I've been having a hard time studying as it's spring time and there is only one and a half months of school left. Any advice on how to survive this without failing my semester grades right at the end of it?
CONGRATS ONLY 1.5 MONTHS OF SCHOOL LEFT!!! It’ll pass by in a flash so just stay focused for a little more.Â
I’m probably not the best person to ask this, I’m incredibly good at procrastinating but here are some things I do that would hopefully work for you as well? Btw, I don’t know what’s wrong with spring time studying, never really experienced spring, so maybe my advice wouldn’t help… (SORRY).
1. I use this app Habitica (iOS | Android) for to-do-lists. It mimics a RPG so you lose health when you don’t complete your tasks and gain experience/levels when you do.Â
2. I plan out the studying I have to do and write down what I manage to accomplish at the end of the day (there’s usually a huge disparity lol). This helps me track my achievements (cause even a little bit of studying is amazing for me). Whenever I procrastinate I look at my studying record and tell myself I CAN DO THIS THING I HAVE DONE IT BEFORE!
3. For me the difficulty is starting to study, once I start I’m usually fine. So I start with the subject I like/find easiest first.Â
4. Changing my environment. I like to go to the library, bringing only my studying materials (and water, don’t forget water). When faced with nothing else, I would study cause the alternative is mind-numbing boredom of staring into space.Â
5. Get help from a dependable friend. Basically, get them to sit down with you and do work. It’s not really group study but something like mutual supervision? Make it a competition or something, first one to lose focus has to buy coffee.
That’s all I have. I haven’t done enough studying to say any more. I hope it helped at least a little. All the best for your exams! YOU CAN DO IT!!
