#studyasks

hello there!

hmm that’s a tough question. I’ve always liked studying my whole life so it just comes naturally to me. my routine has always revolved around my classes/exams and I’ve gotten better at handling it.

there are times though when I am just so exhausted. I always mention that our curriculum is unnecessarily crazy, crowded, and toxic. like now, it’s post-midterms and we have no break. we go to classes this week and take our mini exams, do our reports like we didn’t spend the whole week studying like crazy without sleep.

during times like this, what I do is I sleep when I want to. treat myself to the food I’m craving for or that one cup of coffee. when things get tough, you do self-care so you’ll be ready to tackle your responsibilities after. you let yourself rest.

hi ~ in a lot of those don’t-highlight post people are worried that they will highlight just about anything and end up with an entire page that is florescent yellow, not knowing what was important or why they highlighted in the first place. 

however, i still highlight and probably always will … you just have to practice picking what’s most important on the page and how it will relate to whatever you’re studying or whatever research paper you are writing. 

Hello ~ I do not rewrite my notes from class. I have come to a conclusion that it’s a huge waste of time (for me at least), I tried it but it doesn’t work. I take pretty decent notes in class and it has just come from practice. 

Every professor or teacher has a distinct way of teaching, the first couple of classes are when I try to figure out the professor’s style and take my notes accordingly (some professor tell you what’s important what you should write down, some professor repeat themselves, some tell you to look to their assigned readings). The professors literally give you all you need to pass their class and having “pretty notes” isn’t one of them.
