Tip 1: I resonate with Tip 5: Understand Deadlines because for the most part I forget many important dates. In high school there were many ways for students to never forget about their assignments, especially with Google Classroom. In college I am noticing that there is no announcement system that alerts students about their up-coming assignments. I will take this tip and create a system by using a software that works for me. I can use Google Calendar to document and set a reminder for my assignments. In high school I would generally never miss due dates, but I fear that if I do not acclimate to the new level of education of college, the due dates will be the major cause.
Tip 2: I resonate with Tip 7: Find study skills that work for you because I have trouble concentrating on tasks. I get distracted easily and cannot return to the thought I had in order to accomplish my work. I can apply this tip to find a form of studying to class by using physical materials like a pencil and paper to jot my ideas, instead of digital tools. I can also find areas where I will not lose concentration easily, like the library or an empty classroom. At home I cannot really concentrate to my potential. Therefore, if I am in a setting that invokes education such as school then I can achieve the completion of my tasks.

I also get distracted easily, so may I suggest using a study room in the library? It’s very quiet and you can study there alone or with a group and nobody would distract you.
I agree with your reasoning in “Tip 1”, in high school it was very easy to keep track of the due dates because we had many resources and our teacher will also remind us constantly and here in college it is different because we are independent and everything is new to us.
