This is from a recent study that found that GPT detectors were misclassifying writing by non-native English speakers as AI-generated 48-76% of the time (!!!), compared to 0%-12% for native speakers.

Hello, I hope you are all doing well. After a few months I am finally back.

switch from paper to digital or visa versa, or switch it up every couple of weeks

stop trying to make things pretty if it's stressing you out

switch to handwritten notes, or try re-writing your notes after class

change the paper you're using, try a different pen

start using highlighters

try bullet journaling, it doesn't need to be pretty

if a physical planner isn't working, try a digital one like notion

try reading audiobooks instead

look into supplemental material on your class, e.g. crash course

work in a different place

change the music you listen to, i suggest nintendo and chill on spotify

take more/less breaks

Pretend you are taking notes to teach someon3 else later (even make a post about what you learned, studyblrs love hearing what each other is learning!)

Look into digital knowledge systems like Obsidian and start making conscious connections with the notes you take in class (this is called a Zettelkasten system)

Write notes in your own words instead of copying lectures or textbooks, if the wording is important make it a quote and attribute it to your teacher!

there is no shame in asking for help

there is no shame in having a tutor

there is no shame in not getting As

there is no shame in not knowing what you want to study

there is no shame in having a job

there is no shame in struggling in a so-called "easy subject"

there is no shame in withdrawing from a course

there is no shame in changing your major

there is no shame in not taking a full load of classes in a semester

there is no shame in realizing your school may not be for you
