Finding What Learning Style Works For You

By Franklin Skribbit


No one suffers from the superman complex more than college students. They are young, strong, energetic, and ready to take on the world. While it's true that most students make it through alive, the consequences of their lifestyle will take a toll. As boring and adult as it sounds, staying healthy in college sure has its benefits! Check it out.

There are a lot of ways that you can find out what learning style you are but just simply taking a test can help you understand how you should be learning. Many of these tests ask questions that pertain to how you remember things so you can almost just skip these tests by taking a look at what is most effective for you when you are learning.

There seem to be two extremes when it comes to college diets. The first: eat every piece of junk food you can get your hands on. The second: eat nothing but rice cakes. Alright, so those are a bit extreme and naturally there are variations in-between, but the principle remains the same. It's important to eat normal meals; not dieting or junk-binging. Don't let every meal come from a can or box. You need fresh food, a variety of foods, and the proper portions as well.

There are several major learning styles and you may fall into two or more, so finding the right combination is really about trial and error, but it is very important to actively try each one and notice how much you are able to retain by the end. This means you should try learning by listening to someone else read out loud for audio learning. Try learning something by taking hands on approach for the kinesthetic learning style. Lastly try writing out diagrams in order to visualize things. All of these can help you get ahead but it is important that you pay attention to the ones that work for you the most. Sometimes you can make them work in combinations and that can really enhance your learning experience all-together.

Do everything you can to set a regular sleep schedule. If you can go to bed and get up around the same time every day, your body will get the rest it needs and be able to handle the demands of the day. Of course, that won't happen if you consistently go to bed at 3 and wake up at 6. Most people need at least 6-9 hours of sleep per night to function properly. Lack of sleep will wear down your body in the long term as well as the short term. Don't put your body through that unnecessary stress.

In the end these simple little tips will help you find, try, and ultimately implement your learning style in the real world. Make sure that you are ready to give up some of the institutionalized habits you have picked up along the way.
