Study Tips - Blog Posts

This reminds me that last year I did a essay about the story of fanfiction but I connected it with the esthetic view. It was super philosophy but I had to give objective points of view, also I relationed various works of Shakespeare, Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, and the picture of Dorian gray. Very funny and got a 9 out of 10. And this year I had various works about genshin impact and DC comics.

Whoever tells you that college is not about being a nerd is lying to you.

Grad school is lying to you. You can indulge fixations on obscure topics on your own time. You can sit in a library color-coding notes on articles printed from JSTOR for free. You can argue with dead philosophers in essay format whenever you like. Academia is a state of mind.

Okay, so I just finished my studies, like today was the last assignment we had to give to the teacher, and I'm both, horribly anxious( I don't really know if I'll have to go to June or not) and so relaxed that is weird af, but I'm just going to enjoy the summer vacation, work a lot and travel across my country with my friends.

I'll leave some of the drawings I did for today's assignment.

I know that Harley is super horrible, but se is my favourite antihero mixed with my least favourite technique to use, the pastel.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

This! This is actually so important and we often overlook it and puss ourselves over our limits, which isn't bad overall, but dumb if we aren't careful

Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary. Take the time to prioritize your well-being.

1. Organize your study space

Organizing your study space is really important. Avoid starting to study before that because getting up to get things you don’t have at hand will distract you. I have my own “desk organization list”. Laptop, iPad, Apple Pencil, earphones, water, fruits, my pencil case, my folders, paper, etc.

2.     Make a plan and get control of your calendar

Make a "to do list" and plan everything out. When exactly are your exams?  How many days do you want to study for each subject? Which subject needs more time? Etc., etc.

3.     Mistakes are good

When studying we do make mistakes sometimes. I hate it. You hate it. Yes, it’s awful. But they are GOOD. You learn from them. A short anecdote of my life: If I didn’t make the mistake of dating a complete idiot, I probably would not have learned that bad boys really aren’t that great haha.

4.     Find examples

To really understand something, you should find examples. E. g. if you are learning about some kind of criminal law, look up cases. If you are studying about the business cycle, look up examples of different countries. Is the US in a boom? Or a depression? Has it been in a depression before? What was that like?

5.     Test yourself

Quizz yourself. This is the most important thing when studying something by heart or learning a language. Get your flashcards out of your pocket!  And quizz yourself every single day!

6.     Take regular breaks and sleep for 8 hours

I know, studying is important. But what is even more important is your health. Don’t drain yourself. You got this. Don’t worry! Take a short break after 25 minutes every time. Just a short one. Allow yourself to breath and close your eyes. Your brain needs sleep and breaks to function!

7.     Study before going to sleep

A numerous amount of studies have found out that the brain processes a lot of things while sleeping. This can be very beneficial to us! Study for a few minutes before going to bed or revise what you have studied that day. It will help you remember it better.

8.     Eat good foods

I know you don’t want to hear this… A pizza is quite nice. But is it good for you? Probably not. Food is fuel. But we need good fuel to function properly. Eat nutritious foods and be good to your body. It really needs a healthy diet to maintain your health and stay happy. Also: Your brain needs calories. Don’t starve yourself. Aaaand, remember to drink enough water. I recommend watching “The Game Changers” on Netflix.

9.     Exercise

Working out can be extremely beneficial to you. Not just for your physical strength but also for your mental health and productivity, studies have found. Going for a run or going to the gym can increase your overall well-being! So let’s go! I’m getting ripped tonight, RIP that… umm sorry.

10.  Be kind to yourself

Last but not least, please be kind to yourself. Don’t beat yourself up. Everything is going to be fine. You are not alone. You are loved. You are worthy. Please remember that! I love you.

♡ Study Tips That Actually Work ♡

-------♡♡♡-------

Here are some study tips that ACTUALLY work!!~ :-

• Blurting Method:-

Start by reading the topic and then the text or the information, skim over everything one by one and write down what you remember from what you've just read. Write the important information underlined and the normal information normally so that the underlined ones seem more stood-out.

Repeat this untill you've got the whole topic right.

• Teaching:-

When you understand a topic either perfectly or partly, try skimming over the topic repeatedly untill you're sure that you actually understand the information which you thought you have understood. Now go get a friend (and if you don't have one, go get your mommy or daddy and if they're busy, go get that c.ai bot or your sibling.) and start teaching them what you read and understood. This will improve your memory skills and improve the way you create and form information on your own based on what you have read.

• Hometests:-

If you don't have the patience to sit and learn complex stuff which are just too hard to remember, skim over them and try to understand each sentence, write down each one after each one and skim over through the information one last time before closing the book and writing the whole info without looking. After finishing the test, go get the textbook and correct your own answers. Study more on what you r got wrong and just skim over normally on what you've got right.

• Singing:-

You know what? Screw it. You memorise a whole Lana Del Rey's song just by hearing 4-5 times but can't memorise those History events? Sing. Pick a fav song of yours and connect your information (that you want to memorize) to the song. Like just sing along the tune of your fav song but with the lyrics which are the topic from your lesson that you wish to memorize. Sing and sing, then it'll get easyyyy!!~

So... That's all for this one!! Follow for more Study tips!~
