What are some study habits that I should learn as a dual enrollment student, but can still be used when im a full-time college student?
I am currently in 12th grade and have a passion for all science classes. I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters and taking care of my cats. My goal is to become a veterinary technician, as I have a deep love for animals and have always wanted to help people with their pets in any way I can.

Love that you’re already thinking about how to set yourself up for success!
A few study habits that really helped me were reading over the syllabus and any upcoming assignments before class. Even spending five minutes reviewing what’s coming up can make you feel more prepared and save a lot of stress later. During lectures, taking good notes is key-I liked having a separate notebook for each class and using different colored pens to keep things organized.
I also found that studying with classmates made a big difference. Meeting in the library and taking turns explaining concepts to each other helped the information stick so much better. One of the best ways to know if you truly understand something is to be able to teach it back to someone else.
And I’m so happy to hear that you’re already volunteering with animals! That experience will definitely help you as you work toward becoming a vet tech. You’ll start noticing connections between what you’re learning in class and what you’re seeing at the shelter. Plus, it looks fantastic on a resume!
