I'm not writing because it's Valentine's Day. I am writing because I live for Collo. There may be a few other things, but Collo is what it's all about. In case that special someone is out there reading, please proceed cautiously. This blog will probably send you running for the hills, where you will see me on the trail up and begin to wonder what madness you have gotten yourself into. Just in case, Happy Valentine's Day: (Insert Name Here).
I want to talk a bit about what I'm doing this semester to better myself as a Collo student. I'll keep it brief, and we can pretend that's for the reader's pleasure. My interest in I/O psychology has led me to read quite a few books on interacting with other people. I have found them to be very interesting and helpful in my quest to learn effective communication. For my project this semester, I want to take a similar approach to learning something more broadly applicable. Thanks to my roommate and a local used book store, I own two books that talk about habit formation and productivity. These books will teach me skills that I can begin using immediately, and I hope to have an excellent semester because of them. Spoiler Alert: I'm started reading them, and they have already proven helpful. I will be sure to note the most effective strategies I learn and how I found them most useful for my activities and studying this semester. Update: I have some interesting books on memory techniques and how they can be incorporated into effective studying. In later posts, I may mention my use of some learning strategies should they contribute to increased productivity and studying efficiency. There isn't much else to say in this post, but I will include more about the happenings of ETSU in the coming weeks. Stay happy, my friends. -JD
