I went to a Nature Journaling class last week and I discovered the most interesting contraption: the Traveler’s Notebook. To clarify, Traveler’s Notebook is both a name brand as well as a thing. Basically, it’s a medium to small sized folder into which you can strap small notebooks for planning, writing, drawing, and so much more!

While a Traveler’s Notebook would not be ideal for note-taking in the classroom (they’re just not large enough), it would be ideal for planning, keeping track of upcoming tasks, and tracking any habits you are working to develop. And once the semester is over and you want to start a new notebook, you don’t have to purchase a whole new notebook – you simply switch out the notebook insert (these are about $1.50 each) and you get a clean slate!

Within the notebook itself, you can have as many inserts as you want with each of them serving a different purpose! You may have one for your daily to-do list, one for assignment planning, and maybe another for journaling and doodling (between classes, of course!).

So the Traveler’s Notebook: something new to try if you need a tool to help you plan, make daily lists, or track habits! You can find these on Amazon, Etsy, and the Traveler’s Notebook website.

Sabotage Part 3: Grades

Grades are a big part of college life. You need a minimum GPA to stay enrolled in a college or university, to be able to transfer schools, to enroll in specialty programs (nursing, physical therapy school, graduate school, etc.), and you definitely need a minimum GPA to keep your parents happy if they’re helping foot the bill for college. So if there’s something you might consider not sabotaging, grades are a good place to start. Earning grades is a tough, long process, but sabotaging your grades is a quick and easy task from which recovery can be difficult if not impossible. Sabotaging your grades can show up in many forms. But let’s start by taking a look at your priorities. Making your education a priority in your life is critical to your success as a student, however I strongly suggest that education is not your top priority. Your health and well-being should come first over anything else and when you think about it it makes complete sense – you can’t do your best work in scho...

How Can I Get an A in Your Class?

The Huffington Post published an article a few years back giving college students some ideas about things they might want to ask their professors and also topics from which they probably want to steer clear. Today’s question that you might want to ask your instructor: how can I get an A in your class? There are so many things to talk about when answering this question, so I’ll be as brief as possible while trying to hit all the highlights! ·          Show up! Coming to class is the first step in success, and if you’re in an online class, this means logging in at least 4-5 times per week and participating in the discussion forums. There is so much to be gained by simply showing up! ·          Be prepared! You must have the essentials: paper, pencil, computer, internet, textbook. None of these is optional. If aren’t going to have the required course materials, don’t bother signing up for classes...

Things I wish I knew as a college student

I was asked this question recently and all I could think was – where would I start? If I could time travel back to my college years or even my early twenties, I would need months to sit down with my young stubborn self to have enough time to really talk sense into myself. One of the reasons I LOVE student coaching is that I get to help students really change their thinking when it comes to dealing with problems and dealing with people – skills I wish I had had when I was in school. Here are a few of the topics I would be sure to address with my college-age self. Keep in mind this is me talking to myself – think of it as an abbreviated diary entry. You often don’t know enough to have an opinion. You’re not dumb, you’re not stupid, and you’re not irrelevant. However, your limited life experiences give you a limited perspective. Before opening your mouth and committing yourself to a stance or opinion, education yourself. (To be fair, my college aged self didn’t have the internet...
