T-T-Terminology

Some classes in university can be full of definitions you need to memorise and it can often seem daunting. We can often feel like Piglet at times.

But, do not worry Life Squad! There are plenty of apps and websites that can help us create digital flashcards, particularly useful for those definitions or quick bullet points you need to remember.

Quizlet is an app and website that allows you to create flashcards. You can insert a term and definition, as well as include an image or voice recording to help you remember. There are games that you can play to help you study such as flashcards, write, spell, test and match. Here is a screenshot of how I have used it from my IT class.

Note-taking Tips

These note-taking tips are really helpful when listening to lectures/readings when making notes. Develop or use symbols and abbreviations. I would recommend keeping a key, such as the example below at the beginning of your book just in case you forget what the symbols mean.

Try to summarise this as much as possible. -           The left column is the cues area. This is where you write notes in the margins to help you understand the main ideas. -           The bottom section is the summary . This is where you ...

Perfect hacks for lazy people like me!

Hey guys! Are you as lazy as me and sometimes just want to get away with the bare minimum before going out? Well then I have some great news for you! Here are my top tips on how to get away with the bare minimum on those lazy days 1. If you’re feeling extra tired because you didn’t get enough sleep from all the Netflix binging or even partying- that of course your friends dragged you out to – use a white eyeliner to make you seem more awake! Just add some on the waterline in the bottom of your lid for a fresh and awake look. 2. If you’re feeling too lazy to take your makeup off after a night out and just want to sleep when you get home, make sure to keep some makeup remover wipes and a glass of water by your bed, the makeup wipes are to make sure you don’t clog your pores and the water is so you love yourself in the morning instead of having to get out of that warm and comfy bed! 3. If you are like me and love makeup but find it tedious to look at reviews and go into s...

Learning to Budget

Budgets Whether your a university student or not, budgeting is a important life skill to have. If your a university student reading this, you know the struggles when i comes to balancing work, University, social life and money. Sometimes the bank account has to take a hit in order for you to get that next assessment done or you end up working instead of getting that time with friends or family. This is when a budget/plan comes in. It helps you manage your finances by planning ahead based on what you might spend or what you might be saving up for. Documenting your expenses The first step towards a budget is working out how much you earn vs how much you spend. This means displaying your set expenses (rent, phone bill, insurance etc) + what you might spend on average per month. Then offsetting that by working out how much you earn on average a month (fortnightly also is a great option). This helps you calculate whether at the end of a typical month your making a profit or a l...
