 Keys to College Success 
Learn to say NO!
Saying no to partying, movies, etc... does not make you a terrible person.
Do not study for more than 2 hours at a time
Your brain really does shut down and any studying you do after that point is just a waste of time. Take a break!
Use travel time to study
Pop a study or lecture tape into your car's cassette player: put on those earphones if you ride the shuttle or carpool or when walking to class. If you use the Laundromat, listen to study tapes while your clothes spin and dry.
Try to study during daylight hours
Natural light really is more conducive to learning.
Use 2 schedules
- Create an hour by hour weekly schedule. Using your class schedules as a guide, block out specific times each day for study and all other activities - Rule of Thumb: one and a half hours of study for each hour of class.
- Create a semester schedule showing midterms, finals, vacations, concerts you have tickets for, due dates and other important events. Review weekly both schedules and allow more study time as needed. A good schedule keeps you from wandering off course.
Be sure to schedule in fun stuff too - movies, the beach, dates, etc...
Prioritize
List daily what you need to study, prioritize and set times for each.
Use the 30-3-2 Schedule
Study for 30 mintues. Take a 3 minute break; let the break be a time to think about other things. Upon returning to study, take an extra 2 minutes to mentally review what you have just read and do a quick preview of what is coming up next.
Study - Break - Review - Preview - Study
Kid Humor
In a preschool class I used to teach, we had two little girls who played everyday that they were characters from classic Disney cartoons. One day I hear one calling the other "Allison". I didn't know a single Disney character named Allison, so I asked the little girl who she was today. She replied, without missing a beat, "Allison Wonderland".
