Would I need to buy one of those expensive calculators because in the past teachers made us buy them but in the end we could just use the ones that were available in the class for temporary use.

How many normal 3 ring binders should I get? Does the teacher require you to have one for their class or is it just recommended and I could just carry around one of those zipper binders and fit a few classes in that?

Planners/agenda things…does the school issue everyone one or are you required to buy one yourself…or is it not required but recommended? In middle school they always issued us one.

And umm…first day…what should I bring…I know I probably won’t use much but I wanna make sure.

I’ve tried numerous ways to motivate myself – made a list of all the scores i’m aiming for, made study planners, set dates for what has to be achieved… while it all looks great on paper, I JUST CAN’T STUDY!

I might sit there for 2 hours attempting to work on an essay, but spend 1h30m of it on other websites instead. Or when I try to do my maths, i’d go procrastinate and treadmill or something. It’s just so frustrating because this end of year score is so important, it determines which university and course I get into. I know that I’ll end up regretting it if I don’t achieve scores up to standard.

Any suggestions as to how to approach my problem?
EDIT: Ok, I think i’ll go lock myself in some desolate room and not take my phone and mp3…hopefully i’d be able to concentrate :’D

I stopped using a planner a while ago, but I when I was using it, I would write the assignment on the day it was assigned and add the due date next to it because that’s how I was shown as a child. However, I can see the benefits of writing it down on the date that it’s due, e.g. I don’t have to look back at previous pages. One of the downsides for me is that, until I get used to writing it that way, I might not look ahead. If something is due in a few weeks, I may not see that assignment until I turn the page because I’m starting that week.

I’m curious about how people organize stuff. How do you use your planner? Do you do either of these or do you somehow have a different system (for example, my sister was thinking of writing it down on the day it was assigned AND writing it on the day it was due)?

I’m a :
Team player
Organiser / planner
Curious
Dedicated
Imaginative (likes to throw in ideas)

I like :

Helping others
Children
Art (graphic designing stuff)
Computers
Writing
Observing
Traveling
Photography

I’ve considered :
Pediatrician ; Psychologist ( Developmental / Child) ; Computer Science

Fav. Subjects in school :
Chemistry + Math

I really want to study Developmental Psychology but my parents don’t think It’s a good idea. Plus, the demand now days aren’t that great and it’s difficult to get a scholarship in psychology.

Pediatricians need to graduate Medical School then specialise. I don’t know if I can cope and it sounds scary to graduate Med. School first. :[

Computer Science, seems boring when you go in depth? :S and you stare at computers the whole day.

Any suggestions?
I don’t know what I want to study
I don’t know where?, (or any good universities with the good courses for the matter of fact)

Help me! almost everyone in my year is finally starting to decide and I don’t know yet

Last year, I kept a planner, and simply put my to do list in there every day (homework, practices ect.) and i also marked off test dates.

However now that i am in college, i have no idea how to organize it. I mean if i put a daily to do list in there it wont really be “up to date”, just because of the different class schedule. I mean if it’s Monday and i have to have the chapter read by thursday, then putting it on my monday to do list almost seems pointless since i dont really have to read it monday.

i know that’s just procrastination, and being lazy, but i need a different method, because this way i cant prioritize the events. This probably sounds stupid, but I’ve always been a good student, and this is beginning to frustrate me!

So alrighty, lets get to the point:

A highschool Science Teacher
A firefighter
An RCMP Officer
Wedding Planner.

I would appreciate any answers Also can someone explain to me what accounting is? And what courses would I take in UNIVERSITY if I wanted to become any of the things I have listed. My goal is to go to university. I come from a family where colledge isn’t acceptable although colledge and university are almost same THANKS!!!!
WOAH! thanks for that detailed answer
