Health
You should be drinking at least 2 liters of water per day to keep your body hydrated and properly working! Buy a reusable bottle of water and keep it next to you when studying or even on your nightstand, so you can drink as soon as you wake up. There are plenty of apps that help those who forget to drink (x, x, x). If the problem is that you don’t like the taste of water, flavor it with strawberries, blueberries, lemon or even some herbs.
Don’t skip meals! Food is so important to you. Give your body the vitamins and energy it needs. Remember to stay healthy. Keep healthy and delicious snacks in the fridge, cook some delicious food and make your body happy. Here are some teas and coffee drinks.
Get fresh air and exercise. This helps with mental alertness, concentration, an efficient memory and a positive mood.

Need some shops and materials recs?
What about a stationery crash course on pens?
Planning
Keeping everything on a schedule is important. And for that, you need somewhere to plan. There are dozens of options nowadays. You can choose to buy a planner, set up a bullet journal or even print some free printables.
@learnal and @lifewithnerdyglasses wrote two masterposts about their favorite printables, which I’d recommend taking a look (x, x). You can also check out the printables tag on Tumblr.
The bullet journal system was created by Ryder Carroll, but has since then suffered considerable changes in the studyblr community. Here is a guide to bullet journaling, how students can take advantage of the system and how to set up a digital bullet journal.
Here are some spreadsheet ideas.
@kuroristudies even has a post explaining how she makes her weekly views.
Classes
Register for classes that are useful, that interest you or even that you know will help you out with your chosen career path. Keep in mind that you study best when you have at least some kind of interest in the subjects.
·Learn how to study from textbooks, how to give amazing presentations and take useful notes in class. Get the most out of your lecture. Annotate effectively.
Buy different colour highlighters and color code your notes.
@plannerdy came up with a low-stress college study strategy.
Record yourself talking. Explain the topics you’re covering out loud, to your family, your friends, your pets or even an inanimate object.
You need to write an essay? I’ve got you covered.
Plan on always getting the best marks you can in each test you take. Measure yourself against yourself.
STAY ON TOP OF YOUR HOMEWORK!
Review your notes every day. At the end of the week, grab the notes you took during the week, organise them by concept and consolidate it all onto 1 SHEET OF PAPER.
Sometimes you just need to study all day.
Overlearn whenever you can. You know you’re prepared when someone asks you about a topic and you can answer them in a thorough and accurate way.
Time management is key.
Come up with a study plan and stick with it! Be productive: complete the 100 days of productivity, gather your battle gear and set up a helpful school mindset.
Make use of small pockets of time to work on assignments. Don’t underestimate the amount of work you can get done at the end of the week by taking advantages of those precious minutes.
It is possible to get hard A’s in college and still have a life.
Set up goals. Monthly, weekly, daily.
MOTIVATION IS BULLSHIT. Rely on self-discipline. It is not the aesthetic part of things that will get you out of bed to exercise or study. Work harder than you think you did yesterday.
Avoid burning out!
Prioritize keeping yourself organised. Keep your study space and your house cleaned. After your first day of class go through all your syllabi and put any major due dates in your planner. Make into a study guide things your teachers emphasize in class. Make flashcards.
Here are some tips for when you’re tired and/or need to focus.
Don’t worry if you mess up your notes. And be careful with flashcards mistakes.
Achieve your full academic potential, even when you don’t want to study.
Need to catch up? I’ve got you. School just got hard for the first time? Guess what. Not anymore.
Don’t take criticism personally. Learn what you can from any comments that are made – and discard the rest as being useless information. Develop a positive mindset. Set some goals and achieve them.
STOP. PROCRASTINATING. RIGHT. NOW.
Estimate the number of study hours based on course difficulty. Rather than focusing on the arbitrary two hours of study for every hour in class method for determining your needed study hours per week, follow these steps.
Column 1 – Enter each of your semester course names.
Column 2 – Determine the difficulty (for you) of each course:
§ High Difficulty = 3 hours of study
§ Medium Difficulty = 2 hours of study
§ Low Difficulty = 1 hour of study.
Column 3 – Enter the number of hours per week you attend each class.
Column 4 – Enter the number of hours study hours associated with high, medium, or low difficulty.
Column 5 – Multiply the number of hours in class (Column 3) by the number of predicted study hours (Column 4).
Then, add all the study hours in Column 5 for the approximate total hours you need to study per week.
Revision
When revising you should use different methods. Learn effectively. Study actively, never passively. You have no excuses. Raise that B (or C) to an A.
Didn’t have enough time to study? Here’s a guide to last minute studying, some last minute revision tips, a 3 day study plan, how to study for a big test and how to do so based on your learning type. Don’t worry if you don’t understand a concept.

