Hello! Andrew here!

I’m excited to share some of my tips that, even as a college student, I use every day to help me with my academic endeavors!

1. Stay organized!
• Use a planner, or something similar, to stay on top of due dates, upcoming tests, and other extracurricular events you have going on!
• This will allow you to get ahead, time-manage, and prioritize assignments/tests.
• I use the “notes” section on my phone to keep track of all my important dates!
2. Seek help when you need it!
• This is SO important — you’re not going to always know the answer to everything!
• Seeking help allows you to walk through the concepts, so that in the future, you’ll be able to solve the same problems (see ‘Resources’ tab for a comprehensive list of study aids)
• Maybe you’ll get so good at it, you can help others..? Maybe..?
3. Homework time = no distractions!
• Set-up a homework-friendly area! 
• That means an area with MINIMAL distractions
• Keep electronics to a minimum, if they serve a NON-academic purpose (Snapchat and Instagram are NON-academic!!!)
4. Do what works for you and your learning!
• I had a buddy in college that would study in the exact same desk, in the exact same floor of the library, with the exact same music playlist, every weekend.
• This is an extreme example, but consistency goes a long way!
• Knowing yourself, your limits, and what works and doesn’t work for you, will maximize your effectiveness in the end
• An easy way to hone in on this is to make a plan or schedule, and stick to it!
