I had this feeling a while back. However now I realized that books aren't really as valuable as people think.

I've always enjoyed the idea of psychiatry but getting into it seems to be way too complicated

Although this might give experience. Trying to do multiple things at once will never work

I actually prefer small class sizes as opposed to large classes. It makes me learn more

Speed is important. If you quickly do things you will never fail

You must get out of your comfort zone to be sucessful

Fate and destiny are two things you can't negotiate

Buying and selling

Although this is a great you also have to take it from the gatekeeping business side. If you have an idea and it works you shouldn't just tell everyone

You can't feed every sick patient the same medicine !

This was actually one of my research topics during the COVID era and my first semester in University.

I'm sure 99% of people say this and the truth is most of the courses you take you don't even apply in real world scenarios. For example, geologists here the UofA use none of their skills they get from University and transfer it over to jobs. Each company mandates a 6 month training to get you to do something specific.

This is very true. The way you can send a message with certain words can influence how people react to it. One powerful speaker is Mohammed Al Qahtani an Aramco speaker.

This is something I completely relate to especially during the era of me filling out college applications

After every course, I like to ensure that I reflect on that course. What went wrong, what went right and how the course effected the way I look at things

Simply taking one gen ed course does not allow you to fully develop all the skills you need. You must mix the courses "ingredients" in order to develop all skills.

This accurately represents me, as I am a innovative and critical thinker but at the same time my mind is also concluded.

This is pretty much life. Connecting dots with each other. If you truly think about an artist can't make an informed decision even if it's subjective without implementing some aspects of humanities, and sciences

This is also heavily applies to me. If there's no logic or proper reasoning behind anything then I either won't understand it, ignore it or think nothing of it.

Each artist has his own way of looking at things.

Researching is something that I truly enjoy. It allows me to always be engaged in conversations and put my 2 cents on the topic

This is truly me. I have hated chemistry in high school and hate even more now.

Having taken a humanist gen ed before I can 100% say with full confidence say that it completely changes your perspective on certain aspects

This is actually interesting to me because I am taking a class about art and politics. Art can be used to communicate in a way that words cannot describe.

Perspectives ultimately comes from backgrounds. Resulting in different perspectives.

Perspective-taking is an extremely important skill as sometimes you have to understand why someone is acting the way they are or feeling the way they are

This is currently one of my biggest fears

This was kind of like me. My dad always said that one day I would become a very knowledge software developer even in my early days. I thought it was ridiculous but here we are.

Asking and active listening are very important skills. You must ask in order to be knowledge and you must be able to listen to important details

100% Agree on this. It allows you to know what you truly want to do in the future

People never like to view other people's point of view. They think they're infallible and 100% correct and judge too quickly

Anything is better than a 0. Discipline and Integrity are worth more than cheating and potentially receiving a 0. When you maintain those 2 you can possibly achieve something you never thought you'd ever achieve,

I pretty much have to take control of the group and always do must of the work which sucks but at the same time I look at it from a positive perspective to motivate myself. The way I look at it is that it allows me develop my leadership skills and hard working methods to work smartly

In my opinion, I feel like this method is the easiest and first way to build a connection with you and your professor whether it's online or in person.

This is completely relatable to me. I've tried college education in both Saudi and UofA and the U.S. system is completely foreign to me and will most definitely require some time to get used to.

A lot of stuff that I've learned is rarely ever going to be used in my future career and goals. The only things that I found helpful are electives which help build yourself and your path and most importantly math classes

I like to work in the shadows and let no one know what I'm planning or doing. Once I've successfully completed my task I show everyone out of nowhere the results.

This is actually quite the opposite for me. I'm always worried that I'm not going to be successful and financially free in the near future

As much as I agree with this, I'm the complete opposite. Once I've learned how peaceful and amazing being alone /.with a limited friend group is, it's really hard to join in with other people that don't have the same disciplined and winning mentality as you have. It's something that I should adapt to and work on but prefer not to.

Reflecting on your learning both positively and negatively is one of the most powerful skills I've ever obtained. If you're constantly looking back and questioning yourself on what you could've done better and what to avoid next time, you build up so much discipline which allows you to improve as an overall person.

One important lesson that I have learned outside the classroom is that it's impossible to master multiple things at once. For example, I wanted to become the best at a video game, software development, crypto investor and many other things all at once. I told my mentor about this and he told me that I will never be able to master all those things at once and that I should master one thing at a time. 3 years later I am successfully a top crypto investor, one of the best players on the video game halo and gained significant software development skills.

Whenever I ask someone a question inquiring about why I should do something, it's because I am genuinely trying to see their point of view and possibly provide some input on alternate methods or avoiding doing something if I know if it won't benefit me. Being answered with "Because I said so" usually makes me want to not listen and take matters into my own hands.
