This is such a godsend video because my semester is literally starting today! I have back-to-back classes all day and big goals of getting good grades. I can't wait to watch this when I get home! I hope you have a great semester Keegan

[@KeeganActon]

@miracle aaliyah I am in college! My major is in journalism. I'm the same age as Keegan but I'm in a five year program so I'm not graduating until next year

[@surfpassion19]

@miracle aaliyah Oh nice! What year are you in currently? Also do you have socials?

[@samanthag9450]

@miracle aaliyah she answered that in some videos so can you check on that?

[@victoriamather2267]

Never say never about going back to school 🤣 I graduated at 22 in Fashion Merchandising, fast forward to age 27, Fashion Merchandising wasn’t for me and I went back for Personal and Business Finance 😆 I think it’s crazy to decide what you’re going to do for the rest of your life at 22.

[@KeeganActon]

i’m so happy for you that you sound what you’re passionate about!!! and i agree i feel way too young to be making these big decisions hahaha

[@victoriamather2267]

@@KeeganActon Thank you, proud of you for making it this far and good luck for the future! ❤️

[@Darklink7884]

It's already 2022 and I'm still in utter disbelief that you and I are both graduating seniors. I'm going to miss seeing new back-to-school videos from you but I'm also excited for this new chapter of your life. In response to your fears about your KZbin channel failing after college: Everything is going to be okay, and we're not going anywhere. I'm 100% sticking around after you graduate. I binge watch you a lot because you are so so sweet and caring as a person, and I'll gladly watch anything you post. Your KZbin channel will continue to thrive for many many years, even after you've already graduated.

[@KeeganActon]

i can’t believe we’re graduating either!! and you have no idea how much that means to me🥲

[@Carlosediaz543]

Thanks you so much, this was actually so useful, canvas is a maze sometimes so definitely was super helpful going thought it. I just started using google calendar to plan out the week and it’s been super helpful. I also might need to steel that background idea it’s genius.

I love this so much, b/c I straight up do the exact same thing as you and honestly my planner is my life when it comes to college

[@Katie-kf5pv]

KEEGAN! After watching your videos about school I started reading my college syllabus for every class as SOON as I get it and writing down every. single. assignment and due date BEFORE the class starts and it has LITERALLY changed my life and makes me so much more prepared for the class!! 💛

[@KeeganActon]

you have no idea how happy that makes me!! made my whole day i love you!!!

I will never get over your new room. It’s so so cute and cozy! 💗💗

OMG UR SOOOO PRETTY 🤩

[@rebekahmartin2354]

This was so helpful!! I just started using canvas this year so thank you!

[@natertater4974]

I am so glad she posted this it was super helpful. Something that I did was put all my assignments on an excel sheet and then color coded the classes and arranged them by due date so I had all my assignments in the same place and I could see what needed to be done on what day for the whole semester. The other thing I did was time block my life I created a calendar for when I had class and work and then when people were like we should hang out I had my schedule already there on my calendar. Keegan is amazing though I am so excited for the content this semester and I know she is going to ace this final semester of college!

[@KeeganActon]

this is such a great tip!! i really love it

Hi Connie. May I also suggest listening to my lofi music while studying? It has been shown to help students stay focused by triggering the cerebrum. It also makes studying more enjoyable. All the best in your future!

[@macydowns2192]

Love this! My school uses Blackboard, which doesn't have huge differentiations between each course, so I like to make a separate window in Chrome for each course. That way I don't have an overwhelming amount of tabs, and it helps me stay focused because my personal tabs aren't in class windows!

Another tip I do is I download each syllabus and use the highlight on Word documents to highlight important things I want to remember and/or look back on in the middle of the semester

[@KeeganActon]

yes!!!!! this is an AMAZING tip

[@ashleekayla4468]

i love to make an excel with the assignment and then the points and where i submit it and then a column with a formula that calculates how many days i have until it’s due, etc. it’s color coordinated by class and it’s the only thing that keeps me organized

[@E_btsot798]

Good luck with your last semester! I had difficulty with my own last semester of Uni but I finished and graduated! you can too! one thing i find funny is i read my sylubi each semester and kept up with what was due for each week for the most part each of my classes kept up with the sylubus and the assigned assignments but it was my history classes that kept getting behind mostly from the sylubus and sometimes ahead but mostly behind.... Hmmmmm

[@E_btsot798]

for Blackboard: at least with my University for the most part teachers had their sylubus in a seperate moduel that said something around the lines of start here! and that's where they would put any beginnin assignments or just easy points really plus any updated sulyubies goes there too... than each moduel would be a week or two weeks of school my undergrad classes so freshman year and sophmore year classes had just one week moduel's whereas my upper undergrad classes so my junior and senior year classes had two week sometimes 4 week moduel's really it depends on the class and what level of the class you are taking... and there would also be a section for any announcements my proffessors had for whatever classes I was taking towards the left of my screen on blackboard and on the right would be the list of classes I was enrolled in the same would be if I was taking a summer course or winter course... then in the moduel's themelves that's where the prof's would put the assigments that were due that week and on what day as well as the links to those assignments plus any like video or reading assignment I had to do for the class that week.... but I did have some prof's who put turnitin links in a seperate moduel folder completely from the assignment.. it all just depends on the university and the prof's preferances on how the blackboard or school site is designed.... and as for sylbus what I look for too is disability support in the classroom.... but that's just me I needed extra help in the classroom especially on the electronic side....
