diml as a dual major student | work day ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐
a day in my life as a college student! I work Monday-Friday on campus, which is where I do most of my homework!
โ๏ธOn days where I go in later (noon) I try to get half of my steps in for the day. If I have a test, I will listen to my lectures before starting my study session. If it is a no test week, I use this time for audio books and podcast.
๐ปI am thankful I work on a beautiful campus in a computer lab! I am able to start my study sessions here, and create outlines and quizlets on shift. This way when I get home, I can re-read them.
๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ปI am obsessed with Notion. Notion is a free productivity and note taking website. I have my school dashboard here, as well as fun stuff like TBR and film lists.
๐As a dual tourism major who take summer courses, I have had to find a way to study that works for me.
I love the outline method.
Outlines: using an outline method has helped me retain information. Itโs cut my reading time down too, which is nice.
- I start with reading through a new chapter, no notes or highlighting, just read.
-Then I create an outline with major concepts or topics, and write what I can under each.
-After I will do a re read and fill it in with supplemental information!
๐๐ปโโ๏ธI normally do not run late at night, but I just started marathon training and had to fit it in this day!

Being a dual major can be challenging, yet it's an enriching experience that fosters unique skills. Many students face the dilemma of balancing rigorous academic requirements with part-time work. Utilizing productivity tools like Notion enhances organization, making it easier to create outlines and manage study sessions effectively. For auditory learners, incorporating audiobooks or podcasts during breaks can improve understanding and retention. The day often starts with a proactive approach to getting steps in early; this promotes both physical health and mental clarity. For test periods, preparation might involve reviewing lecture notes, making audio notes, or even forming study groups which can enhance collaborative learning. Itโs crucial to develop a personalized study planโretaining information through engaging methods is essential. For those navigating summer courses, it becomes critical to establish a consistent study schedule while engaging in various activities that ground you, like exercise or hobbies. Outlining is effective for breaking down complex subjects, and knowing when to take breaks can prevent burnout. Many students also find that sharing experiences on platforms like Lemon8 promotes a sense of community, offering support and motivation. Remember, whether you're engaging in marathon training or diving into student life, the balance of work and personal well-being is vital. Community support, productive study techniques, and time management are key to thriving as a dual major student.
Love how organized you are. I wish I was this organized when I was in school.
