Taking good notes in class is a study tip any college student will tell you is so important. If you only half pay attention in class and slack off on taking notes you will have nothing to study for the exam! Take your time in class to take good notes that you understand well so that you can go back and review them when studying. Reviewing old material is much easier than trying to learn new stuff! Some people study best when their notes are visual or colorful. Some study best by hearing the material out loud. Figure out what studying methods work for you and use those every time! I personally found that I retained information best when I saw it on paper using colored pens and highlighters but everyone is different. You can take quick tests online like this one to see what your best studying method is!
A 2014 study published in Psychological Science found that students who took notes on laptops didn’t do as well on tests of conceptual understanding compared to students who took notes by hand. The study’s authors speculate this disparity in performance occurred because taking notes on a laptop makes it easier to transcribe what a professor says verbatim. When you write by hand, in contrast, the slower speed forces you to summarize and put concepts in your own words, which leads to better understanding. To be clear, I do think your computer is an excellent place for storing and organizing your notes. But you’re better off using your phone to scan your notes later (or typing them up by hand) than taking digital notes from the start. One of the key differences between college and high school is that there’s less focus on memorization and more on conceptual understanding. For instance, a high school history class might require you to memorize lots of dates and names of people and then reproduce them on a test.
Dermatophytes are part of the normal flora living on your skin, but when they encounter a warm, humid place -- such as the damp spots between your toes -- they can begin to overgrow. Problems with dry skin and athlete's foot? Look for antifungal lotions instead of powders. If you're a runner or if you spend a lot of time walking or hiking, you have additional foot considerations, such as blister prevention. Blisters can become a problem if there's friction in your shoes (make sure both your socks and shoes fit properly), and the problem can worsen with sweat and heat. While a powder can help reduce the sweat factor, you'll need a product to prevent blisters. Popular blister-preventing lubricants include petroleum jelly and stick-formatted products such as Body Glide. Apply them to your feet before running (or whatever your activity may be) to help prevent blisters from forming, and note the same lubricant can be used to temporarily ease the pain of a blister before you're able to treat it.
They also offer services like e-mail updates when new opportunities are posted or when deadlines are approaching. Then it's time to start filling out applications and crossing fingers. At the end of the day, if students still lack necessary funds after collecting aid, loans remain a possibility. The federal government offers loans, such as the Stafford and Perkins Loans (for students) and the PLUS Loan (for parents). Federal loans are widely recommended as the first and best choice, followed by private loans offered from banks. Some students and their parents can also explore other avenues like applying for tax credits such as the Hope Scholarship Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. Depending on whether they're eligible and what their circumstances are, some money may be subtracted from the amount they owe in taxes. On the following page, we'll cover the next major step you'll want to take while applying for scholarships, grants and a whole lot more. The first step is filling out an online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.
Rotate tasks, and be flexible about trading jobs if there's something you don't mind but your roommate particularly hates doing. Hopefully, your roommate is someone who knows how to compromise and cares about other people's needs. If so, you may be able to get a little bit closer to the tiny dorm room of your dreams. If not, chalk it up to character-building, get the heck out in May, and room with someone more like yourself next year. Or, do what I did and beg for a single. Crying can help. Just don't overdo it. Both I and my roommate made every mistake in the book trying to address the conflict. Conflict resolution really is an art, and I think I provided here some fairly comprehensive and effective methods of "cleaning up" the issue. I can certainly vouch for the "Don't" list. Oh, how she annoyed me. And I became even dirtier to annoy her back. I did e-mail an apology for my filthiness in the midst of my research. Rees, Lauren. "Dorm Life: Living in 114 square feet."
