How do you learn best?
I learn the best by taking notes while the teacher is talking because writing out the main points really helps me to fully understand the topic.

There are a lot of things I like to do when I am trying to come up with new ideas. The first thing that I do is talk to my friends or my peers. I like to tell them my ideas and listen to theirs, which really helps me to think about something from a different perspective. The next thing that helps me is to take a short break from what I am doing and try to change my environment, by moving to a different room or even by going outside.

The last thing I like to do to boost my mood is to spend some time outside in the sun and take my dog for a walk.
