Wishful Wednesday

Hey Guys,
Kay here! So every Wednesday I will posting a quote. This segment will be called Wishful Wednesday. All the quotes posted are quotes I have collected over the past three years. Each quote has helped me during one time or another. Hopefully they are of insight to you all

Studying/Test Taking Tips

Hey guys! It's Cee here!

I hope everyone is enjoying their week. Well we all know part of college is exams. We have to take exams to get into college, we have to take exams while in college, and we have to take exams to get certified or to get into graduate school. As much as we hate them, exams are part of college!

Don't cram! Yes you read that right. Do not cram! Trust me, you will not retain any information. Instead of cramming, study beforehand. Lets say a week in advance. This way, you have enough time to retain the information.                                            

Take Breaks! Yes please take breaks! You need time for your brain to relax. It goes along with cramming. If you try to remember all the information at once, odds are you are not going to remember anything! & We do not want that do we? So take breaks. Study for an hour, take a half hour break.

Eat a good breakfast! Okay I know you heard this one before! But it is true. Eat a good breakfast in the morning before your test and you will have enough energy to knock that bad boy out the park!

Get a good nigh sleep! Yes, you heard this one before too, but studies prove that when you get a good night sleep, you will perform better. Why? Well your rested of course! No one wants    to take and exam tired.

Hope this helps all your lovely collegiates!

"Me Time"

Hey guys, 
Kay here! With summer coming to an end and assignment piling up, it is important to remember to just stop, breath, and have some “Me Time”! I know many of us might have a crazy class schedule to begin with and on top we decided to add sports, clubs, committees, organizations and/or work! All of these combine may sometimes, add up to more hours than there are in a day. 
Of course academics should come first but so should YOU ! This is something I personally learned the hard way. I am involved in countless clubs/organisations and I also work on campus. So when I am not in class, I’m either working, holding a meeting for a club, planning out signature events, holding a program or doing various activities around campus. I know it sounds like a lot and I should probably not get as involved, I just can’t help myself. If you’re like me and like to get involved, you might find yourself over stressed or overwhelmed most of the time (especially when you add homework, papers, projects, presentations and group projects to the list).


Trust me you are not alone! I had a semi melt down before I realize that everyone else was occupying my time, that I had forgotten to make time for myself. As one of my many life mentors told me, “Stop, breath, and have some me time. It is okay to be selfish ones in a while. Sometimes we are so occupied in our busy schedule, that we neglect ourselves. Then our mind and body shut down. How will things get done if we shut down?”
 Since then, I have tried to schedule some “Me Time” once a week. “Me Time” is a time dedicated to do something you want to do! It can be any activity that you find relaxing .Those activities can be  going to get your nails done, going on a hike, going to the gym, having a girl’s night out, or just simply reading a good book while drinking tea. Whatever you’re into, make sure you make time for it. You are definitely worth it! Trust me no matter how busy your schedule might look, there is always room for “Me Time”. Even if it is just ten or fifteen minutes, those are your minutes to do something just for you.So I challenge all of you to schedule “Me Time” once a week in your life schedule. I am sure your mind and body will thank you!
