Positivity is everything

What’s the point of being a big grump? Considering school is not really a choice, it’s always great to see how what you’re doing now can and will determine your future and is one step closer to succeeding. Even if things aren’t the best, staying optimistic through the bad will help you out mentally. You CAN do this!

Create to-do lists.

Feel accomplished and on top of everything when creating lists of daily/weekly goals and tasks you need to achieve. Remember, jotting down anything increases the chances of you remembering and there’s something about marking off each task that gives you much satisfaction.

Be patient

Keep in mind, we’re all learning as we go. It’s important to be as patient as possible with others and with yourself, including teachers, when figuring out the best strategies for lecture. What works for some may not work for all, which is where a helping hand can be of great use. Considering most classes are digital, try your best and don’t be too harsh on yourself.
