CHAPTER 2TIME AND MONEY
In this chapter, we had to keep track of what we did for a week and write it down. It was a good eye-opener for what I do a lot of.
We also had to monitor our income and expenses and figure out what we spend the most money on.
We also talked about what to do if we are in financial trouble.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME! I am:
Visual/Spatial which means that I have to see things in front of me for me to really comprehend them
This means that I have many strengths in classes where we get a lot of papers with notes on them
This also means that I am not very good in the classes where it is all power point or lectures.
![Page 13: College Success 106 By: Amanda Evans](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815e76550346895dccf9a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
RIGHT OR LEFT?
I am right brained! I am way more creative (right brain)
than I am logical (left brain) This is a strength for me because
most of my classes require me to be creative.
This is a weakness for me because it means I do not do very good in my math and science classes.

STUDY STRATEGIES I USE I use outlining as a study strategy
(as I said before) I also use mnemonics as a study
strategy. In my Early Childhood Class, we are
studying SPLICE. S – Social P – Physical L – Language I – Intellectual C – Cognitive E - Emotional

TEST ANXIETY(Ellis, 2009, p.144)
Yell “STOP!” - when you think you are getting too worried about tests
Praise yourself! – when you are about to be hard on yourself, praise yourself instead
Consider the worst! – think about the very worst thing that could happen
Breathe! – just calm down and take a couple minutes to breathe
![Page 17: College Success 106 By: Amanda Evans](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815e76550346895dccf9a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
TEST ANXIETY (CONTINUED)(Ellis, 2009, p.144)
Think about how your feeling! Exercise! – regularly exercise during
the time you are preparing for a test Get help! – if you need help, talk to
the professor
