and she’s leading it.
Me: *looks at calenders and sees it's the middle of August*
Me: *Slapping Halloween decorations onto my house* THIS IS HALLOWEEN MOTHER FUCKERS!
Students: hey maybe we should have less standardized tests and more focus on mental health since so many studies have shown—
US public school system:
This semester I’m taking an Astronomy class and damn…
I feel so incredibly small in the vastness of the Universe and all the trillions of stars and galaxies…yet so amazed that God loves me…not even a speck of sand in comparison to the big picture and that’s so earth-shattering to be honest.
alright!!!!!
Alright since you guys seemed to like my last post about how not to die in school, I’m back with part 2. Once again I’d like to remind everyone that all these tips are based on my own personal experience, which means that even if they worked for me, they might not work for you.
Don’t let yourself be a slob:
Please don’t take this as me saying that you have to keep your room/desk/bed immaculately clean and organized at all times. Everyone’s definition of clean is different. What I want you to do is figure out the minimum level of cleanliness you need in order to stay sane and then strive to maintain that level. For some people it’s enough to just make their bed every morning, others are are fine with a messy room as long as their desk is clean, etc. Having organized surroundings will make you feel more organized and put together mentally.
Check your syllabi often:
Instructors usually put important information on their syllabi, like what they will be covering each class, assigned reading, when essays are due, or extra credit options. I encourage you to check your syllabus before each class to make sure you have not missed any assignments and also so that you can prepare ahead of time for any large essays or projects.
Check your emails daily:
This goes with what I said above. Professors will often use email to notify you of changes in the syllabus, canceled classes, etc. Schools use emails to remind students of add/drop deadlines, when payments are due, and for other administrative purposes. The point is, if you do not check your email daily you’re going to miss out on important information. The same goes for any online platforms that your school may use such as canvas, blackboard, or moodle.
Figure out what kind of learner you are:
Everyone has a different learning style; what works for other people may not work for you. Ask yourself questions like: do you learn better when you hear things or read them? Do you need to write things down or say them aloud? Then figure out what studying methods cater to your learning type. The summer before my first year of college I took the time to research different studying methods and I ended up experimenting with a whole bunch before I found what worked for me. I’ve included some resources to get you started below.
quiz to determine your learning style

study tips for different kinds of learners
Keep graded assignments:
This is so important. Don’t throw away graded papers, quizzes, or projects, instead keep them in a safe place until the end of the semester at least. Teachers sometimes make mistakes when calculating final grades, but if this happens to you, you now have proof that they made a mistake.
Take a picture of your class schedule:
In the first few weeks of the semester/school year it can be hard to remember where and at what time all your classes are. I like to take a picture of my class schedule so that if I forget where I’m going I can easily check it on my phone. I do the same thing for any other important information I need to remember, like my student id number for college.
Meet with your advisors at least once a semester:
If you’re in college/university you’ve probably been assigned an advisor (or advisors) to help you figure out what classes you need to take to graduate. Please, please use them. Not only should you be meeting with them consistently to make sure you are on track to graduate, but you can also ask them for help regarding which classes to take, what order to take them in, or what paperwork has to be submitted when.
Wake up at the same time every day:
When you have a class that starts late in the day the temptation is always there to sleep in. However, I would encourage you to try to get up at the same time every day during the school week for two reasons. First, having a regular schedule makes it easier to wake up and second, on the days you have later classes you can use the extra time to get started on homework. A day only has so many hours, use them wisely.
I hope this post helps you, and good luck on all your future studies. If you have an questions/additions feel free to send me an ask or comment on this post.
Some short but useful (and cheap!) books to help with academic writing:
Hazel Hutchison, Essays and Dissertations Made Easy
William Strunk Jr., The Elements of Style
If you’re on the verge of adulthood and you feel like you have no idea what ‘adulting’ is, you might want to check out some of these books. Here’s a list of some daunting “grown up” books that range from self help to finance:
Rich dad poor dad- I had to start with a personal finance book because lets face it, us millennials have no idea where to start with personal finances. This book was written quiet a while ago but its still relevant and easy to read. I read this book when I was 15 and I still re-read it every year to freshen up. It does a great job of introducing you to the relationship you’ll want to have with your money
The life changing magic of tidying up- One of my all time favorites! (it pleases my inner Monica Geller) if you want to go into adulthood having a healthy relationship with the objects you buy, this is the one for you. Marie Kondo has a wealth of knowledge on efficient cleaning/ tidying methods that actually make a huge difference in helping you maintain a clear mind and a happy living space.
The 48 laws of power- ‘nuff said. Learning how powerful people work doesn’t necessarily mean you have to employ these tactics, but it’s important to recognize them when they’re being used on you.
Girl Boss- This one is popular for a reason; if you wanna know to grow a business with little capital on the internet, this is your go to. A great read, regardless if you wanna go into business or not.
5 Love languages- Another popular one. This book will help you understand communication in relationships (not just romantic ones). You can never go wrong with learning how to effectively communicate your love to the people most important to you.
Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life- A book about female sexuality; A super insightful read regardless if you’re sexually active or not.
Freakonomics- Literally one of the most interesting books ever created. If you’re an econ geek like me or just wanna know the hidden economics of how the world works, this will be a good read for you. This is one of those books that you can never unread.
How to win friends and influence people- Similar to the 48 laws of power but with its own twist. This teaches you how to navigate the tricky world of making fiends or networking.
The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger, Healthier, Longer- A sciency approach to health and wellness. A perfect read to get informed about your health.
Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ- Emotional health is just as important physical health. You’re never too young to tend to your emotional well being and this book is just the place to start.
Ok, so that’s my round up of ‘grown up’ books. I hope you enjoyed and that this helped you to realize that books about life and self improvement are not just for adults. You can prepare for the life you want, you don’t have to wait for it.
