• Download lecture slides beforehand and read through - see what you find difficult to understand.
• If you have an iPad/tablet with stylus, import into note taking app e.g. Notability/GoodNotes to annotate.
• Notion is a LIFESAVER when it comes to typing your notes - looks slick and clean.
• For flashcards, I use Zorbi to import from Notion.

Budgeting

Plan once money comes in

Identify Priorities

Find the items you'll spend money on e.g. food, books, stationery, gym, nights out etc.

EWhether you have a job or loans, sort out your money in those groups so you don;t have to worry about missing payments etc.

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem. Aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo

Find cheap places

Part-time job?

It helps to have a part-time job. I personally do tutoring and work part-time in a pharmacy - the world is your oyster!

Wherther its Aldi or Lidl, find places where items can be cheaper than usual places.

Any Questions?

Thanks!
