How I study:

1. take out some notes 2. place it on table 3. stare 4. go to bed and sleep

JK

don’t do something like that.

seriously.

avoid it like how this octopus did.

That’s not how I actually study (well sometimes). My study schedule depends on my mood; if I want to study I study, if I don’t want study then no. Usually I study for about 5hr-10hr. Below are some ways I use to study:

Making mind maps

whenever i do revision, i automatically make a mind map :’) it’s becoming a habit. i really love doing mind maps and they are actually very helpful to me. it’s easy and v fast to do. also, if i ever going to study last minute, i can always just refer back to them :’)

mind map is love mind map is life

Bullet-point notes

there are some subjects in which i find it very hard to summarise it in a form of mind map (bECAUSE ITS TOO MUCJHHHH). so, doing bullet-point notes is another option.

Practice past year papers

honestly practicing past year is like performing magics; miracle things happen. once i was so tired of making notes and reading i decided to practice past year papers all day long and most of them came out during end of year exam :’) past year paper is my hero.

Reading textbooks and other sources

there are some topics that i always got stuck hence the use of modern technology that has access to all source of knowledge; google. don’t forget the ol’ fashion way: textbooks!!!

although they are usually wordy, it can still help me to understand much better. BBC Bitesize is v reliable though.

i don’t study constantly, instead i procrastinate :’)  but since i’ll be having O level exam soon, i have to prepare v early so i wont make any careless mistakes :’)

you know the saying:

struggle first, then relax.

I’d say, go to university, but go for the right reasons. Education isn’t a gun held to your head: it’s a weapon in your hands. Go not because you’re afraid of not getting a job – that’s not something you can count on anyway – but go because you love to learn, because you’re excited by ideas, because you believe that education is important for its own sake, and when you get there, pay attention, read everything you can get your hands on, cram yourself with words and figures and ideas, because that’s the one thing they can never take away from you.

Laurie Penny for The Independent, “To hell with the Gradgrinds – go to university” (via studyingwithjules)

We often have to explain to young people why study is useful. It’s pointless telling them that it’s for the sake of knowledge, if they don’t care about knowledge. Nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. And so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. It introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. It allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life but also those of others. It creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. And all this is very beautiful.
