your life, or do want to live a decent life? Granted it IS possible to make a good living without a college degree, but it’s not common.

Start right now, with the semester your in. If you start getting into the habit now of looking over your notes, then soon it will become habit and your grades will be better. Don’t study for an hour at a time, every person I spoke to said to study for 30 minutes, and take a 10 minute break. If you break up your studying into 30 minute sections, it won’t seem so horrible 😉 Do your assignments when they are given, if the due date is in a few weeks for a major paper, then do a little bit each week. This way the week it’s due you won’t feel overwhelmed.

Good luck 🙂

I believe first you should begin to weine yourself from the chocolate to rid the suger high. Second, I think you should learn to just sit down and breathe before starting your homework, studying, or whatever so that your mind is at a point of relaxation where it can focus on the least fun thing happening ( your studying ); Also, you should not just study, find something like a small game on the computer that isn’t more then like 5min to beat so that you don’t get extreamly bored by just studying and then not wanting to do it.

You just have to force yourself. Try to plan out a schedule.

Say for example your going to start studying at 9:00 and study non stop for an hour. Then you can have a small break and have your chocolate as a treat for studying an hour :).

Visit your nearest fast food store. Observe the staff.

These people are doing honorable work, but they are people without any greater marketable job skills.

Imagine that is you, without a degree, for the next 40 years.

Now go study and put the chocolate away.

the respond is, particularly, that it relies upon. the needs for get entry to are going to variety by using way of state and can variety based on the regulations set by using way of the Board of the guy or lady group corporation. community faculties have been designed to serve the gang and lots are “open enrollment” faculties. How do they handle pupils who’ve neither an precise HS degree nor a GED? enable’s look at homeschoolers–many homeschooled pupils somewhat fit into this variety. maximum group faculties no longer require homeschoolers to total a GED–inspite of the undeniable fact that the coed did no longer pursue their practise by utilising an permitted homeschool application. they’ll commonly require the coed to total an potential to progression test (an front/placement examination) having pronounced that. touch the admissions place of work of the guy or lady group corporation you go with to attend and ask that place of work to grant you with distinctive important factors concerning their admissions needs. terrific of success!

first of all, you should look at your diet. are you ingesting too much caffeine? that would make you hyper. remember that chocolate has caffeine in it!!!

it sounds simple, but perhaps you could go to the library. or try out different ways of studying. i can’t study or read ANYTHING unless i’m also watching tv or a movie–otherwise i can’t concentrate.

Once you get straight D’s in your classes, you will have to decide if college is for you

quit eating sugar.
