Hi!

This is the sign you’ve been looking for, you did not stumble on my post on accident. Please remember that you are a lovely human being who deserves all the good things in life. You deserve roses on your doorsteps, forehead kisses and/or hugs from loved ones, and most importantly, the feeling of knowing that YOU, lovely reader, are going to be just fine. Mistakes happen, wrong choices are made, but that doesn’t change the fact that you need to treat yourself with a little bit of self care. :)

Take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, and let yourself feel whatever you may be feeling. 

You will be okay, everything will eventually work out one way or another. Pain is inevitable, but it does not last forever, suffering is only optional.

Don’t leave without seeing the clouds clear after that rainy day, alright?

Stay.

I hope this helps everyone, it’s not mine. But has been shared to me and I am sharing this with all of you.

studybllog:

1. write down how much you study over time, then write down how you did on the quiz/test. this will help you see the amount of studying is nessecary for you to get a good grade and fully learn the material!!!

2. make your study space smell fresh, preferably of mint. mint helps you focus and stay sharp. other good smells would be lemon, etc.

3. after studying for a long amount of time, go exercise for ~30 min. shower, get dressed, etc then review the info you had just been studying! you should come back fresher, and your brain is able to remember the info even better!

4. don’t always study in comfy/pj clothes. if you study a lot after school or classes, then it’s ok. but if all you plan on doing is studying for that day, for part of the day get dressed up! put on some business casual wear, that’s cute yet functional and do your hair, etc. this will put you in a “get shit done” mode.

5. after studying a unit/chapter, record yourself explaining it, as if to a person whose never heard of it. this helps SO MUCH. one, explaining/teaching helps you learn so much better, and two, you have a little video to review just before the test!!

6. study on the floor. if you have a carpeted area in your home, spread out all study materials, a white board, etc and study! it helps so much because you are comfertable and everything is within reach. do this if you need a break from desk studying.

I decided to share my notes taken from this amazing 1 hour Youtube lecture by Marty Lobdell. i really liked him and his tips, i think they are super effective and cover a lot of situations! i highly recommend it!!!!! wow

but here are the tips and examples Marty mentions, so if you don’t have the time to go through the full hour, you can just scroll down. hope this helps somebody!

• Break your study time in chunks with breaks
  
• most students lose focus at 25 minutes
• it’s a mistake to keep going once you do, since you won’t actually learn anything and you’ll hate every minute of it
• so when you start losing focus take a 5 minute break
  
• do something nice like talking to someone or listening to music
  
• it’s something you practice so with time you’ll be able to work for more time without losing focus
• in the end of the study session have a big reward you look forward to
• Create a study area
  
• environment highly affects the way you act. Bedrooms are for sleeping, kitchens for eating: you’ll feel sleepy in your bedroom and hungry in the kitchen. So if you have a study area, it’ll be easier to start studying and staying focused.
• study in a specific room like an office or school library if you can
  
• if you have to study in your bedroom use a specific object you only use for studying: a lamp/desk. Make it a no-distraction, away from your bed, blank walls area.
•  The more active the learning, the better
  
• 80% active learning 20% passive
  
• ask yourself: is it a concept or a fact?
• learning a concept: understand/grasp/know it
• put it into your own words
• really think about the meaning of it
• relate it with something you already know
  
• teach somebody else. Recapitulate what you’ve learned. Talk out loud even if you don’t have anyone to teach - talk alone. Or at anyone that listens.
• learning a fact: memorize it
  
• use mnemonics
• Acronyms (e.g. colours of the rainbow RoyGBiv – red orange yellow green blue indigo violet)
•  Coined sayings - anything popular or sayings you’ve heard since you were a child.
• Interacting images – work even better if they’re weird. Creative associations make you never forget specific details. (e.g. 1 gram of fat has 9 calories: picture a fat cat – each cat has 9 lives)
• any time 2 things are highly similar but not the same you will get maximal interference!! USE mnemonics!! (e.g. afferent vs efferent neurons: SAME - Sensory Afferent Motor Efferent)
• Be a part of  study groups
  
• others can help you in ways you never thought before
• Recognizing VS remembering
• never confuse the two
• while reviewing a chapter you may recognize concepts but not actually know them
• and when you get to the test you won’t be able to remember any of it
• so quiz yourself without looking at it
• or stop in a page of your notes/textbook and ask yourself what is the concept immediately after and before it
• Get your REM Sleep 
• get ~8 hours so you don’t undo your studying
• this is how your brain stores permanent memories
• without it you’re ability to remember seriously decreases
• most people don’t even begin to take the advice but it’s simple: sleep better. Do better.
• There’s 162 hours in a week. There is time.
• reflect on what you are doing with your time and what activities you have to prioritize to succed as a student
• Taking notes is vital.
  
