#studycatstudy's tips

Set up a schedule.

When you are waking up at 2 in the afternoon you will feel like you wasted the day.

Start with what time you are willing to wake up as well as being consistent with it or wake around the same time for example 7 - 7:30 am.  

Then plan out either doing an organized planning system or by doing a to-do list its all up to

Know what you need to work on.

Start by listing what you need to do and when they are due.

As well list in a matter of importance/time consumption.

OR what ever method you prefer.

Go to a new area

Find a local coffee shop, cafe dinner or a study cafe, libraries, bookstores

Any new place that you think that you can study in.

Well, I  was going to put this during the final days of my school year but Final Exams hit me and left me with a zombie-like state.Better late than never...eh eh eh. I’m going to share some of my study tips during my school year. Here are 5 out of my many tips.

 Tip 1: ASK QUESTIONS

It's important to ask questions to understand what material you're studying/ learning. Even if you're too shy to say it in the middle of class go ask before, after class or even after school to your teacher. Also, ask your friends if they understand the martial and ask them. If you're too shy to ask your friends or teacher go on the internet. Like my mom says every time i ask for help “Google It “.

 Tip 2 : FOLDERS

Well this is generic for studying tips but folders are important. If you have papers from all of your classes and you need to organize them. But let say you can't get more folders because your mom won't let you get anymore school supplies…or your minimalistic and your have a lot of paper clips.  Use those paper clips and try to color code them or find your own way to organize them. This is a good way to save money and this can also work for binders that have built-in folders.

 Tip 3 : HOMEWORK - “JUST DO IT”

This usually depends on the type of unmotivation you're in but there is one we at least are  familiar with -” I just don't want to do it”. I usually have a an alarm that has the meme as the ringtone. If you need the grade, just do it stop whining and finish that math problem or that paper.

 Tip 4 : HOMEWORK- SNACKS

If you get hungry during your study/homework sessions get a little snack. Get something that is healthy. I usually get  a small bowl of mixed frozen berries and a glass of water.  But you can change it but still be healthy-ish by having chocolate covered raisins in fruit or trail mix.

 Tip 5 : KNOW WHAT MAKES THE GRADE

Some teachers have different grading scale than others. It usually in the syllabus but ask your teacher about it if you have more questions. An example would be

Classwork- 10 %

Homework-5%

Test-20%

Quiz-10%

Final-55%

= total grade

 This is my study tips and i think the tips will help you. Please message me if you have questions or want more.

Welp you need to get your social, school sports, activities - basically your life together.

But the thing is you don’t know how. Well i am here to help!

1. Get a planner / bullet journal / notepad

You need to know your style like do you enjoy a system that is already made or do you enjoy diy ( ing) your schedules?

Either way you have a place to write down what you need to do.

2. Have a system ( optional)

Color code, Symbols, stickers, etc. It can change from person to person but as long you understand what you need to do you’re on the track.

3. Know your priorities

Do you want to get an 100% on the math test or go see that new store that open yesterday more? Know what your goals are and follow through them.

4. Get rid of old junk

Get rid of old trash that’s in the drawer or in your backpack. Get some new supplies to replace the old if you can ( stationary wise, clothes etc. ok ) If you can see if you can re-model your system in your desk/ backpack/ etc.
