It's never too early - or too late - to develop good study habits. The sooner you get into a good study groove, the easier everything will be and the more your chances of getting good marks will improve. Here are some tips to make your study efforts more efficient and effective.
3
Establish a set time and place - organise a dedicated study space and stick with a specific time to develop a routine.
Study every day - be sure to do at least a little bit every day, this will get you into the right mindset and will help better immerse you in it.
Plan your time - make lists, set alarms and time limits; whatever you need to make you stick to a schedule.
Find your learning style - Be mindful of how you best learn, whether it is visually, aurally, kinesthetically (physically/practically) or a combination of these.
Review and Revise - Quizzes are great for this, also try making your study materials yourself as this will help to reinforce the information.
Take breaks - Physical activity can be especially beneficial.
Ask for help - It’s often much safer and quicker to do this if things aren’t making sense.
Stay motivated - Don’t forget the big picture! Keep reminding yourself of why your reasons for studying.
There’s an app for that - There are plenty of digital resources for you to utilise in your study practice. Head to http:// www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au/news/articles/5-study-apps for just a few.
Look after yourself - Don’t forget that you learn best when your body and mind are healthy. Sleep is crucial for information retention as this is when the brain processes short-term memory into long-term. Much of last week’s stress relief advice will serve you well in this respect.
Emoji’s are used in everyday life through messaging and on social media platforms to express emotion. If Apple and Android can recognise diversity within our culture, then why can’t the Australian Government? #FreeTheEmoji is all about letting the emoji be free to do what it wants and express how it feels. Transferring to people - letting people be themselves, free from discrimination.
Marriage equality is really only the first step towards decreasing many health issues. LGBTI community is up to 14x more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers (National LGBTI Health Alliance 2013) due to discrimination and exclusion as key determinants. #FreeTheEmoji aims to promote marriage equality in Australia and have partnered with Australian Marriage Equality.

Chorizo and Seafood Paella Ingredients
150 g piece chorizo, sliced 1 medium onion, finely chopped
225 g paella rice
750 ml hot chicken stock
250 g pack if any ready-to-eat seafood/seafood cocktail
Method 1. Channel your inner cocinero (‘chef’ in Spanish). 2. Gently fry the chorizo to release the oil, then turn up the heat to medium
and cook the meat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. 3. Add the onion to the same pan and fry gently in the oil from the chorizo
for 15min until softened. Add the paella rice and cook for 1min, stirring to coat in the oil. 4. Return the chorizo to the pan, then pour in the stock and simmer gently
for 20-25min until the rice is tender and the stock is absorbed. 5. Stir in the seafood, cover the pan and turn off the heat. Leave to stand for 5min until the seafood is heated through.
