How do you get ready for back to school?

As someone who is “older” going back to school here are a few things I do to get prepared starting at 5 days out.

1: Make sure my dry erase boards are clean. This is for my weekly to dos for each class.

2: Get my markers and colors for each class. Color coding is very important to me. It makes my brain connect things faster.

3: Get all of my stickers and page markers together. This is something I have recently began to do and I am loving the quick access to pages.

4:Look at my planner and what is already on there. With being in college for a long time I know roughly when things will be do. Switching my schedule now helps the transition.

5: Reflect on why I am in school. I am working towards becoming a Physicians Assistant. This is a daunting task at times with my full time job but I am so excited for it.

... Read moreGetting ready for back to school can be overwhelming, especially for adult learners balancing work and study. To ease the transition, it’s important to create a structured plan. Start by decluttering your study area and ensuring all your supplies, such as dry erase boards and gel pens, are in order. Consider utilizing color coding for your notes and planners, as this can enhance your information retention and organization. Invest in quality tools like mildliner markers and stickers, which add a touch of personalization to your study materials and make it easier to navigate your tasks. Reflecting on your educational goals is crucial. Whether you aim to become a Physicians Assistant or pursue another career path, keeping your motivation in focus will drive your success. Seek out online resources or support groups that align with your field, as they can provide additional guidance and encouragement. Lastly, don’t hesitate to involve family or friends in your journey; sharing your goals can minimize the feeling of isolation and foster accountability. Back to school preparations are not only about organization but also about cultivating a positive mindset and strong support network.