• right after the class take 5 minutes to expand everything you’ve jotted down, give it depth.
• NOT hours later. You won’t remember half the things you wrote down.
• Ask your questions to class mates and teachers.
  
• teachers want you to succeed and it’s more than ok to ask your question in the teacher’s office or in the next class
• How to use a textbook: SQ3R technique
• Survey Question Read Recite Review
• Survey: skim through the entire chapter in a couple of minutes.
• Raise questions: e.g. what is osmosis? What is this graphic about? What is a prototype?
• it causes you to look for answers and you’ll find the information better once you actually study it after. If you intend to find something you learn it better.
• Start studying for tests early.
• don’t undo yourself. You should only be reviewing the days before the test. don’t leave it till the last minute!

(don’t just scroll through this!!!! really think about these methods and how you can actually implement them so you can benefit from them!!! these actually work but only if you put them into practice boo good luck!)

Study tips

I never really studied in high school. Never really had to. I graduated with a 4.7 GPA. I am just good at papers and tests and if I messed up on a test, there were like 10 other test grades to help recover so it wasn’t a big deal to me.

College is a whole different story. You get 4 tests plus a final and midterm IF YOU’RE LUCKY. When tests make up 40% of your grade, you almost wish for weekly tests so one 65% on a test doesn’t drag you to a 70% in a class where you need a 75% to pass. I have failed tests and passed tests in college. You will fail tests even if you were a straight A honors, AP, and duel enrollment kid in high school like myself.

So here is a list of my advice from trial and error. It includes do’s and don'ts. Please pay careful attention to the don'ts because they were my mistakes that resulted in failure and having to retake classes. Don’t repeat my mistakes.

• I recommend taking notes before the lecture or at least reading the section being discussed. Figure out what confuses you before class starts so you can pay attention during those parts of the lecture and ask questions if needed or talking to the professor after class about what confuses you
• ASK QUESTIONS. If you are not comfortable doing so, ask a friend to ask for you or talk to the professor during office hours. Seriously. You are not paying thousands of dollars to sit there suffering and confused
• GO TO CLASSES. It seems like a no brainer but seriously you will not want to go to class around a month in. Don’t give in. Even if you can just take the tests and pass the tests. I did this. I got an A on every test I took. I never showed up except on test grades. I FAILED. Most classes count participation or attendance as a big part of your grade and some colleges will think you are cheating or something and fail you.
• You won’t be able to completely avoid 8AMs but you should avoid as many as possible. I get up at 6 AM naturally every day and I still struggle to pay attention and know what I’m doing in my 8AM lab. And you will be so tempted to miss a couple classes and then you’ll get behind so fast. Seriously. You miss one day of class and you are like 10 days behind. It’s insane
• Make friends with the people sitting next to you. They will come in handy for when you do miss a day or when you’re confused about something small and don’t want to bother the professor
• Take notes in a way you will want to look back on them and in a way that will make you remember as much of the material as you can at the time. Notes are pointless if you never look back on them
• DO THE HOMEWORK. Even if it’s optional. It will help you understand the material better and a lot of professors are lazy and use their homework questions as test questions
• Do not wait until the day before the test to study. In fact, do little studying the da before the test. Maybe just review a few things, but besides that, don’t really study the day before. You just stress yourself out and don’t really remember anything you studied. Relax on that day or do work for another class.
• Instead, study throughout the week before your test. Focus on topics that you struggle with. Ask questions, go to office hours, practice some concepts.
• Make flashcards of things you need to remember. Make flashcards of vocab or formulas or concepts. And use them to study. Really these help a lot. You can bullshit yourself when you go through a practice test or a checklist or your notes trying to figure out what you know and what you don’t. You can’t bullshit what you know and don’t know with flashcards
• Listen to songs that go over concepts you need to remember on repeat until you want to puke and cut off your ears. Until you can sing it yourself on the spot if someone demanded you to. Need to remember the periodic table? AsapSCIENCE has a great song for that. Need to know the quadratic formula just in case someone holds a gun to your head and makes you recite it because that’s what math teachers seem to think happens? Go on YouTube and find the quadratic formula pop goes the weasel song. My algebra teacher played this EVERY CLASS in 8th grade and I still get it stuck in my head sometimes. Serious, catchy songs like this make memorizing less painful and easier
• Read things related to the subject you are studying that are interesting to you and not your textbook. Sure you may not be tested on some other concepts you find, but it will give you a better understanding of what you are studying
• When picking classes go to ratemyprofessor and find teachers who are willing to work with you. Hard teachers may not be pleasant but they may be worth it if they work with you and are preparing for a future. Do remember that you are paying hundreds if not thousands for each class so you should learn stuff to make you a better candidate for the job you want
• Your life doesn’t revolve around studying so don’t burn yourself out trying to study all the time

This is not a complete list nor is everything here true for everyone. Feel free to add to the list with other tips and advice! I love seeing how other people deal with the torture we call schooling!
