One of the most important parts of achieving academic success is your school life balance, or in other words balancing your dimensions of wellness which we looked at the beginning of this quarter. This will help prevent burnout and make you more productive.
​Create a schedule: One of the best ways to balance school and other parts of your life is by making a schedule.​ For your schedule make a list of all your commitments, including classes, extracurricular activities, and homework. Then, create a schedule that allocates time for each of these activities. Stick to your schedule as much as possible.

Prioritize your tasks: Next, prioritize tasks whether they are school related or they are personal to figure out how important they are and whether they should be complete right now or not.

Take breaks: A good strategy in order to not get consumed by school work is to take breaks and do things for yourself, this will help with burnout as well as help to create a built in self care time which is important for balancing your emotional well being.

Get enough sleep, Stay active: The last two strategies compliment each other. If you are more efficient with the completion of work at school it allows you to have more time for yourself and to create a balance with school. These are getting enough sleep and staying active. If you are keeping up with your physical health it makes it much easier for you to stay focused as well as it makes you not spend much time on school if you are getting sleep and exercise.

It's important to reflect of yourself to see growth.
Look at past values and current values and be honest about which matter more.
Think about your priority's ( hobbies/ things you enjoy, people) its important to not forget about positve things in the past as well just becuase youre trying to change yourself.
Ask yourself if youre better now then 3 months ago 6 months maybe even years. change can take along time but always be incouraged.

1) Take notes during class:
Studies show that when students take notes the information gets engrained into their brains faster as they word the terms/information themselves.

2) Review the notes after class:
After a class students should review the content of the class to better engrain the information to their heads.

3) Practice questions that are challenging:
The harder the practice the easier the final test will be.

There are many ways of approaching introspection, but one way that can be helpful for those just starting their journey is the 20 answers method.
For this method, you simply open a Word document or write on a piece of paper 20 answers to the question "who am I?"

Even if you have already worked to develop and understand your identity, does not mean that your journey is over. In fact, identity is always changing, responding to new environments, life experiences, and people who influence the way you are.

Confidence- You need to believe in yourself to be able to believe in any of your strengths. If you don't believe in any of yourself you already lost the battle.
Priority- some strengths are easier to grow or more helpful to grow, determine how you can use your strengths
Obstacles- you need to test your strenghts against obstacles to grow them. Be reasonable with the challenge as well. Start small go big.
Help- not everything can be done by yourself, sometimes you need guidence or just morale support.
Reflection- Taking time to see youre progress can be very rewarding to your confidence while also allowing you to see where you failed in some aspects.

1. knowing what your personal strengths are will help with finding a job that you could choose because if you find a job that you don't have a good personal strength with then it will be difficult but if you do a job that you have a personal strength in it will be easier.
2. personal strengths will help in group work for example if you are a good leader and that is a strength of yours you can lead and organize your group to help get the job done.
3. knowing your personal strengths will help with become a better person because if you know what you are good at you can spend more time working on the things you are not good at to become better/

S - Specific: Be specific by outlining the goals you have and need you’re required to meet.

M - Measurable: Making a plan for yourself is that you are able to plan and track the progress of your goals.

A - Attainable: Listing small goals that lead to larger goals is not only a successful way of attaining measurable results, but of building your self-confidence, self-belief and self-image.

R - Realistic: Being realistic means giving yourself several months to achieve your goals and not just a few weeks. Setting realistic time frames goes a long way to keeping you on track.

T - Time bound: Being timely is an important part of goal setting, especially when it comes to wellness. Time frames are important for goals to be measured in a meaningful way.

While salary should be considered when choosing a job/career, it shouldn't be the only thing you focus on. Going into a career that you enjoy and that pays well should be what you should be looking for because having a very high paying job that you absolutely hate might make it hard to live happily.

Writing a resume with no formal work experience means emphasizing other aspects of your life that'll showcase your skills and passions like your education, and involvement in activities like extracurriculars or volunteering. Having dedicated sections for a summary and a list of skills can round out your resume.

One thing when finding an career is finding an interest or something you love and making an career off of that by taking classes and working in you specific field as soon as you can to get the expense you need to further in that field.Also when it comes to money would you rather do something you love that pays less or do something you hate and get paid more.Most people would say something you love and get paid less.

1) Summarizing: A skill that you can use for when you are reading texts or information in general for a class, you can summarize each major paragraph that you read into 2 sentences, that way when you go back to read your summarizations you can get a general idea of each paragraph and it will also help you remember it better.

2) Preventing Procrastination: Majority of students find themselves procrastinating work, when this happens you can use certain skill to prevent it, such as setting timers or reminders on your phone to get you to do your work, or when you realize that you are procrastinating, think about how you could be spending your time better and being more productive.

3) Writing: When writing people can often get lost in thought and get sidetracked, when this happens you could use this skill: when writing you should write out your main idea, and then go into details and evidence about it but make sure that it connects back to your main point.

4) Researching: To help you while you are researching for a class, you should organize your data into a neat table, that way when you need to use that information, you can find it easily.
