LibraryThe library will be your best friend when in college or university. They not only serve as a great place to study but they have tonnes of resources - including media equipment, movies, music and books, that you could borrow. Career CentreHave you decided your own career pathway? Don't worry! Thankfully, every college or university has a career centre. At the career centre, you would be able to discuss with an advisor about career options. Student Success CentreIf you're a struggling academically, the academic success centre will definitely be of help to you. I personally have not visited them yet, but I've heard from peers that they give really good advises on how to study and maintain good grades. It's good to pay the Student Success Centre a visit if you're fresh out of high school, as they would be able to advice your how to deal with college and tackling assignments. STUDENT Legal CENTREIf you're in need of legal help, head over to the student legal services. They can help with everything from roommate contracts and landlord disputes to traffic tickets and automobile accidents. Counselling ServicesAt the beginning, college can be a little stressful - and there is no doubt about that. When you mix in a part-time job and organizations with all your school work, it can be downright overwhelming. The Student Counseling Services can help you. They offer personal counseling as well as other counseling services like couple counseling and career counseling. The IT DepartmentIf you're a college or even a degree student, there's a high chance that you have a computer or carry around a laptop. If you're degree programme requires you to have certain softwares like Adobe, you definitely need to get it and there's no doubt about it - but getting it outside may be a little pricey. Do keep in mind these are campus resources at the university that I am attending. This may differ from university to university, or from campus to campus. As a student, I hope I've painted a clearer picture of these facilities. If you're still unsure about any of them, read in depth on my blog [or] DM me. I'll try to reply to all of them. Lastly, All the Best! 💌

Exams are right around the corner and I’d thought what a better time to share with you five things I do to stay organised during exams. Start Early!Starting early is the key. Leaving your revision time to the very last minute tends to increase stress, which may not be very healthy for you. Thus, for huge exams, like your finals, I would highly recommend you start revising at least a month ahead. You don’t have to study start await, but just planning it out, seeing what needs to be covered, and finding the issues involved is really important. Effective Study SessionsMake your study sessions effective. It is one thing to ‘study’ - involving your phone, taking extended break on youtube and skimming through textbook. And, another to actually study, which means being active in your learning, pushing your ability and sticking to it. Relax!Having breaks is the key to an effective study session. Break sessions avoids burn outs. Take some time off - you don’t have to study 24/7. It’s best if your studied an hour with 15-20 minutes intervals. Take some time each day to do something that you enjoy. It might be watching an episode of a show, seeing your friends, or even reading a book. Get Enough SleepSleep is key to ensuring good mental health. Examination periods are busy and stressful times, so make sure you’re getting enough sleep, especially the night before your exam. Be sure you take at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep everyday. Always stay positive!Always remember to stay positive regardless the situation. whilst exams may seem like the be all and end all, they aren’t. Even if your final marks aren’t what you want, there are always opportunities to improve and learn. 💌
