HABITS OR SKILLS THAT YOU PICKED UP AT COLLEGE THAT SURPRISE YOU

-

 

    I believe that many of us like to study last minute, especially when there is an upcoming exam, because I am one of them too. I did study last minute, and I only gained a little information before waiting for the exam to start. When I got into this college, one habit that I developed here is studying earlier without waiting for lecturers' instructions, because they occasionally give unexpected tests at any time.

    Without realizing it, when I started studying earlier, my mind became more prepare than usual and I didn't really feel rushed to memorize the notes that had been given. Sometimes, even if I do not have time to study on weekdays, I always make sure to study during the weekends because I don't want to waste my time on unproductive activities.

    Besides that, I also have developed my study skills in reading notes. Lecturers sometimes provide slides with lengthy information, so I developed a skill where I focus only on the important highlighted points and try to memorize them repeatedly. This helps me avoid forgetting the notes I have read and enables me to answer questions properly during exams. I found myself can remember it more than wasting my time keep repeatedly reading lengthy information that sometimes contain unimportant points there.

    These study habits really has changed the way I'm thinking and memorize the information. It also has taught me to be consistent in studying even though I have already my own skills to study because if you don't consistently study and keep practicing it everyday, then, you might barely can remember what you have learned.

    Overall, those were study skills that I have picked up that surprise me and it really did allow me to study properly and consistently. The most important part is I need to fight the laziness in me so that I can apply these study skills without any obstacles.

TIMES WHEN YOU STEPPED OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

  After officially signing off as an SPM 2024/2025 student, there are many things that wanted to do as I've already written in my wishlist. I mean, it wasn't like I really jot it down on a paper, it is just a promise that I had in my mind once the exams were over. So, you all might be wondering, "what is the promise?".  Just like I said there are many things, however one of them that I took seriously was sleep. Yes, it's sleep. Let's be for real here, we all love to sleep. Even without waiting for the exams to end, we've already fell in love with it, right?   Without further ado, let's see if stepping out of my comfort zone has changed me. So, after exams day, me and my bed were like a magnet that will never apart. You all might think I only slept for 1 until 2 hours in the morning. But, it's totally incorrect. Shy to say, I slept for more than 2 hours. Almost everyday. That's only if I don't have any chores to do. I am normal and I still d...

CLASS OR LECTURER THAT HAS IMPACTED YOU SIGNIFICANTLY (PART 2)

  I love writing because it gives me the space to write and express anything that I want, especially when I'm writing about my life such as writing it in the journal. But it's totally opposite with formal writing or any writing material that have their distinct instruction and rule for each of the paragraph and sentence. It's more like you can't freely write anything you want or in another words you can't fully follow your own writing style.   Sometimes this kind of writing makes my brain stuck to think on how to build a strong sentence structure and even made me spending my time for hours just to avoid any mistakes in writing. For instance, writing a letter or an essay from the given assignment. Furthermore, I also lack in writing the ideas without the elaboration running from the main topic.   After I've got into a class with my lovely lecturer, Miss Asiah, she has begun to guide and help me in HPC1043 - Writing Development 1 subject. I really like the way she...

HABITS OR SKILLS THAT YOU PICKED UP AT COLLEGE THAT SURPRISE YOU (PART 2)

    First and foremost, high school life and college life is very different in many ways. One of them is assignment or in high school term we called it homework. The different here is that the due date. During high school, the due date for homework was usually the next day or probably the day after, and that only applied if we had the subject on that day. If we didn't have the subject during that day, we didn't feel rushed to complete the homework.       However, it was really different when I began entering into the college which was I have to submit my assignments on the same day according to the given deadline. Sometimes, lecturers set a specific time, such as from 1 until 3 hours after they assigned us to complete the assignments. If I fail to do so, they won't record our attendance, even if we are physically present in class or attending online.     The habits that I have developed in here was that, I always prepared myself with every upcomin...
