Andy Warhol once said, “it does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.” It reflects the process of learning, where hardships are anticipated and slows down the adaptation process. With determination, improvement can be expected. Kolb's theory of learning is important to assist one in adjusting to a new environment. Through my experience to use Kolb’s learning theory to adapt my university life.
There are four different stages in the process of learning.

Secondly, the reflection of the reason that leads to the difference …show more content…

After strategies are planned out, I carried out the plans step by step. I realised after the start of using a planner as the daily routine, time is better managed. Submission of work is less likely to be forgotten. Consistency in revision and pre-reading of the textbook had allowed me to better understand concepts in classes. Also the ability to memorise of work. Furthermore, the efficiency of completion of work had greatly improved. Thus, now having greater confidence in my university life.
By the use of Kolb's learning theory in my adaptation of university life, it leads to a smoother transition. It might be challenging at the beginning of my university life, however, by understanding, identifying and consistently make changes to the wrongs I made had brought a better out of me. Just like the quote by Andy Warhol, learning should not stop, it is a continuous process for me to continue
