types of people x tea 

chamomile: journaling in a gorgeous mess of scrawls and doodles and notes, plants surrounding the room, exclusively wearing florals, “save the bees” posters on every wall, spinning in ballgowns in the dressing rooms at stores, soft lip gloss, retro glasses

lavender: glittery red nail polish, crimson lipstick, corduroy miniskirts, heels that could kill a man, fleetwood mac records spinning on a turntable, confident smirks and loud bubbly laughter, the feeling of freedom that comes with a rush of adrenaline

ginger peach: polaroid pictures, nostalgic songs, warm knit cardigans and worn out jumpers, the smell of vanilla, adores the sun, probably super athletic, spinning their friends in a laugh-filled dance when their favorite song comes on, fairy lights, troye sivan constantly playing in the background

matcha: cashmere sweaters and tartan scarves, loves vellichor (the smell of old books) more than anything, bags stuffed to the brim with books, fancy pens and journals filled with looping script, indie music filling the room, dreams full of their characters and the worlds in their head

study styles as foods with lots of sugar in them

chocolate bars: piano music in the background, notecards with definitions that are too long, carefully chunks study time, calm studying, light blue highlighters, works to their strengths

milkshakes: soft pop music, furiously scribbled notes on study guides, studying during all available free time after leaving it to the last minute, quick, fast-paced studying, pink sharpies, knows their limits

cherry soda: slow rap from headphones, memorizing class notes and adding new annotations, studies the weekend before the test for six hours, structured studying, red pens, perfected their study methods three years ago

pixie stix: humming along to EDM and Lo-fi songs, studying a friend’s quizlet, studied the night before for a maximum of one (1) hour, barely completed studying, keyboard stickers, works well under pressure

lucky charms: classic rock from expensive speakers, making study guides that get used by the whole class, studying begins a week before the test or earlier, unnecessarily thorough studying, mechanical pencils, knows more than the teacher at this point

cotton candy: today’s hits playing on a alarm-clock radio, writing on a whiteboard to memorize spellings, impromptu study groups during free periods, laughing, fun studying, neon gel pens, self-motivated student

Some different study types

A: relies on a mix of hard work and talent, generally does everything to learn, even studies after the test is written bc didn't have time before. silently stressed out B: relies on hard work, studies every single subject - even subjects you aren't supposed to study for. Success based on hard work ! C: relies on talent, active during lessons, just knows things. only studies when absolute necessary, still great grades D: constantly stressed out about everything. stresses about not having studied, generally crams things the weekend before the test. E: just... don't study. bad grades.

I Hate Studying

So naturally I’m shit but here are a couple (read: hundred) tips on creating a study guide. You’ll probably spend the rest of the afternoon reading this.

Identify key points from your notes taken during class, and make a list.

If there are any vocabulary terms you need to know and remember, write them down, along with the definition.

During or after reading one chapter, use your own words and add key concepts from the chapter. A key concept is a principal or important fact, main idea, statistic, etc. Each heading or paragraph typically contains a key concept.

Create a visual representation or outline to better organize your information and retain the material learned in class or from assigned reading.

Combine notes taken in class with your chapter summaries and add any additional content from the class, such as lab notes, field trips, etc.

Think of questions to ask yourself and add the answers to your study guide.

Review your study guide frequently in a quiet environment so that your whole focus is on remembering and reflecting upon the material.

If your teacher drops that they think that this point of view is best, take up that point of view even if you don’t 100% agree with it. Sure they said to write your own reason but they’re more likely to agree with someone who had the same idea as them.

BY THE WAY! Let it be known dearest padawan that there are a few types of people with different ways of learning like using your hands or listening or writing or seeing or blah de blah. Here are a few patterns I’ve noticed though.

Visual • Uses visual objects such as graphs, charts, pictures, and seeing information • Can read body language well and has a good perception of aesthetics • Able to memorize and recall various information • Tends to remember things that are written down • Learns better in lectures by watching them Auditory • Retains information through hearing and speaking • Often prefers to be told how to do things and then summarizes the main points out loud to help with memorization • Notices different aspects of speaking • Often has talents in music and may concentrate better with soft music playing in the background Kinesthetic • Likes to use the hands-on approach to learn new material • Would rather demonstrate how to do something rather than verbally explain it • Usually prefers group work more than others Helpful Tips are... Visual • Turn notes into pictures, charts, or maps • Avoid distractions (windows, doorways, etc.) • Learn the big picture first and then focus on the details • Make mind and concept maps instead of outlines • Color code parts of new concepts in your notes • Use flash cards when trying to study vocabulary Auditory • Record lectures and then listen to them • Repeat material out loud and in your own words • Discuss materials in your study groups • Read textbooks aloud • Listen to wordless background music while studying Kinesthetic • Take study breaks often • Learn new material while doing something active (e.g., read a textbook while on a treadmill) • Chew gum while studying • Work while standing • Try to take classes with instructors who encourage demonstrations and fieldwork
