College Life

<p>I have 8 or 9 classes per day this semester. </p>

<p>However, I started to feel absent-minded during classes. </p>

<p>Can anybody give suggestions for me how to keep focused?</p>

<p>Well, just take notes during your school hours!</p>

<p>I have the same problem like you!!!
Just clear your mind and stare at your teacher or blackboard
listen to what teacher said</p>

<p>if you can’t help but think of something else
hit yourself
make yourself away from other things</p>

<p>go go go</p>

<p>ha ha! your condition is almost the same with mine! alougth some classes of mine are very boring, i still force myself to take notes. because if i don’t do so, i will soon fall asleep. so, the suggestion which i give you is “take note” !</p>

<p>Maybe you’re just too tired.
I think you should go outdoor and take a walk in the weekends!
Taking rest and relaxing your body may also make your mind clear.
Or you can do some playing basketball or jogging.
This is my experience, I’m not so sure if it really helps you.
Good Luck!</p>

<p>I think I should take note more often… Though I consider some courses aren’t worth to take. collegeboss and hopefuleagle you two are so funny : )</p>

<p>You can eat some candy during the class if it is allowed. What’s more, you can try to figure out the questions in your text book by yourself, or read your text book if you totally know about the course. If you are tired, you can take a nap during the class break or take a walk outside the classroom and you can breathe fresh air to keep your mind awake.</p>

<p>I was having trouble staying awake in Physics because I never took notes, so I started doing Sudoku at the same time and it was much easier to follow the lecture. Taking notes is often the best way to really stay engaged, though.</p>

<p>My advice is also to take notes during the class. Sometimes, the content of the class is boring and you may feel especially boring. I think that is the key point why so hard to focus on class. Taking notes is a good way to keep your concentration and also helps you follow teacher’s steps. By the way, you can go for a walk during break time and make youself relax. This could help you maintain a fresh mind.</p>

<p>Make sure you have a good breakfast/lunch and drink coffee or orange juice in the morning to stay awake.
I know that whenever I start to drift off in lecture, it’s probably because my body needs more fuel and energy.</p>
