How to do Well in College By: wikiHow http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360131512002254 http://www.wikihow.com/Do-Well-in-College Go to class.

Why else would you pay for tuition or pay taxes for financial aid? Don't make excuses, just go. Even when you don't feel like it. Just go. You might get participation points, and the professor will also get to know you better.

It will keep you in the flow of the class, and prepare you for anything that might come along. Many classes have in class assignments, pop quizzes, and case studies that only could be taken in class, if you are not there, you might lose points. Besides that, paying attention in class does wonders to your memory. It is never the same as revising it on your own. Some things are best seen, heard and noted down.

Stay organized.

College is all about multitasking. Planners can really help you to balance homework, due dates and tests. You should try to get your work done early, then you will have less stress. Some colleges have an online learning tool to help you keep track of assignments and the like. If you don't like the internet, try to use the good old assignment notebook. You can buy one at a WalMart or local dollar store for cheap. A binder is the best way to keep your stuff organized.

Avoid bringing your laptop to class.

Or, if you have to, make sure you only use it for the task at hand. A study has shown that students who did multiple things on a laptop during a lecture scored lower on a test compared to those who did not multitask. Likewise, students who were in direct view of someone multitasking on their laptop also scored lower on a test compared to those who were not.

Be business-like about your education.

If you had a job you would have to go to your job at 9 AM and stay there until 5PM. The rest of the day would be your own time. If you did the same thing in college, you would do great. Go to class, go to the library, study seriously, at 5pm put away the books and go home. It's that simple.

Once in a while you might have to work late, just like at a real job, but in general if you were spending 40 hours a week attending to school you would be a Dean's List student. Act like a professional, adult person. Treat your college education as it's like on the job training.

Find your own best method of studying.

Everyone studies differently. Some can study with a lot of noise and others want silence. Some like the library and some like to study with friends, or even outside. Studies show that studying with others is best but only if you actually work. They also show that people cannot multitask and performance suffers when you try two things at once.[citation needed] If you find your own ideal study method, your understanding and recall will improve, likely leading to better grades.

Balance work, school and social life.

Many students start to mess up in college because they want to hang out with their friends every minute. There will always be time for partying in college. Pull yourself away from partying so that you can take care of business.

Use your time effectively and efficiently.

Do not procrastinate on assignments. Try to make progress every day on what is assigned. For example, if you have a report due in 6 weeks, do not wait until 3 days before it's due to begin working on it. Instead, work on it every day for 30 to 60 minutes. Once you get into it, it will actually be enjoyable seeing the progress unfold versus being stressed out and worried about an important assignment that has been put off and whose due date continuously gets closer and closer Be sure to take care of your health.

Ancient Roman poet Juvenal said "una mente sana in un corpo sano" which means "a healthy mind in a healthy

body". Join a sports team or exercise, don't overdo the junk food, and try to get as much sleep as possible. Not only will you feel better, you'll be able to think and learn better too.

Maintain 100% effort through semester.

Some students start better than they finish. They do that in order to give themselves room to slack near the end of the semester, which can be a costly mistake. Push yourself to do your best on every assignment given out and make sure to check your syllabus to see which assignments are due when. Stay on top of your game and don't lose focus.

Always try to keep a positive attitude and have confidence.

Owls Fly Higher than Cardinals Men's Tennis | 2/14/2016 10:46:00 PM |

HOUSTON, TEXAS – The University of the Incarnate Word men's tennis team dropped a match on the road against Rice University on Valentine's Day, 4-0.

The #50 Rice Owls (8-1) used their home court advantage against the Cardinals (2-4) to keep the visitors off the board.

In doubles, the duos of Joey Vatanadilok (San Antonio/Bridgeway Academy) and Sebastian Mortier (Hanau, Germany/ Karl-Rehbeln-Schule) as well as Tucker Brown (New Braunfels/New Braunfels HS) and Ryan Hoverson (Grand Forks, ND/ Red River HS) were dispatched by identical 6-3 scores.

In singles play, only three matches were completed. At #1 singles, Vatanadilok was dealt a loss to Jamie Malik, 6-1 and 6-1.

Mortier and Hoverson also each lost in straight sets to give the Owls the win.

The Cardinals will return to the nest for three consecutive matches. Incarnate Word will first face Tyler Junior College on Friday at 2 p.m. Saturday's match will be against UT Rio Grande Valley with doubles starting at 9 a.m. UIW will finish off the weekend against Prairie View A&M on Sunday at 2 p.m.

These Two Penguins Just Celebrated Their 22nd Valentine’s Day Together Rachael Krishna BuzzFeed Staff Two African blackfooted penguins spent the weekend celebrating their 22nd Valentine’s day together.

Kohl and Zelda shared a romantic meal of fish to celebrate their copper anniversary. The couple live together at Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans.

In a statement, senior Aviculturist Tom Dyer explained that whilst most penguins mate for life, not all love stories are as happy as Kohl and Zelda’s.

“We’ve seen our share of penguin heartbreak, infidelity and sometimes joyful reunion here in our colony. ” He said. “ Kohl and Zelda, however, are spending their 22nd Valentine’s Day together. They are Audubon’s sweethearts.”

Happy Anniversary Guys! http://www.buzzfeed.com/krishrach/these-two-penguins-just-celebrated-their-22nd-valentines-day#.pnAJY1nGN

"In 2014, UIW student Alec Ramirez registered to be a member of Be The Match Registry.

In 2015, Alec got the call that he was a marrow match for a boy with Leukemia.

Alec kept his commitment and donated his lifesaving cells to this little boy, who is alive today thanks to his generous gift of life."

Annual Event started in 2013 in honor of San Antonio Police Officer Anthony "Tony" Barasa. Tony was in need of a marrow match and sadly passed away in 2014 after complications related to acute myeloid leukemia after no adult marrow match was found.

The UIW Pre-Pharmacy Association is carrying on his memory and mission of bringing awareness to the important need for committed marrow donors and cord blood donation.

Be involved. Transplant hope.
