Mind OVER Matter


Transitioning from a high school student to a college student has been very changing. In high school it was easy to get an A. I would sometimes do my homework before class, stay up late, and rarely study for test and quizzes. As a senior my habits I can say got worst I would not pay attention as much as I did as a freshman, I was also that student who was a texter In class. It also didn’t help with having two study halls and cooking classes were I would sit and talk to my friends and literally do nothing. Senior year was easy. Coming into college within the first two weeks I can say I did more reading then I did my whole senior year. Usually with high school they baby you and get you got of summer mode. Not in college, I already had homework for the next class. With Inquiry it has helped me learn to:
  • ·      Hunt for a good teacher
  • ·      Not to alienate your professor
  • ·      How to become a deep thinker in college
  • ·      Make sure I notice my “invisible work”
  • ·      Work hard and work smart
  • ·      Not to multitask
  • ·      How to take correct notes
  • ·      Making a successful schedule for planning out your day
  • ·      Time management
  • ·      Managing your goals

I can say I have taken each of this tips and had applied them to becoming that A student. But some tips that was not helpful to me that I would kind of seemed pointless would be to make a to do list everyday I always have any idea of what I need to do for each day homework and studying. I feel like there’s nothing more important that I need I have everything such as my books and if I don’t have something it is usually on my mind till I do what I need to do. From being in college I am proud of the student I have became school is my top property and every single homework assignment and all my studying has been my top priority.
