Many people have said that you must go to college to get the “college experience,”
which would open you up to new opportunities and material that would help fulfill your dreams in life.
Over the years I have recognized this fantasy and replaced it with a more “real” outlook on college.
Deadlines lurking around every corner,
A new assignment posted every hour,
A forgotten project pushed to crunch time.
In short, the college experience has been extremely overwhelming and tough, but there is no reason to fear it because there are many ways in which you can drastically increase your attention ability.
We will look at a particular psychological concept in this paper, that can improve your cognition and daily functioning [1], and help you grasp the most important information for studying. This concept is known as selective attention, and it works as our brain’s built-in thought filtration system.
