Study skills
Sometimes it feels like I’m in a tug of war. But I’m not a competitor tugging on one end of the rope; I am the rope! My children, boyfriend, family, and friends are on one end, and school is on the other, pulling me in two opposite directions. Finding the right balance has been a challenge, but I am slowly getting there. As they say, "slow and steady wins the race", but I've also heard that "if you’re not first, you’re last". It’s been a long time since I've been in school and getting back into the habit of studying and maintaining that necessary discipline is challenging and slightly stressful. However, I have found ways to help myself understand, retain and memorize the knowledge I need to be successful. If I've learned anything in my adult life, it's that cramming before a test or waiting until the last minute is absolutely the wrong approach. I like to try to utilize every resource at my disposal and narrow it down to what works best for me.
