HYPLife: January 2021
KALO MINA! WELCOME BACK!
January is all about new beginnings and starting fresh with a new and improved understanding of yourself and your goals.
With this in mind, we invite you to grab your favorite coffee and read up on the inspirational efforts of our featured young professionals, strategic partners and affiliates.
This month’s issue will focus on quality assessments and training resources (and discounts) that are available through Philo4Thought. As you know from our 2020 series, we have teamed up with various affiliate groups to provide you with reliable and high-quality courses, seminars and one-on-one mentoring as well as supplementary academic and career guidance. As always, our goal is to educate, inspire and empower our readers.
Our January Seminar, Resources For Career Success, will provide an outline of essential training and discussion points to help those transitioning into the workforce or from their current job to their next professional opportunity. As always, we are here for you.

Announcing the Three Winning Entries from our Study Skills Challenge Contest!
1st Place: “Set a study schedule with designated times for each topic. It really helps you stay organized.” (A.M. Evolution)
2nd Place: “Tackle the subjects you like from least to most. Make a flashcard or bullet point list of things that are REALLY hard for you to remember and review those at your optimal time. (Like if you’re a morning person, review the that list in the early morning. If you’re more an afternoon or evening person, do it then.)” (Dimitra M.)
3rd Place: “Don’t let slackers and irresponsible people slow down your progress in collaborative study or project settings.”. (Agatha S.)
