This week in psychology we will start to study about memory. One very important topic for college students that is closely related to that of memory is study habits. The way you study is very important because it can determine how well you will do on your exams. Different people have different ways of retaining information but it is always important to learn and understand the material rather than just memorizing. I think just memorizing the material without any true understanding will only allow you to retain it in your short-term memory. Learning the material in a timely manner and allowing yourself to process the information little by little will allow you to remember that information for a longer period of time.

Personally, my study habits have drastically changed from my first semester as a freshman to now as a sophomore. I usually start my week by writing down all my due dates for assignments in my planner. On a separate sheet of paper I make a weekly schedule where I include all the assignments I have to complete for each class as well as when I need to be studying. Last semester I made the mistake of studying the night before every exam and my grades were not all that great;therefore, I challenged myself to change that. This semester has been such an improvement for myself because I study my lecture notes daily and allow myself time to process the material before the exams. For example, for psychology I study the lecture notes every night , read the textbook and place sticky notes on important parts of the chapter, and make  notecards for all of the vocabulary . Giving myself time allows me to take things slowly which in turn allows me to understand the material more in depth.

As a college student I have a very busy schedule, but I have made it my priority to find time for studying. Having a job, being a part of many different organizations on campus, and being a pre-med student is really challenging, but I think it keeps me on track in order to accomplish my goals.

Study habits are arguably something that everyone needs to work on.  When it comes to studying I have always had issues with procrastinating.  This backfired on me during the first exam because I waited before the night before to restudy the powerpoint presentations and really overlooked everything else.  So my plan for the future is I am going to add a couple more days to my study process not only to spread out the ideas that I need to make sure to have a grasp on, but also to add the book and mini lectures to my studying so I make sure I leave no stone unturned.

For this week in Psychology we are going to be discussing memory. One thing that is related to memory is studying. They are connected because the information you learn while studying is put into your short term memory first then transferred into long term memory. Some people retain information better if they read the same subject continuously; others have to repeatedly write or say the information. My current study habits are studying with music on and maybe with a few people in my room. I currently do not have the best studying habits. When I study  I feel the need to have background noise, although this can cause multiple distractions in the process. I believe the best way to fix my habits would be to maybe listen to my music a little quieter and find a room that I can be isolated in.
