GETTING READY TO LEARN BY SYAFIQAH SAHIRA
Hi, assalamualaikum w.b.t dear readers. Welcome to my third blog! Before we get start, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Syafiqah Sahira binti Saidi, usually people call me by my first name. I was born and lived in Klang, Selangor. Currently, I'm UITM student at Jengka, Pahang and my faculty is Plantation and Agrotechnology. I desired to share with you, about 'getting ready to learn' that I have learned from study skill.
DIFFERENCE SCHOOL AND
UNIVERSITY
During the school days,
the distance from home to school is very close and does not even have to cross
the district. In addition, parents or the bus will send you to school but
different when it comes to university. In order to get reach your dream, you
have to leave your family, friends and get out from your comfort zone. You’re
also going to have to adjust to independent living.
Once you enter university is totally new learning
environment in every aspect. To begin with, universities are much bigger with
thousands of students, plus choices and responsibilities is on your own
shoulder, that is what you are going to make. But, don’t panic, you’ll pick it
up much faster than you expect.
“First thing first, no one is going to yell at you if
you don’t do your assignments or when you decide to skip lectures. It is all on
you. You are in charge and responsible for your uni life as an adult. You won’t
be forced to do anything, but it will always be beneficial to your learning if
you do it.”
At university, you’re expected to take
responsibility for your own learning. Unlike school, there will be no-one
checking that you’ve done your homework, reminding you when assignments are
due, or making sure you show up to your lectures. It’s up to you, how and when
you want to learn.
