Feel free to ask us for help, as you need it, or for moral support!

First of all, congrats to you for going to back to school! The best thing that helped me in college was forming a study group for each class. We’d compare notes, quiz each other, help with reports and provide support for each other. Ask your professor if you can post a sign in class on the door with your email about a study group. This way only serious students will inquire because the slackers aren’t going to go out of their way to study, which benefits you! Be sure to ALWAYS take notes, and try to read them each morning. The brain absorbs more information in the morning than any other time of day, so take your notes or laptop to a quiet area on campus and just read them. I had a problem studying at my house because there was always something that needed to be done, chores and what-not, that distracted me from studying. If you get a job, don’t get one that’s stressful or requires you to think. Fast food or waiting tables are a popular choice among the college crowd because they’re easy jobs. I worked at Subway while in college and actually kept my laptop in the back so when it was slow, I would study! Political Science is a cake course if you pay attention, but beware of falling behind. Macroeconomics is a tough one, but if you need to take it, you gotta grin and bear it. Good luck!

First of all, congratulations on working on your college degree 18 years later! Hats off to you! As for some good study tips, you have to narrow down what style of studying works best for you and encourages retention of information. While some are better at studying alone in a quite room, others tend to learn more while in study groups that allow them to bounce off information from their peers. I would encourage you to visit your learning/writing center or career center as these are usually departments that have information on different studying techniques. You should also talk with your professors since they are the ones giving the test and can give you a heads up on what it takes to be successful in their course. Hope that helps and thank you for being an inspiration of education!

If you are a natural person you should try cognitive behavioral therapy. It was the only thing that has helped me with my horrible health anxiety. Read here https://tr.im/dkKlC

Your thinking determines your quality of life. Your thinking is what causes you these feelings:

Anxious, fearful, stressed or depressed

Constantly worried, or angry about something that is happening in your life

Struggling to overcome obsessive and negative thoughts.

If you change your thinking, you will change your life. This is the basic idea behind CBT for anxiety. The Cognitive part is where you learn nee methods and ways to change your same old habits and thinking patterns. If you keep thinking and expecting the worst – You will continue to suffer.

I am so happy, it was only a 35 minute drive ( 70 minutes total) but absolutely no sign of anxiety or panic i shopped till I dropped – brilliant! I will now go for the next stage DUAL CARRIAGE way, probably at the weekend, with my husband accompanying me first then the solo drive, if successful the final stage of driving on motorway
