"And you ask yourself: Where are your dreams? And you shake your head and say: How quickly do the years fly by! And again you ask yourself: What have you done with your years? Where have you buried your best days? Did you live or not?"
It has been a long week, a disappointing series of days. Yet... there is more incoming. Staying on to see the storm through.

The original academic validation role model
Can you make a guide on Hermione Granger? How to study like her
How to study like Hermione Granger
Hermione is one the original academic it girls. You can't not admire her tenacity and her ambition. She knows how intelligent she is and she always works hard, regardless of what those around her are doing. Here's a guide on how you can study like her!
Read more. Hermione always has her head in a book, she's renowned throughout the series for the amount she reads and her love of books. To help you better understand your subjects start reading around them and also reading a wider variety of literature in order to expand your vocabulary and understanding of the world around you.
Stay organised and on top of your schoolwork. Hermione planned months in advance and created study guides for her exam preparation. Whether you are also making study guides, consolidating your notes or making new study resources make sure you stay organised and prepared for exams or upcoming tests.
Participate and pay attention in class. While Hermione is often made fun of for also being so enthusiastic in class, it always pays of. Try engaging more in your class, answering questions and engaging in discussions. It will help you remember the information and learn more as you consolidate or learn new facts.
Try teaching others. Hermione always helps out her friends and you can do the same! This is a great way to help learn and highlight important concepts, develop your understanding and discover areas which you may be struggling with.
Actually want to study and have a clear reason for doing so. The reason Hermione does so well in school is because of how passionate and invested she is in her learning. By determining why you actually want to study and what is motivating you, you'll have much more energy and enthusiasm to study.
Find or create a cozy environment to study in. Whether you make your favourite drink or light a candle, make sure your study space a nice area to be in and a place that is soothing and allows you to properly focus.
Join clubs or groups with a similar philosophy as yours. Hermione was incredibly passionate and wanted to extend her knowledge and help to the world around her and so should you. Joining a club/group can help you improve your communication skills, meet people and give you something to discuss in interviews etc. Try and find something to join (or even start!) that you are incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about.
If you find yourself struggling with work or understanding a topic, try and work it out yourself first in order to help you consolidate your knowledge and get better at working independently. Don't be afraid of turning to teachers or classmates but try and work it out independently first.
Do all your homework as soon as you can, don't leave it till last minute as you'll only end up rushing it or it being worse than if you had done it with time to spare. Plus getting work done early gives you the chance to relax and do things with friends or family! Hermione always did her work as soon as she possibly could and that helped her to stay on top of her classes and work.
Be more curious! When something interests you in class or your studies actually in-depth research it. That way you'll have more than a surface level understanding of the topic and may even become more interested in your studies! Hermione loved learning everything she could about her subjects and so should you.
Read and learn ahead of your current class work to help you get ahead and better understand the subject material. Just like Hermione read all of her textbooks before her school year even started, so can you in order to get ahead.
Don't overload your schedule and try and avoid burnout. As Hermione shows, it's important to have a school-life balance. Instead of overwhelming yourself remember to take breaks from studying, hang out with friends or family and have some downtime. Not only is it better for your mental health but it will also help you do better in your studies long-term.
Thank you for reading and I hope you find this helpful! All my love, mj.

Trans lives and trans rights deserve to be protected and trans identities are completely valid. If you are able please consider donating to some of these charities helping to support trans people and fight back against transphobia: Donate to The Marsha P. Johnson Institute - The Marsha P. Johnson Institute (flipcause.com) (black centric trans charity), SRLP (Sylvia Rivera Law Project) (offers legal, social and health services to the trans community) and About - Trans Lifeline (grassroots hotline which offers support to the trans community). There are so many wonderful trans centric charities I really recommend researching and these are just a few!)
