How i make my study guides
I have my first university exam on Monday, so I decided to try my hand and make my own revision guide a few days ago and so far it has really helped guide my revision. Here is how I created my own study guide:
Gather all your notes. All your lecture notes, tutorial notes and textbook notes. Sort them into to piles such as topic piles/weekly piles or chapter piles – whatever makes sense for you, just make sure all the stuff that is related and on the same topic is together.
Look at how many pages you have and work out how many pages you want to compile it down to. I tired to keep mine to 1 – 2 pages per topic or at least half the amount of pages i began with, so that meant i had to fit my information into about 8 pages at most.
Sort through the information and work out the important stuff. You can highlight the information, cross out the unnecessary information or take note of the sub topics you want to have. Just make sure the key points of each topic/sub heading is there.
Heavily summarise the information! This is the most important thing! You need to be able to take the paragraph or 10 dot points and make it into a 1 - 3 sentences or 2 - 5 dot points. This process is under the ‘active learning’ category as you are actively thinking about the subject and summarising it into your own condense set of words. So technically you are studying the information while making the guide!
Organise the information and make it look nice. Work out what sub headings you want, if you want any diagrams to go with the information or if you want the information to be in a table form. Input your summarised information into to the format you have decided and make sure it looks nice and makes sense to you, so you will be motivated to look over the information.
Print it out and use it! There’s no point spending 6 hours like I did to make a study guide if you are going to use it.
Here are some pictures of my study guide. I was able to condense my information from 16+ pages (I already summaries my notes each week, let me know if you want to see how I take notes : ) ) down to 8.

those different essays that keep popping up tips
the “why you wanna come here” essay
mention a department you really like, a professor you really like, a lab you really like, a program you really like
sometimes aspects of the school like an extensive research program, an internship program, an interesting major, a school philosophy will stand out (for instance, one school i applied to prided itself on balancing the humanities with STEM, which was a big focus in my essay)
talk about your experience when you visited or how you heard about the school and all the good things
any articles you read on it will help, basically just research a lot, talk about your interview (if applicable), talk about their programs and unique points
it wouldn’t be a bad idea to talk about your interests (briefly) and why that school is uniquely good for you
the “what do you want to study” essay
again, mention a field, or if undecided, then talk about diverse interests
if you have a specific field, talk about your experiences (like for engineering, i talked about robotics and my internship and how that shaped my career path)
overcoming challenges, discovering new interests, creating connections with others, and becoming a leader are all good things to mention here if possible
if you don’t know what to study, thats totally ok, but talk about your different interests, maybe how you plan to proceed with finding a specific course of study, or talk about a program you’re interested in at the school
the “challenge” essay
this essay is a challenge
you really gotta come up with something pretty good or at least try to; try to find something that involves being a leader and taking action/responsibility or maybe going out of your comfort zone.
tell it like a story!! talk about the problem then how you resolved it (ideally it should be a challenge you resolved?? it could also be one that went unresolved but you have to be v careful in that case)
tl;dr show off your good aspects like leadership, keeping calm, trustworthiness, etc etc etc
the “talk about something you haven’t talked about essay
i usually used this one for any topic i wanted to talk about but didnt get the chance to
basically waht i mean is i had three main topics i wanted to hit in every application: my internship, my sport, my music. If i didn’t get a chance to talk about one through an essay, I’d use my talk about whatever essay to talk about it.
why is this double spaced
don’t waste this!!! this is a pretty good spot to show how you’re unique and tell a very “you” story to distinguish yourself from all the other applicants.
but also you can def use like another essay you wrote for another prompt for another school here if you find it appropriate -always make sure to reuse topics and ideas when possible~~
anyways if you guys have any questions about essays or in general, hmu–im p stressed about my own essay anyways :/
There are three rules.
1. If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it.
2. If you do not ask, the answer will always be no.
3. If you do not step forward, you will remain in the same place.

DISCLAIMER: This post is not sponsored by any company. I’ve just found some websites and information that can be used for students. Please research them thoroughly before buying/applying/signing up to anything please! If you use something that is great, please let me know so I can add it to the list!
MYUNIDAYS - Verify your student status and get discounts to lots of shops and restaurants, as well as offers and deals, including half price Apple Music student account, and 10% Asos discount. UNIDAYS can also be used in many different countries including the UK and the US. They also have an app which you can be useful when using certain discounts in shops and restaurants (some can only be used online and vice versa).
NUS - Similar to UNIDAYS, but you have to pay for an NUS card/membership. They have some pretty good discounts for various things. Again, there is an NUS app.
SAVE THE STUDENT - everything you want to know about student life, summed up in one website! Information on student finance, budgeting and saving money. Great for if you’re living at university.
STUDENT BEANS - Similar to UNIDAYS and NUS. Again, lots of discounts and you can register free. They also advertise jobs, work experience, etc.
THE STUDENT ROOM - Forums for students, which also offers lots of advice on various topics such as student finance and applying to university.
THIS IS MONEY - Some helpful student budgeting tips.
BRIGHT KNOWLEDGE - Lots of information about different subjects and careers.
SORTED FOOD - Cheap but delicious recipe ideas!
SAVE THE GRADUATE - Helpful website for graduate students, with information about jobs and further study.
BBC GOOD FOOD - More cheap recipe ideas for students.
APPLE EDUCATION - Buy Apple products using your student information.
SUPER COOK - Find recipes using what ever you have in your cupboard!
STUDENT PRICE CARD - For students in Canada, you can get discounts (10 - 15% usually) on shops, when you pay for a card/membership.
BUDGET BYTES - Delicious recipes on a budget!
This is not a complete list, but I’ll try to add to it through out the year!
Reblogging for this years university students
GREGGS - download their app and apparently you can get a free meal for students. MCDONALDS - download the myunidays app and show your ID to get various free food! I think this also includes the purchase of a meal.
Student Edge is really good too to get discounts! You can download the app or get the card.
Hi guys,
I apologize for my long absence but I have been so extremely busy ever since I started my Practical Legal Training, it’s the worst thing ever… I used to think getting a law degree was difficult but this stuff is on a different level ⚖️
At the moment I’m preparing for Trial Advocacy which is totally nerve wrecking but I finally feel like I’m getting a hang of it 🎉
I’m a bit more active over on my Instagram, so if you want to follow along on this crazy law journey with me, follow me on Instagram: charlenevenice
Sending you guys a lot of positive study vibes, have a great and productive day my loves 💕
a small guide on how i battle my essays! (click on an image to view it clearer)
(keep in mind: i’m an english major so a majority of my essays are literature-focused!)
these are just some of the methods i want to share that work for me when i write my innumerable amount of essays! i’m definitely a huge planner so it’s no secret that i spend a lot of time on an essay. if you’re a deadline fighter, these tips might not necessarily be helpful (especially the handwriting one). but i hope this gives you an insight on how i write my essays! 🌈
earth + life science notes were my fave to write tbh (mainly because i got to draw a lot LOL)
! my studygram !
this is dedicated to anyone & everyone who is having a bad day: you are a blessing!! don’t ever let anybody bring you down!! 🌟 i genuinely hope these spreads warm your heart!!
