Tre's Best Piece of Advice

Before coming to college I received advice and tips from family and friends to steer me onto the right path during my journey.  These tips have been like tools that I use during the difficult times here at college.  The best advice that I have personally received is to study consistently and not only in large increments at the last minute.  Studying at the last minute not only causes stress on the brain, but also is somewhat futile.  When studying at the last minute, the student is therefore putting the knowledge garnered in short term memory only for it to be used for a short period of time.  However, the knowledge earned in college should be knowledge that the student should cherish and take along with them forever.  Not only may it be used in their future career, but it is part of a foundation that they are building for themselves.  Studying consistently mentally helps one to embed the knowledge into their memory.  This is also healthy for the student’s mental health because it causes less stress than cramming.
