This module explores the vital role new communities play in fostering success and mental health, and provide tools for finding new communities during the transition from military service to college. Crucially, we redefine "imposter syndrome" as "imposter phenomenon," offering strategies to leverage self-doubt into motivation and growth.

In this module, we challenge conventional ideas about productivity, time management, and the myth of multitasking. Transitioning from the military's strict command structure to the self-directed environment of college requires mastering new skills in attention and time management. We explore why equating productivity with self-worth is dangerous, discuss the concept of "pseudo-working," and introduce Newport's Law (focus intensity x time).

This module considers two additional essential skills for success in college: preparing for exams and writing essays. Learn how to become exam ready by setting yourself up for success well before the exam date. And explore new ways of thinking about essay writing, and how it is tightly connected to the note-taking and analytical reading skills discussed in the previous module.

In this module, we help nontraditional students become informed consumers of higher education by defining your personal "why," determining what to study, and navigating financing options like the GI Bill.
