-- 1. mindset about studying
im telling you none of what i will say matter if you don't carry the right mindset. studying is all about knowledge. don't base your knowledge on your grades and rather focus on how much you want to learn. it's just a matter of
im telling you none of what i will say matter if you don't carry the right mindset. studying is all about knowledge. don't base your knowledge on your grades and rather focus on how much you want to learn. it's just a matter of
discovering new things as a new day comes. you can do this! it's just school, it won't affect your life forever. take it seriously but don't take it too deep. i've been a perfectionist when it came to studying with a "be best or be nothing" mindset ever since
primary school, i ended up losing my childhood. it's not nice fr, that kind of mindset will drag you down.
-- 2. motivation, will power
losing motivation is a real thing. but how fast you can lose it is also how fast you can earn it! look around you, look at your parents. they might seem shitty sometimes, but remember that they're doing everything they can to feed you. pay them back.

if that's not the case, you have your friends! they'll be so proud of you. look at your pets. your idols! your dreams. you got this. you can do it.
it takes a lot of will power not to procrastinate. but your will power is also limited. use it wisely.

-- 3. tw // food; sleep
eat clean. eat enough. if you're trying to lose weight, do not eat less. eat clean and eat right on time. your health matters more than anything. chocolate, nuts, and mint help to focus on studying.
get enough sleep. your mind most likely won't work if

i read a research about ppl with insomnia lately. apparently, forcing yourself to stay awake (without distractions aka electronics) will help you fall asleep faster.
chamomile tea and lavander scented candles exist btw

also, drink enough water! don't drink less, don't drink more. there's an app called "plant nanny" if you're having trouble remembering to drink water. it reminds you and everytime you drink a cup, you water a plant in the app which grows over time. they also
calculate your weight x how much hours you're physically active to get how many ml of water you need everyday. the illustrations are very cute!
bro i switched 3 and 4 but nevermind
-- 4. study place, time
where you're most comfortable will be be the most ideal place to study. don't get any. u
guide from other people, make your own based on your lifestyle. here's an example!

do take breaks. do not study for 2 hours + without a break, it will cause something called a burnout.
-- 5. time management
please please please do get a planner. especially if you're in highschool. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE COLLEGE. Don't be afraid to switch classes, courses if it does not work for you. however i know some of you has their curriculum fixed,

but you can make it work. the key in here is to focus. finish your work first. (unless you wanna be like past me who wanted adventure so i made all my works rushed and stressful).
do manage your time. this is very important. you got this.

another college tip:
do NOT take classes before 9 pm. this is tested and proven by a lot of college gals that i heard complain everytime and if if you're a freshman/sophomore, do squeeze your classes on your schedule and free your junior/senior years for internship.

-- 6. stationary
it might seem funny but having stationaries you're vert excited with improves your studying. proven by me. get those cute pens and do decorate your notes. also make it organized so you don't get tired reading!

-- 7. dealing with procrastination
you can procrastinate.
i know this seems dumb but don't beat up yourself for procrastinating. it can happen and will happen somehow. this just goes back to your time management and focus.

-- music
music can be distracting especially when your favorite song comes on shuffle and you can't help but sing along. i don't really know how to advise you on this since I'm not strict when it comes to procrastination alone, but lofi music and white noise do help on focusing.

there's a do not disturb button for a reason. if someone is spamming you while it's your study time, tell them to shut up. your family and friends should be understanding enough to leave you alone. if they do bother you on purpose, i do advice you to hit them :)

if you do not have any needs on your phone while studying, i do recommend this app. it has a timer in which when you exit the app the timer stops and continues again whenever on the app. when you succeed, you plant a tree!
this app also has a tree planting program in real life! please do check it out!

do not be afraid to tell your siblings or cousins to stfu. the same thing goes with your dog.

-- 11. essays, research papers, projects
the moment any of these has been given to you, don't prelong it. do it as soon as you can. be creative with your projects! there are a lot of inspirations you can get on pinterest, we heart it, tumblr and you might not believe it

but reading things on reddit helps you build ideas. go all out on all of your performance tasks as far as you can go. this does not only show the effort, but it does improve your attitude towards creativity.
- essays
as much as i want to give you advices on this one, essays can be PAIN. lack of ideas will drive you insane and when that happens? it drags you to the dark until you can no longer write anything.

- find reliable and trusted articles as your resources. on google search, when you type the topic follow them by "site:edu" or "site:gov". these sites are more reliable than anything else.
- lastly, enjoy writing. if you have a negative attitude towards writing essays, it will show on your work. writing is fun! learning is fun
- papers
for research, i advice you once again to use google scholar. i can't really help you on this, but i saved this a long time ago it might be helpful.

-- 12. study groups, clubs
i'm not forcing you to join clubs but it will really help you grow, not only academically but it helps you overall on growing. i can't really say much since we have different situations, and i don't want to offend anyone.

i have been classified as an introvert but i've never had things like... (insert tw)
problems in crowds, social interactions and anxiety. please your mental health is important, you don't need to do it if you want to. you're the most important in here.

for study groups, you can do it with your friends. though in college, getting a study PARTNER (emphasis on the SINGULAR) is important. if your dorm roomate is the same course as you, that's great, you're so lucky in life. if not, that's fine as well.
i saw the importance of study groups when i saw this. everything becomes so much easier when someone helps you but be mindful. this can be done online and please please do not host social gatherings even if it's study groups to help our situation.
maybe if i had friends i would show you how it's done but that was not the case so
- tips on exams!
i saw an economy professor teach this. if you google search the "subject+exam+site:edu" it shows you different exams from everywhere. tried this on my history once, helped me as a guide.

if a teacher makes you write about the covid, you can do that BUT don't talk all about it alone. talk about a lot of things! how you overcame your limitations, how you coped with staying at home and a lot lot more.

you might fail.
you might make mistakes. wait scratch that-- you will make mistakes. you are bound to have them, and that's fine. do not let your mistakes drag you down. overcome them.

reflect and see how did you make a mistake so next time it happens, you don't repeat the same thing. another one, please help youself.
remember, life is like a gameplay and you have no choice but to flow with it. there's no walkthrough for you. no one out there will come and instantly save you, you gotta save yourself first. you matter before anything else.
help others! that kid on your class that can't catch up? help them. it might not change anything to you but it can drastically change their life. you can make a difference.
lastly, you got this! read a lot. reading one article a day can change a lot of things. did you know that ĂŠ was a part of the english alphabet before? see? there's a lot of interesting things, you just need the eyes to see them.
i'm so proud of you! go smash those studies, tiger!
