Remember the days of radio discipline and communications? You may not be carrying around a radio as a student, but are you operating on radio silence as a student? Are you just receiving? Does the person transmitting know you “copy that”?

College Planning As An Adult
Living the Adult Dream
The daily adult drive
Yesterday perhaps you were driving to work before the break of dawn or sitting in rush hour traffic just trying to get to work. You might have made the rent or mortgage payment with a little cringe at the amount. Perhaps even looking at your bank account trying find enough money for an emergency auto repair or pay for a child’s last minute school activity. You might have a health concern, made a call to get an appointment for a specialist only to realize you needed a referral from primary care. You knew when you started the day, life would put you on the road with a few roadblocks and U turns. You have an adult life with adult daily challenges and going back to school is going to take an adult centered plan.

Khan Academy A Student’s Best Late Night Study Buddy
As a student I would find myself occasionally sitting in a class attentive to the professor’s lecture and everything was clicking. I’d be following along understanding each of the steps and even taking notes! I would leave the class feeling pretty good that I understood the information. Then a week later I would sit down to do the homework assignment or study for the exam. My brain would scramble trying to recall the information and I’d get a big fat nothing. Was I even in the classroom when this was covered? I would stare at my notes confused by all the seemingly random numbers and letters I had apparently written down for a reason. The textbook didn’t really help, I’m an auditory and visual learner. It would usually be 10:00 pm or later and I knew the professor would not want a phone call from me at that hour and the assignment was usually due the next morning. Great I was going to flunk!
