GOOD STUDYING VS BAD STUDYING
GOOD STUDYING
Use recall. When you look at a passage and try to study it, Ā look away and recall the main ideas. Try recalling concepts when you are walking to class or in a different room from where you originally learned it. An ability to recallāto generate the ideas from inside yourselfāis one of the key indicators of good learning.
Test yourself. On everything. All the time. Flashcards are your best friend. Use quizlet if you donāt want to hand-make flashcards. Get somebody to test you on your notes.
Space your repetition. Spread out your learning in any subject a little every day, just like an athlete. Donāt sit and study one subject for 2 hours, do half an hour every day.
Take breaks. It is common to be unable to solve problems or figure out concepts in math or science the first time you encounter them. This is why a little study every day is much better than a lot of studying all at once. When you get frustrated, take a break so that another part of your mind can take over and work in the background. You need breaks in order for your brain to retain the information. Try the Pomodoro method if you have trouble timing breaks!
Use simple analogies. Whenever you are struggling with a concept, think to yourself, How can I explain this so that a ten-year-old could understand it? Using an analogy really helps. Say it out loud, like youāre teaching it, whether itās to an imaginary class or your sister who couldnāt care less. Ā The additional effort of teaching out loud allows you to more deeply encode.
Focus. Turn off your phone / iPad / any distractions and clear your desk of everything you do not need. Use apps like Forest if you canāt stay off them!
Do the hardest thing earliest in the day, when youāre wide awake and less likely to push it aside.
BAD STUDYING
Avoid these techniquesāthey can waste your time even while they fool you into thinking youāre learning!
Passive rereadingāsitting passively and running your eyes back over a page. This is a waste of time, frankly, and doesnāt do anything to help information pass into your brain without recall.
Over-highlighting. Colouring a passage of text in highlighter isnāt helpful at all. Itās good for flagging up key points to trigger concepts and information, but make sure what you highlight goes in.
Waiting until the last minute to study. DONāT CRAM!!!
Doing what you know. This isnāt studying! This is like learning how to juggle but only throwing one ball.Ā
Neglecting the textbook. Would you dive into a pool before you knew how to swim? The textbook is your swimming instructorāit guides you toward the answers.Ā
Not asking your teachers for help. They are used to lost students coming in for guidanceāitās their job to help you.Ā
Not getting enough sleep. Your brain practices and repeats whatever you put in mind before you go to sleep, as well as retaining information and repairing itself. Prolonged fatigue allows toxins to build up in the brain that disrupts the neural connections you need to think quickly and well.Ā
ur twenties are weird. i have the priorities of a kindergartener again. i donāt know what in the hell is going on EVER. i like colors. i like soup. i want to take a nap

Context: In 1977, ExxonĀ researchers gave executives a definitive report that burning fossil fuels was causing climate change. Exxon went on to spend at least $30 million funding public skepticism about climate change and lobbying against federal action.Ā
More than half of the worldās industrial carbon emissions have been produced since 1977.Ā ExxonMobilās 2018 earnings were $20.8 billion.

This is literally illegal, and there have been teachers fired over this
me thinking about shakespeare normally: mercutio was gay
me thinking about shakespeare at 3 am: romeo and juliet is underrated as a story. why? because everyone treats it as a love story when they should be treating it as a commentary on how children are too afraid to come to their parents with a problem or even voice their opinions on things without fear of facing repercussions. juliet didnāt want to marry paris, some old guy she didnāt know. so OF COURSE she was going to choose romeo, some hot young thing that talked nice and looked nicer and probably made her feel special. she had had at least a conversation with the guy. but no. she canāt tell her father that she doesnāt want to marry and would rather try to get to know that nice montague boy that was chatting her up while crashing her party. but of course she canāt. both of because societal expectations and because of the whole blood feud. and then thereās romeo. we all call him an emo fuck but the fact remains that it is highly hinted that he had depression and while finding someoneĀ āto loveā doesnāt automatically fix that in a person, himĀ ālovingā juliet definitely did seem to improve his mood while his parents just brushed him off. and in the end of the story, theyād both rather kill themselves then tell their parents that theyāre going to be disappointing them by telling them who theyĀ āloveā and thatās just fucked up. these were teenagers. and while this may have not been old billy shakesā original message, it stands that this interpretation could benefit being taught to a lot of students and even some parents.Ā
me thinking about shakespeare at 3:30 am: also know what was fucked up? mercutio and tybalt died without even knowing what they were dying for. they literally say in the beginning of the play that no one remembers why the blood feud started. and mercutio wasnāt even an capulet or montague. this wasnāt his fight. but he died anyways, under romeoās arm, by tybaltās hand. sure, they were fighting because tybalt was pissed about romeo seeing juliet and shit, but mercutio didnāt know that. he thought tybalt was just starting shit just to start shit. he didnāt know what he was dying for.Ā āa plague on both your housesā indeed. and then tybalt. fucking firey tybalt. like i said before, no one knows why the blood feud started. he essentially just died because his family hates another guyās family probably over something like the 13th century equivalent of a sports rivalry. thatās so fucked up. while i donāt remember what their exact ages were, iām pretty sure they were teenagers too. what the fuck.
me thinking about shakespeare at 3:35 am: and then benevolio. oh god benevolio. what even happened to him??? first, he watches this guy who was always a jackass to him but heās probably known all his life get killed, then his (boy)friend dies all because of something his cousin does, and then his cousin is exiled/flees before heās exiled. heās then all alone for like the rest of the play, until he assuredly walks into the mausoleum at the end of the play and sees his cousin dead on the ground with some girl heās maybe seen twice in his life dead on top of him. what the fuck. what the actual fuck. poor benevolio just lost his two best friends and now heās all alone. and you know they never even say if heās in the play for the rest of the thing. you just assume he is. for all we know he couldāve skipped town, or killed himself as well, or died in a duel, or anything. i always headcanoned him as the youngest of the group. and like, that just makes it worse. poor benevolio, the guy that was left all alone at the end of the play with all his friends and acquaintances dead.Ā āfor never was a story of more woe / than that of juliet and her romeoā???? bullshit. for never was a story of more woe than that of our poor fucking benevolio.Ā
me thinking about Shakespeare at anytime: There is a character in Midsummer Nightās Dream called Bottom

when the times get rough and I lose sight of the goal i just. rereadĀ āthe orangeā by wendy cope again & remember. thatās where Iām going folks. sooner or later, whatever it takes.
At lunchtime I bought a huge orangeā The size of it made us all laugh. I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Daveā They got quarters and I had a half.
And that orange, it made me so happy, As ordinary things often do Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park. This is peace and contentment. Itās new.
The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all the jobs on my list And enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. Iām glad I exist.
