Tou Yang and the SSB transition team talk with students about setting clear goals, knowing your \u201cwhy\u201d (motivation), building a realistic schedule, and staying disciplined\u2014especially when you hit that week-two wall and want to quit. The group names common traps like procrastination and cramming, and offers practical fixes: block out study time, write everything down, set reminders, and cut distractions (yes, your phone). A key college takeaway is the \u201c1 hour in class = 2 hours outside class\u201d guideline, which shows how fast a 15-credit schedule becomes a full-time workload. Students also hear that schedules can flex\u2014shift time between classes and protect downtime to avoid burnout.   Links of interests: The Spectacle Newsletter Youth Services at SSB   To find out more about the services provided at State Services for the Blind, and what they can do for you, contact Shane DeSantis at shane.desantis@state.mn.us or call Shane at 651-385-5205.   Full Transcript   Thanks for listening!
