Hi! Welcome to Mindful Learning Blogs!
I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University studying Cognitive Studies, and I'm excited to be here to share how I applied Educational Psychology in real life and how you can do it!
My blogs aim to help college students improve self-awareness, develop study skills, and boost confidence in learning!
Dear Reader:
I know how it feels to be working hard, trying your best, and still not getting a good grade:
"Why does everyone else get it… but I don't?"
"Am I just not smart enough?"
Growing up, that voice followed me everywhere.
But when I got to college, I had to balance personal life, work, and academic life.
I didn't have much time to study like I used to have, so I learned to study smarter — which means I now have free time to have fun!
In my blogs, I'm excited to share some of my personal stories and how to use psych-based strategies to improve memory, motivation, focus, and confidence in learning, so that you can get good grades!
I hope you are as excited as I am!
