article: Dysfunctional thinking is a way of framing the world so that you feel you're always fighting an uphill battle. Some common examples include: Polarized thinking: Not allowing for any gray areas in life, or thinking in "black and white." Filtering or discounting the positives: Focusing on the negative of a situation and ignoring any positives. Fortune-telling: Thinking that you know what will happen in the future. Mind-reading: Thinking you know that others are thinking badly of you or that you are responsible for their negative feelings. Overgeneralization: Thinking that one bad experience guarantees more bad experiences. Blaming: Blaming yourself for things you are not responsible. Emotional reasoning: Thinking with emotions or letting emotions affect how you perceive an event. "Should statements": Using terms such as "should", "must", and "ought" to in your thinking; this is a form of judging yourself. Magnification and minimization: Thinking that make issues seem larger than they are or trying to ignore issues. Labeling: Using terms that diminish your whole self-concept by being known as a certain trait or mistake. Journaling can be a useful tool in order to analyze your own thoughts without outside help. Journaling can help you identify and change the way you think and behave. This practice has also been shown to help decrease stress, which can be a byproduct of depression and loneliness. Find whatever works best for you. This can be a notebook, loose-leaf notebook paper, or your computer. Our thoughts greatly influence how we feel and how we interpret and perceive our environments, our futures, and ourselves. People who suffer with depression often have thoughts that they are worthless, unlovable, or undeserving, and they often have thoughts that their environments are overwhelming, have insurmountable obstacles, and that their futures are hopeless. Many who suffer from depression feel powerless to change how they feel and the course of their lives. Our thoughts greatly influences our feelings and behaviors, which is the basis for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT has been shown to be successful for treating depression. Relapse depression symptoms were much lower for those who had undergone CBT than for those who were being treated with medications alone. A great way to start this process is to monitor your emotions and automatic thoughts by recording them in a journal or daily record. Start first by noticing mood changes, then begin to analyze what your thoughts had been just prior to feeling differently. For example: Event: I received poor feedback on my presentation at work. Feelings: I felt embarrassed. Here is another example: Event: I forgot to sign the birthday card for my boss. Feeling: I felt regretful and embarrassed. Automatic thoughts are the things that pop into your head spontaneously. They tend to pertain to three types of ideas: ideas about yourself, about the world, and about the future. After you've identified your emotions about an event where your mood changed, you can start to analyze the automatic thoughts that correspond to the event. Then you can evaluate these thoughts to determine how they are dysfunctional, challenge them by looking for evidence for and against the thought. In your journal, create a chart in which you can record certain situations, their corresponding emotions, and the thoughts you had just prior to your emotions. For example: Event: I received poor feedback on my presentation at work. Feelings: I felt embarrassed. Automatic thought: I am so stupid. Identify the dysfunctional thought: You are labeling yourself. Here is another example: Event: I forgot to sign the birthday card for my boss. Feeling: I felt regretful and embarrassed Automatic thoughts: I know my boss hates me now. Identify the dysfunctional thought: You are trying to mind-read. Counteract your automatic labeling with thoughts that are more rational. Some ways to generate more rational thoughts include looking for evidence for or against the automatic thought, looking to your past for a similar situation in which the automatic thought did not hold true, and analyze the situation for blame and logically redistribute responsibility for feelings and events to others that may have been involved. For example: Event: I received poor feedback on my presentation at work. Feelings: I felt embarrassed. Thoughts: I am so stupid. Rational thought: I am not my thoughts or behaviors. I am not a label. I am not stupid. I made a mistake and will do better in the future. Here is another example: Event: I forgot to sign the birthday card for my boss. Feeling: I felt regretful and embarrassed Automatic thoughts: I know my boss hates me now. Rational thought: I cannot know what my boss is thinking about me. It was an honest mistake. I can always verbally tell my boss happy birthday.

article: Biology textbooks have really good questions at the end of each chapter that reinforce the concepts that you need to understand from the material. Try answering the questions and see how many you can get through. Take note of the questions that are more difficult to answer. Revisit your notes on these topics and/or reread that part of the chapter. If you're having a lot of difficulty answering these questions, seek extra help from your classmates or teacher. Avoid walking out of class and forgetting about everything you just learned. Reviewing your notes later that evening or the next day can help you synthesize what you have learned. When reviewing, ask yourself if everything makes sense. If something stands out that confuses you, reread the material on that concept in your textbook. If it still doesn't make sense, ask your teacher about it in the next class. Because biology can be difficult for many students, you must put in the time to do well. If you set aside time every night or every other night for biology, you will get into the good habit of frequently studying. You will thank yourself later when you don't have to cram for the exam because you have been reviewing everything this whole time. Stick to your study schedule and make it a habit. If you skip 1 day, be sure to get back on track the next day and not let yourself slip into not studying multiple days in a row. Even if you're busy, plan to spend 15 minutes per day reviewing your notes. This can make a big difference! Creating mnemonic devices can be really helpful when studying biology. For instance, you could create a mnemonic to help you remember the order of the substrates in the Krebs cycle. A phrase like, "Citrate Is Krebs Starting Substrate For Making Oxaloacetate" can make it easier to remember Citrate, Isocitrate, Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Succinyl CoA, Succinate, Fumarate, Malate, Oxaloacetate. If you have access to exams from previous years, try taking them and see how much of you get right. If you don't have access to these, study your quizzes and previous tests for an idea of the types of questions you will get asked. Answering questions from old tests will give you an idea of what you need to keep studying and what topics you have mastered. You could also make up your own quizzes to test yourself on the material. Focus on the concepts you have the most difficulty with. This helps you process the information in a meaningful way, instead of just trying to memorize it.

article:
Avoid deciding that your group will need a designated driver after the first round of drinks. It is very dangerous to decide who will be the designated driver based off of the person who is the least drunk or has had the least to drink. It is wise for the designated driver to remain sober the entire night. Although it is legal to drive with a blood alcohol content of .08, unless you have an accurate breathalyzer, it is wise for the designated driver to completely refrain from drinking. To avoid any disagreements or fights while you are intoxicated, give your keys to your designated driver before you start drinking. Instruct the designated driver to not return your keys to you until you are sober, even if you adamantly request them.
