FINDING HELP

simsl19 — 2024-09-04 08:36:48 UTC

Hundreds of people, programs, and organizations on campus are made specifically to help you. The first step to getting this help is taking the initiative to find it. Almost any help you need from faculty and other staff can be found online through various UCI web pages

Some examples of the resources regarding help in all areas that I learned through this class are:

BUILDING HABITS TO SUCCEED

simsl19 — 2024-09-04 08:43:27 UTC

It would be best to build habits that maximize your time to succeed in the classroom and daily life. To develop habits, you must repeat the actions until they become a part of your routine. The primary way to establish a routine is by making a plan for each day, goal, and accomplishment you plan to achieve. Completing the anteater action plan has put me on the path to maximizing my time and succeeding in my courses in my first year.

SETTING GOALS

simsl19 — 2024-09-04 08:49:57 UTC

Setting goals can often be intimidating as the fear of failing at accomplishing such goals tends to make humans more reluctant to set them. By making S.M.A.R.T. goals, I will be able to achieve my goals more successfully and will have the motivation to do so, as my favorite aspect of smart goals is that they are measurable. Seeing the progress I've made is very inspiring to me.

TIME MANAGEMENT

IMPROVING MY TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS

simsl19 — 2024-09-04 08:57:49 UTC

I didn't see it as something I needed to change in high school, as I always tended to get things done on time. But, in college, I know I must manage my time more wisely to balance college-level courses and society commitments. Implementing "EAT THAT FROG," a time management concept that involves tackling the most intimidating item of your day in the morning, will allow me to develop better time management skills as the route of my issue when it comes to managing time is postponing task because of my fear of not completing them perfectly.

STUDYING

simsl19 — 2024-09-04 08:59:29 UTC

NEW STUDY HABITS

simsl19 — 2024-09-04 09:02:18 UTC

I am not particularly good at studying because I never felt the need to do so in high school to succeed. I learned various study methods from the course and found two that I hope to maintain for the year. Retrieval practice will benefit me as a constant fear of mine is forgetting everything I have learned. By practicing active recall, I can reassure myself that I retain knowledge while strengthening my content retention. I will also use dual coding as I remember information presented visually more than in the written word.

MENTAL HEALTH

MAINTAINING GOOD MENTAL HEALTH IN COLLEGE

simsl19 — 2024-09-04 09:08:43 UTC

Mental health is something that matters a lot to me due to my family's history with it. I struggle a lot with putting myself first and constantly fill my brain with worries and stressors, which I find deteriorating my health and moods. Learning about all the mental health resources available for free on UCI's campus has been highly beneficial as I will now know where to go in times of need, and even when I am not struggling as much mentally, I want to ensure I am keeping a healthy mentality.
