about:

law student.

currently in fifth semester!

an academic weapon.

just simply, sit down. grab ur notebook. make a CLEARLY OUTLINED PLAN of what topics u need to cover & what else is left to do. then u slowly start dividing it by days n doing it.

if uve worked rly rly hard & the results were still disappointing, the next thing to do ISN'T to work harder. it's to review & change ur system.

think abt it: if u have flaws in ur system, do u rly think that doing more of it & more aggressively, will help u at all? no, it'll js waste ur time & make u feel frustrated.

what u should do instead is figure out where exactly have u been going wrong, what u could do to make it better.

if ur googling “studying techniques” & using any random one u find, js for it to not work – don't be surprised. copying someone else's techniques is rarely beneficial bc ur techniques r meant to be UR OWN. u have to find out which way of studying is the best suited to u!

u could improve by a lot js by making tweaks to ur tactics, js by sitting out once n figuring what u actually need.

U CAN STILL PICK URSELF BACK UP & CONTINUE FROM WHERE U LEFT OFF.

a slump ≠ total failure, so u should NOT be treating it as one.

u still have time, most importantly u still have URSELF. and u know u can begin again ALWAYS.

IF THE SEMESTER IS STILL GOING ON & U HAVE EXAMS U SHOULD LOCK IN 200%

are u satisfied w ur efforts?

are u satisfied w the time u spent being focused?

are u satisfied w ur results?

if the answer to any of the above questions is NO, then u’ve got to figure out where it's going wrong & what exactly is leaving u unsatisfied.

what u need is:

DEDICATION, CONSISTENCY & EFFORTS.

even if u would rather work smart than work hard, remember it's still SOME work that's gonna get u where u need to be.

so start by mapping out ur goals clearly & then just begin. just starting is already more than what u were doing before.

ur future self will be soooo grateful to u for deciding to start early & getting ahead of the game rather than procrastinating & facing challenges later, even u know this to be true.

quickly!!!! there's still time left!!!

no “i'll start tomorrow” or “i'll start when the clock hits 8”. start NOW!!!!

the best time to start is right now. time is passing n u might as well utilise it for ur benefit!

remember: the cost of procrastination is the life u could've lived.

don't make ur future self chide u for being so thoughtless!

u've got goals to accomplish! dreams to achieve! big waves to make!!!

u can passively read ur material over and over again for 12hrs and feel satisfied thinking “i've read this for so long, i probably know the entire material.”

OR

u can actively learn, write, memorise and recall the material for just 2hrs. so much so that there's no guess-work, u know for a FACT that u know the entire study material, ur so prepared that no matter what kind of questions are asked, u will be able to answer it all.

testing urself on ur knowledge, checking the past-years questions & question paper patterns, filling the gaps of ur knowledge when u see something u haven't quite finished understanding yet.

THIS is going to be WAY MORE BENEFICIAL to u than any amount of hours spent just reading it over and over again.

stop whining and moaning abt how it's too late or how much of a slump ur in or how u could never catch up w the others.

JUST. START.

ur going to make more progress by starting n doing it lil by lil rather than js not doing anything at all. EVEN SLOW PROGRESS IS PROGRESS.

what we're not gonna do is make excuses & wallow in self-pity.

what we ARE gonna do is TAKE ACTIONS!
