50 Reasons Why You Should Study

Need motivation?

To get an education.

To earn a degree. There are barely any jobs that offer positions to people without a degree, or are on the path of obtaining one.

To prove people wrong. That science teacher that said you’ll never make it in the medical field? Make him eat his words.

To prove yourself wrong. Every student has doubts on whether or not they can be good enough in the classroom. Prove yourself wrong, and always be better than you were yesterday.

This is a privilege. Regardless of how much you believe that you HAVE to do this, to some extend you don’t. Realize that you have the privilege of an education even being an option for you.

Take advantage of what you’re capable of. Don’t waste a perfectly intelligent mind.

More money. That degree can do wonderful things to your bank account in the future.

It’s interesting. Studying can get pretty boring, but there are always those topics that spark your curiosity and motivate you to learn more.

It’s attractive. Not everyone cares for someone who is academically gifted, but a partner who is eager to learn makes me eager to take my pants off.

It’s useful. That random fact that you read in a random textbook can stick with you and really end up helping you out one day.

It’s fun to know useless shit sometimes.

To make your parents proud. This is one of the main reasons I study. My parents have always been aware of my capabilities and have pushed me to be academically better every year. They know I have big dreams, and I just want to achieve them so they can know that their child made it.

To make myself proud. This goes along with number four. Knowing that you accomplished something, however small or big the thing may be, is a huge self-esteem booster.

To be independent. There’s nothing quite like knowing that you don’t need someone else’s job, degree, intelligence, or presence to make you successful.

To pursue your passion.

To gain knowledge. Whether its in your field, or a completely different one, being knowledgeable is just downright fun.

People will look up to you. Your siblings, your best friends, and your classmates may see you consistently studying, and it could motivate them to do the same.

To make a name for yourself. “Oh yeah, (insert name here), I know them. Aren’t they like really successful now?”

To become your own role model.

To be able to pay off your student loans.

Because the long nights and excessive coffee will all be worth it. Even if it doesn’t seem like it now.

To exercise your brain. Your brain is just like a muscle, and like the body it needs to be exercised.

To improve your hippocampus. Your hippocamus is responsible for memory, and if you study your memorization will become significantly better.

To not waste time doing useless stuff.

Because stationary is amazing. I could spend a whole paycheck on just pens.

Because notes are actually all so pretty.

To be productive. I used to spend a lot of time on social media, and although I still do, the amount of time I spend studying and getting stuff done has definitely increased.

So classes will be easier.

So tests will be easier.

To impress your professors. Get those letters of recommendation!

So the anxiety of getting a bad grade is sufficiently decreased. I constantly worry about my grades, but studying has helped me not worry so much.

Because coffee exists.

There is no other atmosphere quite like the inside of a library.

So you won’t have to retake a class. Failing a prerequisite for your major really sucks, so maybe try not failing the first time around. This also saves you a lot of money because you won’t have to pay for the class again.

Finals week won’t suck as bad. You’ll be used to studying so when finals week comes around it wont nearly be as stressful as for those students who are now opening a textbook.

You won’t go to as many college parties. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for socializing and having fun, but a lot can go wrong at a college party very quickly. And there’s no better way to prevent that, than just not going to the party cause you’re reading your economics textbook.

You’ll get used to FOMO. Fear of Missing Out. Every teenagers nightmare. Eventually, you’ll get used to the feeling.

You’ll be getting the most out of your college experience. You’re paying for these classes. Might as well try your best to pass.

You’ll get used to not getting enough sleep. So, if you decide to go to grad school you’ll have that department covered.

There’s really good study music out there.

I guarantee there will be at least 5 places on campus, or around you that are perfect for studying, and you’ll want to go there everyday.

You’ll become a pro at writing essays, or lab reports.

You’ll learn fairly quickly that study groups rarely work.

You’ll make a lot of friends that are just as passionate about studying as you are. And you will cherish them.

Beauty and Brains. Don’t you want to fit that description?

Thousands of students before you have done it, so you can too.

You can run a studyblr. Aren’t they the cutest?

You get really good at time management.

Sleep becomes 5x more satisfactory after a night of studying.

Because you want to. There’s no better motivation for studying, than the motivation that comes from within.

وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيۡكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضٰىؕ

And [very soon] your Lord will give you [so much] that you will be satisfied.

[93:5]

One of my favourite suwars from the Qur’an is Surah Dhuha because of how beautiful each lesson is behind every ayah.

This surah was revealed to the Prophet ‎‪ﷺ‬ at a time when he didn’t receive any revelation for 6 months. He was saddened by this and felt that Allah was displeased with him, had forgotten him and didn’t want him as a nabi anymore.

How many of us feel like this when we are in a situation where our world is crumbling apart? Our imaan feels low, we don’t have khushoo in our salah and neither does it have an impact on our hearts. We feel as if Allah doesn’t love us or care about us and it seems as if all our du’as are going unheard. Yet, this beautiful surah was revealed to give hope, solace and comfort to the Prophet ‎‪ﷺ‬ that Allah hasn’t forgotten him and that He is always with him.

Whenever you feel like you’re drowning in the ocean of life and cannot see a way out, look to this surah and find peace, reassurance and renewed faith in Allah that He hasn’t forgotten you either. He will never leave you in the dark by yourself. Know that very soon, Allah will give you so much that your heart will be satisfied ❤️

Appreciate the small things in life, from the air that you breathe, the bed that you sleep in, the food that you eat, the comfort that your family provides, and so much more. Being content with the small things in life makes you grateful for all the blessings that you have. Contentment is the key to happiness.

From Hadith Qudsi:

Allah the Almighty said: I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm’s length, I draw near to him a cubit, and if he draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a fathom. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed. [Hadith Qudsi 15]

عملوا أولادكم أن الحب حلال؛ وأن الحب أخلاق, وأن الأنثى أمانة, وليست للإهانة, الأنثى كرامة, علموهم أن الأنثى وطن والوطن لا يخان

Teach your children that love is halal; love is manners, and that the female is a trust, not to insult; the female is an honour. Teach them that the female is a homeland and a homeland is to always be protected, not betrayed.

When you get married, you become your spouse’s protector. You protect their heart, their soul, their entry to Jannah, and their reputation and vice versa. Make sure to keep your prized possession safe and out of harms way.
