Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

okay, here’s a concept: you’ve breezed through your classes until this point. maybe you’ve even been a horrible slacker like me. but this class is hard, or you’re making the transition from high school to college. and suddenly, you find yourself having to study without ever having done it before. you have no idea where to start. do people just stare down at their books until the knowledge leaks by osmosis? well, here’s a few tips to figure out how to start studying, by someone who like, just figured out how to start studying and is Actually Doing Okay. thanks, college. 

keep up with your work. honestly, this is half the battle. pay attention in your classes, do your homework, read what you’re supposed to read, and keep trying to figure out the best way to study while your classes are going on and not right before an exam. 

if you were able to slack off and still get good grades and now you realize you can’t, tackling this is probably the first thing you should do. review your work on the day of the class. it’ll help you know the material better with less work. 

figure out what kind of learner you are! not everyone learns the same way, so you gotta find the most effective kinds of learning that work for you. you could be an auditory, visual, kinesthetic learner, or even a combination of styles! here is a resource for how to study with specific learning styles. here is another! 

try different ways to study. and keep an open mind - even if something works, don’t be afraid to try other ways, because they might work better. here are some:

flashcards (quizlet is a good resource for this!) 

edutainment (youtube videos and documentaries)

podcasts

rewriting notes

highlighting notes and color-coding

rereading the textbook

read studyblr tips. obvious, but there are lots of people who know what they’re doing, so if you’re lost, here’s a few, but there are so many more. also, track the tag, because there are always more.

study 101 by @studyign

manage your time. you don’t have to make a schedule and micromanage every minute of your day, but set a time to start studying and stick to it, because staring at your books wishing that you could absorb material by osmosis is not studying, as much as we all wish it was. also, use the pomodoro method. you might need to adjust it for your personal needs, but it’s a good method. 

focus as best as you can. put your phone away, or turn it off. use website-blocking apps and block every single website you can think of. clean your room before you start studying. prepare study snacks if you think you’ll need them. you’ll be more motivated to study if you have as few distractions around you as possible. and don’t multitask because it lowers the effectiveness of your studying. 

figure out where you study best. the library’s always a good spot to study! or maybe you work better at home, in a coffeeshop, or in the food court (i’ve seen it). do you study better alone, or is a study group more effective for you? having an environment that keeps you focused and productive is also very key to studying. 

use school resources. they’re here to help you learn. talk to your instructors after class, go to their office hours, e-mail them. go to seminars that offer tips on how to learn best. if your school has tutors and review classes, go to them. for college - there might be writing centers where people edit your papers. mine has academic advisors, where you meet with someone weekly and they help you stay organized and learn how to study. your school probably has tons of resources, and if you are in college, you’re paying for it so you may as well use every resource you can. 

ask people who have experience studying the subject you’re studying. a lot of the studyblr community is sciences- and language-oriented, so if you’re studying english literature, it might be a struggle to figure out how to study literature best when all the tips are math tips. ask someone, because they’ll probably be happy to help :]

pulling all-nighters is not as effective as you might think. sleep is good! sleep makes your brain work. so unless you have a test or paper due the next morning and you haven’t studied at all, if it’s late, go to bed. you’ll thank yourself for it the next morning.

try to find interest in the material. you’re probably going to find it easier to study if you’re at least a little bit interested in it. and yeah, it might be hard, but you’re going to want to do anything but study if you hate what you’re studying. 

learn from your mistakes. if you don’t get the desired grade, figure out what you did that you can improve on. did you spend more time staring at your books and wishing you could absorb everything by osmosis instead of actually studying? (this joke is getting stale i am so sorry) if you did study, how effective was it? and remember, a bad grade isn’t the end of the world, even if it feels like it is. 

learning to study takes time. you’re not going to figure everything out in a month. heck, you might not even figure everything out in time for your final exam. but learning is a life-long thing and you always have second and third chances! go forth, friend! :]

sometimes i wonder why i am kind to people who don’t deserve it? until i remember what it means to be human, what it feels like to be human. i cannot – and will not – hurt people just because i can.
