Study Tips

During high school and first semester of college, I learned the hard way. I usually study a day before a test, it doesn't work well for me. I would get good grade on a test but after taking it, I tend to forget everything I learned. In college, I learned many study tips that helped me. As a freshman in college, I get A LOT of online homework, projects, and lab reports to do almost every week. This is why I need to manage my time according to get everything done on time.

  • study for an hour and then take a break 
  • get good night sleep 
  • DO NOT CRAM EVERYTHING because you won't learn anything 
  • manage your time wisely because time is precious and you can't get it back 
  • relax (breathe) 
  • as a college student, a good tip is to write in your textbook because textbooks are so expensive and to get out the most of it is to use the textbooks so you won't have to waste your money.
  • know your learning style

Take the time to think

Whenever you're feeling tired or too much to handle stuffs just sit down for a couple of minutes and look around your surrounding. Don't think about anything, just look at the sky, people walking, etc.
Whenever I feel stress from homework and family issues, I just sit down anywhere and look at the sky or my surrounding. I feel relieved for that moment.  You should try it out someday, I promise it will work. Don't over think anything, just relax because you will never know what will happen next. BE HAPPY!
