Meet with a campus counselor to learn how to change any cognitive distortions that are holding you back from reaching your true potential to become a more productive, successful, and satisfied student and person.
Some students inadvertently acquire habits that distort the way they think about, see academics, or their potential for academic success. These are called cognitive, or thinking, patterns. When these patterns inhibit and frustrate success in college, they are called cognitive distortions. Such patterns of thinking can limit college success, result in low self-esteem and poor self-confidence, lead to a loss of direction, and facilitate academic performance below potential. The good news is that thinking patterns that sabotage academic success can be replaced, resulting in changes in the way students feel about themselves and their potential to perform well in college.
