@NASA2014 I didn’t pay the $400 because every time I make a purchase I feel like dave ramsey is judging me. @3scoutsmom my school has a weird system to where FA doesn’t cover summer but they say next summer it might be in place to where it’ll cover it. @raclut these are the following steps I plan to do be more successful in school.

1. Take afternoon and/or evening classes. I'm not a morning person so I often snooze the alarm clock when I wake up in the morning and end not waking up until a certain point when I only have time to get ready but not eat breakfast. I believe this will let me make sure I get plenty of sleep , give time to eat breakfast and/or lunch, and help in some way with my study habits and memorization as I could absorb information from lectures better and be more awake when studying. This will also help because I often don't get enough sleep If I have to sleep at night because I'm a night owl and my mom and her boyfriend can be noisy due to them staying up late. This will also make it less likely to miss or be late to class or get sick to where I miss class. It's nice how college has class time flexibility.

2. Have a planner/schedule/calendar on my phone and/or tablet to set reminders. Even though I can remember things I may have fifty things to do at once, it can be hard to choose which task to complete, and then I waste so much time thinking that I don't get anything done. I think this well help me be organized with what I need to do, have my days planned, and know the specific task I need to complete. I still have to be motivated to complete my tasks to do it. This might make my life a little easier.

3. Don't drink soda, only eat meat in moderation, and eat a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables. I talked a lot about this in my soda and fast food thread. I just think soda messes up memorization and sleep. Is breakfast as important as people say? This will make it less likely i will get sick as I did a lot this past semester.

4. Study and do homework/assignments at the library and/or campus. This should be a quiet place to study as I mentioned in Step #1 my home can be noisy and another problem is I don't have a desk at home to study at and the bed is not a good place to study. This will also give access to computer labs, tutoring, and research(books or computer) while I do this. I wish my home was a good place to study.

5. I'll try the best in my power to make sure I have access to a support on campus or therapist to get help or have someone to talk to if I have depression, anxiety, and other problems as these will not go away because of my aspergers. This will also help me so that If a family member has problems again or passes away again I can talk to them and they might be able to give advice on staying focused so that this won't interfere with my grades again. This will also help with current life issues and help me move forward.

6. Not only will I go to tutoring or professor office hours but I will make sure the person I seek for help is the right kind of tutor for me and make sure that I don't have anything to do while he Is there at the tutoring center. I know the tutor I really like and the tutors I don't like. I started staying away from the bad tutors even when I really needed help because they were so rude. Tutoring is also great for if the instructor isn't good.

7. I will make sure I only work on the weekends so that during the week I can focus on my studies and get all the help from tutors or professors I need. I made a mistake of working too much this past semester so I think this will really help and make a difference in my academics and still have some money.

8. Study with Flashcards for classes that focus on memorization and test myself or have someone test me before a test. for math i will do my homework again or do extra problems, do practice tests, and make sure I am doing things right with the tutors, professor, or other classmates before a quiz, test, or final exam. For English, i will make sure that I do every paper with a writing tutor and have it read before I turn it into my professor.

9.I will make sure I have my accommodations in place for fall such as taking the exams in the assessment center, using a smartpen in class that’ll allow me to take notes faster or record lectures, and maybe using earplugs while i’m in the assessment center(the assessment center was noisy as I could hear background noise and got distracted). I’ve always had an IEP in my K-12 education.

1. Get rid of the apps such as social media and the ones that give a lot of notifications on my phone and tablet to avoid time Tooken away from studies. I will also get rid of things I get emails from I don't read.

@bodangles @3scoutsmom @happy1 @raclut @intparent @NASA2014 does it sound like I have a solid plan to be successful or is there more to add? I think social studies is an easy subject but I’m worried about Public speaking, any tips on being successful in that class?
