8 Tips I Wish I knew When I Was Younger...

Para español, sigue hasta abajo...


Hi everyone!
✌I'm QueenMary353. Thanks for taking your precious time to come and read my blog👀. For this first post, I will be explaining some general concepts that I wish I knew when I was younger👩👵. Part of this comes from the first chapter of my book. 


Therefore, for me to approach all of you, of different ages, different circumstances, and different backgrounds, I will give you some general ideas 💭of what to do before and after finishing school, and why is it important to be educated (read), even if nobody supports you. However, these tips also apply to anyone👂at any stage of their lives. Thus, don't be discouraged if you read this and you feel that this won't apply to you because you're no longer in school👍. I am still using these tips for myself and learning to do better as I keep going on.😁


Also, in my book, I will give you other secrets that nobody usually tells you and I had to discover on my own. For example, how do I choose my career?👮👲👷 Is it equally important to choose something you love 💘and something that will give you money?💪💅 How do I make connections and network? 👥 How do I prepare my resume to get hired? How do I negotiate a salary? 👌🙈What are taxes and what is a mortgage? 😐😓 There are so many confusing items that yet are necessary and important as an adult. No worries, in my book, I will go in length to explain many of these questions and concepts👏😆.


However, here are some tips that could help you get started:


1. First is to choose your topic/field of interest to study. There are so many different types of degrees that you can choose nowadays. Also, find out if there are scholarships that can pay you to study. Website suggestions like https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/scholarships  might help you look for examples of scholarships that you could apply to.


2. Get your degree but recognize that school is not easy, and it is not updated to our reality. School (or learning) will never end in our life. Read a book, read the newspapers, look for online news, listen to podcasts or audiobooks, etc., and be up to date.

3. School is not forever, but some of your choices are. Be smart and build a plan to choose your career, because unfortunately selecting something that doesn’t pay well enough at the end could be a bad idea, especially if you end up with student loans.

4. Research what career suits you best. If you’re still enrolled in school, your counselor should help you select a career. After all, you will be the one going to work every day and it is important to choose a career that you feel passionate and content about.

5. Be aggressive pursuing your goals! yes, just like the cheerleaders suggest in those school games, you have to pursue your interests and be as persistent as you can, even if NO ONE believes in you. Finishing a career is not easy but when you feel overwhealmed, think of the future and visualize yourself there.

6. Volunteer. If you don’t have work experience, or it has been a long time since you’ve worked, volunteering can be a great way to build your career, and get some experience.

7. Network and build your connections. For example, by volunteering (tip 6) you can get to know people and make new connections. This is important to get a job because they could recommend you to your future employer.

8. Invest in stocks and consider other income options. This usually sounds like a abstract concept but in reality is not so difficult and it is for EVERYONE! not just the Wall Street Guys. And no, I am not a financial advisor, but I am financially self-educated. My advise is to read about stocks first (there are a lot of good books and videos about this), get yourself educated and then start investing if you have spare money (do not invest your money to pay the bills or borrow money from someone else to invest).


 In conclusion, some of these tips are a little obvious while others are not. 👆But now that you have a general idea of the things you could do to thrive as an adult, remember that each person is different so do not compare yourself to others👯👽. Instead, what I want for you is to feel inspired enough to go for your dreams (which sounds cliché but is true)😄. Maybe your goals are to become a doctor, but maybe your dreams are to be an entrepreneur and have your homemade shampoo business. 💇Whatever it is, these simple guidelines might help you succeed. 👏 Thanks for reading my blog!

Versión en Español:


¡Hola a todos! Soy QueenMary353. Gracias por tomarte tú valioso tiempo para leer mi blog👀. Esta publicación se la dedico a todas esas personas de habla hispana (es el blog anterior pero en Español), y explicaré algunos conceptos generales que desearía saber cuando era más joven👩👵. Parte de esto proviene del primer capítulo de mi libro, el cual puedes conseguir en el siguiente enlace: https://payhip.com/MaryviGonzalez


Por lo tanto, para hablar en general a ustedes, de diferentes edades, diferentes circunstancias y diferentes antecedentes, les daré algunas ideas sobre qué hacer antes y después de terminar la escuela, y por qué es importante ser educado (leer) , incluso si nadie te apoya. Sin embargo, estos consejos también se aplican a cualquier persona en cualquier etapa de sus vidas. Por lo tanto, no se desanimen si leen esto y sienten que esto no se aplicará a usted porque ya no está en la escuela👍. Todavía estoy usando estos consejos para mí y aprendiendo a mejorar mientras sigo adelante.


Además, en mi libro, te daré otros secretos que nadie suele contarte y que tuve que descubrir por mi cuenta. Por ejemplo, ¿cómo elijo mi carrera?👮👲👷 ¿Es igualmente importante elegir algo que amas 💘y algo que te dé dinero?💪💅 ¿Cómo hago conexiones con otras personas? 👥 ¿Cómo preparo mi currículum para ser contratado? ¿Cómo negocio un salario? 👌🙈¿Qué son los impuestos y qué es una hipoteca? 😐😓 Hay tantos elementos confusos que aún son necesarios e importantes como adulto. No se preocupe, en mi libro, explicaré muchas de estas preguntas y conceptos👏😆.


