i can’t emphasise how much these cheat sheets have helped me for my chemistry exam!! i’ve done both chemistry papers now and paper 1 wasn’t too bad but i don’t think i did as well as i wanted in paper 2 but i’m staying positive and still hoping i can get my target grade!!! 

only one exam left after half term which is biology paper 2 so i have this whole week to revise for that one paper although i am spending the first few days of this half term just relaxing and not studying !!

update: since so many of you have messaged me about these, i decided to upload them (i never upload my notes so this is a first)

*~*~*~STUDY BREAK SNACKS~*~*~* (art by maria-putri ✨) 

apple chips - preheat oven to 225 F - slice apples as thin as possible - sprinkle some cinnamon/cinnamon sugar on the apples (optional) - (works best on a baking rack) place on tray and put in over for 1-2 hrs (you might need to cook them for longer depending on the thickness of your chips!)

sweet crispy roasted chickpeas - preheat oven to 375 F - rinse and drain chickpeas - place chickpeas on baking tray and bake for about 45min - 1 hr - in a bowl, mix olive oil, honey, and cinnamon sugar (you can eyeball the measurements and change it to your personal preference) - once the chickpeas are dry, put them into the bowl that holds the sweet sauce and mix it all in.  - once you are done coating the chickpeas, place them back in the oven for 10 mins

savory crispy roasted chickpeas - follow the sweet crispy roasted chickpeas but replace the sauce with olive oil, sriracha, and garlic powder

frozen yogurt berries - take a spoon and dump your yogurt yogurt into your mold (you can use an ice tray) - add berries into your mold (i like blueberries, raspberries, and black raspberries) - freeze!

apple sandwiches - core your green apple and red apple (it’s okay if you only have one kind) - cut the apples! semi-thick so the slices are durable - add nutella (or peanut butter!) on one side of the apple slice - sprinkle on some oats on top of the spread - sandwich them together!

avocado toast - toast your choice of bread - in a bowl mush your avocado - once the toast is finishes, spread your mushed avocado on the bread - squeeze a bit of lemon onto the toast + avocado and sprinkle chili and pepper!

ants on celery - take celery sticks and spread peanut butter on the inside - place raisins (or choco chips!) on top of the peanut butter spread

banana bee smoothie - 1 cup of milk (low fat) - 1 cup of non-fat greek yogurt - tbsp of honey (OR MORE) - 1 ripe banana - handful of blueberries - pinch of cinnamon! - BLEND

sweet apple banana smoothie (my fav ✨) - 1 sliced apple (preferably any sweet apple) - 1 ripe banana - a tbsp honey - 1 cup of low fat milk - a pinch of cinnamon sugar - BLEND

messy simple fruit bowl - 1 sliced ripe banana - a handful of blueberries - place fruits into a bowl and drizzle with honey on top o’fruity rice cakes! - spread peanut butter onto ricecake - place sliced fruit on top (you can use bananas, strawberries, blueberries, etc) - drizzle with honey (optional)

How to Study Like a Harvard Student

Taken from Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, daughter of the Tiger Mother

Preliminary Steps 1. Choose classes that interest you. That way studying doesn’t feel like slave labor. If you don’t want to learn, then I can’t help you. 2. Make some friends. See steps 12, 13, 23, 24. General Principles 3. Study less, but study better. 4. Avoid Autopilot Brain at all costs. 5. Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your time. 6. Write it down. 7. Suck it up, buckle down, get it done. Plan of Attack Phase I: Class 8. Show up. Everything will make a lot more sense that way, and you will save yourself a lot of time in the long run. 9. Take notes by hand. I don’t know the science behind it, but doing anything by hand is a way of carving it into your memory. Also, if you get bored you will doodle, which is still a thousand times better than ending up on stumbleupon or something. Phase II: Study Time 10. Get out of the library. The sheer fact of being in a library doesn’t fill you with knowledge. Eight hours of Facebooking in the library is still eight hours of Facebooking. Also, people who bring food and blankets to the library and just stay there during finals week start to smell weird. Go home and bathe. You can quiz yourself while you wash your hair. 11. Do a little every day, but don’t let it be your whole day. “This afternoon, I will read a chapter of something and do half a problem set. Then, I will watch an episode of South Park and go to the gym” ALWAYS BEATS “Starting right now, I am going to read as much as I possibly can…oh wow, now it’s midnight, I’m on page five, and my room reeks of ramen and dysfunction.” 12. Give yourself incentive. There’s nothing worse than a gaping abyss of study time. If you know you’re going out in six hours, you’re more likely to get something done. 13. Allow friends to confiscate your phone when they catch you playing Angry Birds. Oh and if you think you need a break, you probably don’t. Phase III: Assignments 14. Stop highlighting. Underlining is supposed to keep you focused, but it’s actually a one-way ticket to Autopilot Brain. You zone out, look down, and suddenly you have five pages of neon green that you don’t remember reading. Write notes in the margins instead. 15. Do all your own work. You get nothing out of copying a problem set. It’s also shady. 16. Read as much as you can. No way around it. Stop trying to cheat with Sparknotes. 17. Be a smart reader, not a robot (lol). Ask yourself: What is the author trying to prove? What is the logical progression of the argument? You can usually answer these questions by reading the introduction and conclusion of every chapter. Then, pick any two examples/anecdotes and commit them to memory (write them down). They will help you reconstruct the author’s argument later on. 18. Don’t read everything, but understand everything that you read. Better to have a deep understanding of a limited amount of material, than to have a vague understanding of an entire course. Once again: Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your time. 19. Bullet points. For essays, summarizing, everything. Phase IV: Reading Period (Review Week) 20. Once again: do not move into the library. Eat, sleep, and bathe. 21. If you don’t understand it, it will definitely be on the exam. Solution: textbooks; the internet. 22. Do all the practice problems. This one is totally tiger mom. 23. People are often contemptuous of rote learning. Newsflash: even at great intellectual bastions like Harvard, you will be required to memorize formulas, names and dates. To memorize effectively: stop reading your list over and over again. It doesn’t work. Say it out loud, write it down. Remember how you made friends? Have them quiz you, then return the favor. 24. Again with the friends: ask them to listen while you explain a difficult concept to them. This forces you to articulate your understanding. Remember, vague is bad. 25. Go for the big picture. Try to figure out where a specific concept fits into the course as a whole. This will help you tap into Big Themes – every class has Big Themes – which will streamline what you need to know. You can learn a million facts, but until you understand how they fit together, you’re missing the point. Phase V: Exam Day 26. Crush exam. Get A.