A reminder for the girls with big plans
To all the girls with big dreams, who have been told that they are ‘too preoccupied with success’, or that they are ‘too selfish’ or ‘too ambitious’ - do not listen to the people who speak those words. If you love something that much, and will pursue it to the ends of the earth, do not give it up for anyone. Hold it close to your heart and understand that you are not obligated to dim your sparkle for anybody. In your life, there will always be people who tell you that you are too much or too little. They will say a woman is too assertive, or too reserved. They will say she feels too little or too much, that ambition is selfish. They may even be hurt or offended that you do not think the same. Yet at the end of the day, know in your heart that you are the only one who will ever know whether you are truly enough and that is what’s important. Go out there and smash the glass ceiling to pieces.
23 March 2018 • Coming Up by watson
Spent a few hours in a local coffee shop just catching up on some work before the next quarter starts.
30.08.2017 // Back home! I’ve had some time to think things over while on holiday, and I realised that I really dislike my degree and what I’m studying, and that I’m much more interested in politics. As such, I got in contact with the university, who said they are happy to consider me for a change to a different course. This involves submitting a piece of written work, and then an interview. As I already did a politics course, they said that they are happy with only an interview.
I’m currently preparing for the interview, and I am so, so scared. Changing course would mean going back into second year, although this is not something that I am too worried about, because it would give me more time to work on my mental health. I’m super scared about doing this, and what changing course means in general, but hey, if something scares you, often it’s a good thing to do.
If anyone has any advice on interviewing for HSPS/politics, please talk to me!!
thursday, 28 december — studying for finals and journaling, trying my best to enjoy the little things and start living without over thinking for everything.

study less study smart
I decided to share my notes taken from this amazing 1 hour Youtube lecture by Marty Lobdell. i really liked him and his tips, i think they are super effective and cover a lot of situations! i highly recommend it!!!!! wow
but here are the tips and examples Marty mentions, so if you don’t have the time to go through the full hour, you can just scroll down. hope this helps somebody!
Break your study time in chunks with breaks
most students lose focus at 25 minutes
it’s a mistake to keep going once you do, since you won’t actually learn anything and you’ll hate every minute of it
so when you start losing focus take a 5 minute break
do something nice like talking to someone or listening to music
it’s something you practice so with time you’ll be able to work for more time without losing focus
in the end of the study session have a big reward you look forward to
Create a study area
environment highly affects the way you act. Bedrooms are for sleeping, kitchens for eating: you’ll feel sleepy in your bedroom and hungry in the kitchen. So if you have a study area, it’ll be easier to start studying and staying focused.
study in a specific room like an office or school library if you can
if you have to study in your bedroom use a specific object you only use for studying: a lamp/desk. Make it a no-distraction, away from your bed, blank walls area.
The more active the learning, the better
80% active learning 20% passive
ask yourself: is it a concept or a fact?
learning a concept: understand/grasp/know it
put it into your own words
really think about the meaning of it
relate it with something you already know
teach somebody else. Recapitulate what you’ve learned. Talk out loud even if you don’t have anyone to teach - talk alone. Or at anyone that listens.
learning a fact: memorize it
use mnemonics
Acronyms (e.g. colours of the rainbow RoyGBiv – red orange yellow green blue indigo violet)
Coined sayings - anything popular or sayings you’ve heard since you were a child.
Interacting images – work even better if they’re weird. Creative associations make you never forget specific details. (e.g. 1 gram of fat has 9 calories: picture a fat cat – each cat has 9 lives)
any time 2 things are highly similar but not the same you will get maximal interference!! USE mnemonics!! (e.g. afferent vs efferent neurons: SAME - Sensory Afferent Motor Efferent)
Be a part of study groups
others can help you in ways you never thought before
Recognizing VS remembering
never confuse the two
while reviewing a chapter you may recognize concepts but not actually know them
and when you get to the test you won’t be able to remember any of it
so quiz yourself without looking at it
or stop in a page of your notes/textbook and ask yourself what is the concept immediately after and before it
Get your REM Sleep
get ~8 hours so you don’t undo your studying
this is how your brain stores permanent memories
without it you’re ability to remember seriously decreases
most people don’t even begin to take the advice but it’s simple: sleep better. Do better.
There’s 162 hours in a week. There is time.
reflect on what you are doing with your time and what activities you have to prioritize to succed as a student
Taking notes is vital.
right after the class take 5 minutes to expand everything you’ve jotted down, give it depth.
NOT hours later. You won’t remember half the things you wrote down.
Ask your questions to class mates and teachers.
teachers want you to succeed and it’s more than ok to ask your question in the teacher’s office or in the next class
How to use a textbook: SQ3R technique
Survey Question Read Recite Review
Survey: skim through the entire chapter in a couple of minutes.
Raise questions: e.g. what is osmosis? What is this graphic about? What is a prototype?
it causes you to look for answers and you’ll find the information better once you actually study it after. If you intend to find something you learn it better.
Start studying for tests early.
don’t undo yourself. You should only be reviewing the days before the test. don’t leave it till the last minute!
(don’t just scroll through this!!!! really think about these methods and how you can actually implement them so you can benefit from them!!! these actually work but only if you put them into practice boo good luck!)
