tips for making a positive start to a new term
But, how do you make a positive start? Here are some tips for you to consider!
Get organised - make sure you know your timetable, what you need to bring, and who your tutor is. It's also helpful to make sure you know what you need to do if you're going to be absent. You don't need to get new things, but giving your bag a clean up and organising any equipment can help you feel ready and proactive.
Plan a routine - give some thought to when you need to be at college and make a routine for your week. Getting up at the same time each day can really help you be consistent when it matters. Also plan in some time for consolidating your learning outside of the class, whether that's doing homework, reading over your notes, or practising some of the skills or language you learned.
Think about your future goals - in the day to day moments of having to wake up with that alarm and get out of the house to class, it can feel hard to prioritise your studies. Especially in those dark winter months! If you can think about what your aims are for the future and even write them down and put them somewhere you can see them daily, it can help you make good decisions now that will impact your future.
Be prepared for a slow start - it can be tricky to get our brains going again after a summer break. Be kind to yourself and don't panic if you struggle at first. Be determined not to give up.
Build a good rapport with your tutor/s - they are there to help you succeed so work with them and you'll learn faster.
Attendance is key - be determined to turn up to every lesson. It can have a big impact on your progress even just missing 10% of your timetabled classes. Remember those future goals and make learning your priority.
