28.05.18 Procrastination levels have reached an all time high.

my world history notes and art history notes are the only notes i’ve been rewriting. why am i sad that my other classes just give handouts and do discussions?

6 Things People Don't Always Tell You About Studying

1. you ace tests by overlearning. you should know your notes/flashcards/definitions basically by heart. if someone asks you about a topic when you’re away from class or your notes and you can answer them in a thorough and and accurate answer, then you’re good, you know the material. 

2. if you don’t understand something, it will end up on the test. so just don’t disregard and hope that this specific topic won’t be on the test. give it more attention, help, and practice. find a packet of problems on that one concept and don’t stop until you finish it and know it the best. 

3. sometimes you just need that Parental Push. you know in elementary school, they would tell you “ok now it’s time for you to do your homework! you have a project coming up, start looking for a topic now!” ONE of your teachers might be like this. be thankful for it and follow their advice! these teachers are the best at always keeping you on track with their calendar. if not a teacher, then have one of your friends be that person that can keep you accountable for the things you promised you would do. 

4. you just need to kick your own ass. seriously. i know it sucks and its hard to study for two things at once. BUT. I DONT CARE IF IT’S HARD. you need to do it and at least do it to get it over with because you can’t keep putting things off. If you do, you will eventually run out of time and you will hate yourself. force yourself to do it. i made myself sign up for june ACT even though there’s finals because if i didn’t, i probably never would. like do i think i’m gonna be ready in one month? probably not, SO I BETTER GET ON IT AND START STUDYING! 

5. do homework even if it doesn’t count. if you actually try on it, then you will actually do so much better on the tests, it’s like magic. 

6. literally just get so angry about procrastinating that you make yourself start that assignment. I know how hard it is to kick the procrastination habit. I have to procrastinate. So I make myself start by thinking about my deadlines way early. I think, “oh i have a presentation in three weeks (but it really takes 2 weeks to do), i’ll be good and start today.” when that doesn’t happen, you say you’ll do it tomorrow, and this happens for like the next four days. I get so mad at myself for not starting when i am given a new chance to do so with every passing day. By that time, you actually have exactly how much time you need for it AND you were able to procrastinate the same way you usually do ;)

This is so helpful

This is great! Ideally you want to know everything before the test- don’t complain if you don’t know the content because there should always be time!

Do you ever just sit on your bed and wonder what a person all the way across the world is doing? And what their life is like? And their accomplishments, their friends, their embarassing memories, and their family? And do you ever realize that you’ll never get to meet that person and get to know them? And they’ll probably never know that you even exist.

Quite proud of this little study guide I made for chemistry. I am going to have a test on it this Wednesday and, as always, I’m nervous.

I bought this super cute tote bag at school the other day, it has a zipper and all! I haven’t been posting as regularly the past few days because I’m sorting out some transfer things, but expect pics of a new spread soon! I hope everyone is having a great day and is welcoming the weekend happily <3
