aspiring granger

just finished a week of exams 😪 we’ve got another week to go, and i’m already burnt out. but there’s only a few more exams (like 5?) and 3 of them are just the MCQ papers so the week should be less stressful than the previous.

i didn’t get much done today because i’m so tired, i barely got a wink of sleep last night. was up late cramming, & woke up early for it too. 11/10 DON’T recommend. it was a content-heavy paper too, since it was geography. should’ve studied over the past month consistently, in hindsight.

No matter how much I study, I can’t help but feel like I’m not ready. Through the years I found ways to fight this feelings and I thought I might share some with you:

Self talk -Just talk it out with yourself. Did I study? Yes. Can I do anything more than that? No? Well, then there is no reason to worry.

Ask someone to ask you questions about the topic -This will help you find holes in your knowledge and talking about it helps me remember it even more.

Teach someone else -The moment you are able to teach someone, you are ready.

Take a long break (I mean entire hours) and then go through it in your head one more time -You will find the things you need to go through one more time. The rest is okay.

Definitely DON’T:

Panic when you can’t remember something -It’s okay. It usually takes time before the stuff sets in your memory

Study even tho you feel like there is nothing new -Going over it again and again will just either confuse you or make you feel lazy because there is nothing new to study so you don’t really try.

Panicking in general ain’t good

Don’t ask yourself overcomplicated questions -You’re just trying to prove yourself that you can’t do it even tho it’s not true.

of 30 day studyblr challenge by @hayley-studies

here’s a photo of my economics textbook (since i’m studying it right now for my exam tomorrow). this is the study method that i use when i only have a day to study - summarize each points or paragraphs in a sticky note, using your own words as much as possible. in addition, write important informations in another color to differentiate it from the rest.

It’s been years since I’ve posted! Also I started IG: @studying.koala Well into the new semester and finding macroeconomics so difficult!