Sin embargo, aquí hay algunos consejos que pueden ayudarlo a comenzar:


1. Primero, elija su tema / campo de interés para estudiar. Hay tantos tipos diferentes de títulos y carreras que puedes elegir hoy en día. Además, averigüe si hay becas que le puedan pagar para estudiar. Sugerencias de sitios web como https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/scholarships  podría ayudarlo a buscar ejemplos de becas a las que podría postularse.

2. Obtenga su título pero reconozca que la escuela no es fácil y no se actualiza a nuestra realidad. La escuela (o el aprendizaje) nunca terminará en nuestra vida. Lea un libro, lea los periódicos, busque noticias en línea, escuche podcasts o audiolibros, etc., y esté al día.

3. La escuela no es para siempre, pero algunas de tus elecciones sí lo son. Sea inteligente y elabore un plan para elegir su carrera, porque desafortunadamente seleccionar algo que no paga lo suficiente al final podría ser una mala idea, especialmente si termina con préstamos estudiantiles. 

4. Investige qué carrera le conviene más. Si todavía estás inscrito en la escuela, tu consejero debería ayudarte a seleccionar una carrera. Después de todo, usted será el que vaya a trabajar todos los días y es importante elegir una carrera que le apasione y contente.

5. ¡ Sé agresivo persiguiendo tus objetivos! Sí, tal como sugieren las animadoras en esos juegos escolares, debes perseguir tus intereses y ser tan persistente como puedas, incluso si NADIE cree en ti. Terminar una carrera no es fácil, pero cuando te sientas cansado, piensa en el futuro y visualízate allí.

6. Voluntario. Si no tiene experiencia laboral, o si ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que trabajó, el voluntariado puede ser una excelente manera de desarrollar su carrera y obtener algo de experiencia.

7. Construya sus conexiones. Por ejemplo, al ofrecerse como voluntario (consejo 6) puede conocer personas y hacer nuevas conexiones. Esto es importante para conseguir un trabajo porque esas conexiones podrían recomendarlo a su futuro empleador.

8. Invierta en acciones y considere otras opciones de ingresos. Esto generalmente suena como un concepto abstracto, pero en realidad no es tan difícil y es para TODOS. no solo los de Wall Street. Y no, no soy un asesor financiero, pero soy financieramente autodidacta. Mi consejo es que primero lea sobre las acciones (hay muchos libros y videos buenos sobre esto), infórmese y luego comience a invertir si tiene dinero de sobra (no invierta su dinero de pagar las cuentas y/o no pida dinero prestado a otra persona para invertir).

 

En conclusión, algunos de estos consejos son un poco obvios, mientras que otros no lo son. "Pero ahora que tienes una idea general de las cosas que puedes hacer para prosperar como adulto, recuerda que cada persona es diferente, así que no te compares con los demás". En cambio, lo que quiero para ti es que te sientas lo suficientemente inspirado como para perseguir tus sueños (lo que suena cliché pero es cierto) 😄. Quizás tus objetivos sean convertirte en médico, pero quizás tus sueños sean ser emprendedor y tener tu negocio de champú casero. Sea lo que sea, estas simples pautas pueden ayudarlo a tener éxito. 👏 ¡Gracias por leer mi blog!

Scientifically Proven Tips for More Effective Studying

Jailenne I. Quiñones-Rodriguez (she|her|ella)  www.jailennequinones.com in collaboration with QMA Studying is part of everyday life and professional preparation. It is also a technique that requires patience, practice, and trial and error. As you think about studying tips that are right for you, in this blog we explore four scientifically proven study t echniques from scientific journals and some of the world’s best resources like Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Cornell University. 1. Use Active recall   This controversial method of studying was a talking point in 2009 when a psychology professor published an article advising students against reading and rereading textbooks which, he argued, merely lead students to think they know the material better than they do since it is right in front of them. Conversely, he recommended students use active recall: closing the book and reciting everything they can remember up to that point to practice long-term memorization. 2. Use Leitner System   Na

How to be successful in grad school? Advice from a woman in STEAM

Jailenne I. Quiñones-Rodriguez (she|her|ella)  www.jailennequinones.com in collaboration with QMA  According to the United States Census , the number of doctoral degree holders has more than doubled to 4.5 million.  Being a graduate student is… well, it depends on whom you ask; the variety of experiences (and opinions about those experiences) ranges wildly. From my experience, being a graduate student is being in constant learning and training. This training not only contributes to the academic aspect but also involves the emotional and mental components. However, it has been an extremely gratifying experience to be able to be a facilitator to train and influence the lives of so many students and adolescents. For this reason, in the last years of my training, I made the decision to promote pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) so that minorities, like me, are represented and have role models to fulfill their goals.  With this in mind, I in

Surviving the Transition From High School to College

Jailenne I. Quiñones-Rodriguez (she|her|ella) www.jailennequinones.com in collaboration with QMA   The transition from high school to college is an exciting and scary time in your life and for most people. This is the biggest adaptation you make in your life up until this point. Before you leave the nest without looking back, think about what you’ll do to help yourself make it a smooth transition. During high school , I had the experience of moving from one private to a public one and starting fresh in a new high school. Theoretically, the teaching system is the same but, the change of environment was quite different.  With that move under my belt, I thought the conversion from high school to college would be an easy one for me. As well, I consider myself to be independent in this aspect. After school, I completed my assignments by myself, I kept my room clean without my parents asking. And I could prepare basic meals and take care of myself.   Before freshman year began, I also con
