Problem: Article: This will allow you to make associations between what you already know and what you're learning. When test day comes, these associations will help you remember the material better.  Be sure to ask yourself if you understand the material, however. If you don't understand, then ask yourself more questions about how it fits into what you are learning. Ask yourself, "How does this relate to something I already know?" or "Does it relate to other data, observations, stories or subjects?" Write the new concept in the middle of your notes and circle it. Next, draw lines straight out from the circle to create connections to related concepts; these are your secondary concepts. Circle the secondary concepts and create connections to tertiary concepts. Keep doing this until your run out of associations. Metaphors will help you connect seemingly different ideas and concepts to each other. This is a powerful way to remember complex ideas. If you're learning about economic cycles, try relating it to a wave as it rises and falls. As a wave slowly forms, reaches a peak and then crashes, so does the economy.
Summary: Ask yourself questions as you take notes in class and learn new concepts. Draw a concept web illustrate their relationships to each other. Use metaphors to connect unlike concepts.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you’re clingy, you might want to get everything about your feelings or your life off your chest right away because you fear that the person you feel very clingy toward might abandon you at any moment.  For instance, you might tell someone on a second or third date that you love them and want to marry them.  You might also reveal extremely intimate details about your past, rather than about your feelings.  For instance, you might share with a coworker you just met that your mother died when you were six.  These kind of personal details are usually not appropriate for someone you are not very familiar with. Before revealing personal feelings or details, think about how you would respond to a given comment if you heard it from the person you are talking to.  If you think it might be odd, do not share too much. Clingy people will want to make the “right” decision – that is, the decision which they believe will please and win the affections of the person they are clinging to.  If you find yourself waiting to decide something as important as where to go to university or as mundane as what to eat for lunch before consulting the friend or partner you’re clinging to, you are being too clingy. Clingy people attach themselves strongly to one person and are afraid of losing them.  Interrogate your feelings about the person you suspect you may be too clingy with.  Do you think about them excessively while they are not around?  Do you count the minutes until you can see them again?  Do you try to forestall their leaving so that you can have them all to yourself?  These are signs that you have separation anxiety, the fear inspired by the idea that someone will leave you. If you are constantly texting, calling, or visiting a certain person, you are probably too clingy and fear separation.
Summary:
Recognize when you reveal too much too soon. Identify an inability to make decisions. Search your feelings for fear of separation from someone.
