I love girls who are proud and uninhibited about their intelligence and will brag about their accomplishments and take no shit from pretentious boys who look down on women in their field. girls who are outspoken and a bit arrogant and ambitious in a world where we are told that we must hide our intellect and to always put the needs of others (i.e. men) in front of our own are amazing
the older i get the more it’s clear that being smart doesn’t get you very far if you’re not disciplined. there are tons of people who are brilliant but not disciplined. they have amazing ideas but cannot finish a project. they are creative and innovative but cannot execute a plan. i see how important it is to set deadlines and boundaries for myself an to be disciplined.
1. Start revising 3 weeks before exams begin
· The first 2 weeks will be for reviewing, preparing revision notes/flashcards, and learning any info you haven’t studied yet
· The last week will be for reviewing the summary notes/flashcards, and doing fake tests/past papers as well as relaxing your mind and preparing yourself mentally
2. Prepare summary sheets
· These are different from class notes and ‘’aesthetic’’ notes because they are much shorter and provide basic information on the chapter/topic
· Summary sheets are very helpful tools for the few days leading up to the exams
3. Create fake tests
· Look through your class notes or the textbook and come up with questions that could be in the exam
· Do a few of these fake tests on the last week of revision and do the rest the day before the exam
· Make up challenging questions
4. Don’t study all day
· Remember to get at least 7 hours of sleep at night
· Don’t spend too much time at the library
· Take care of yourself
· If you study for a long period of time and you feel study burnout, drink a glass of water and take a 1-2 hour nap
5. Eat Healthy
· Healthy foods improve memory so make sure you eat enough fruits, veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats(nuts and avocados)
· Drink more water
6. Thoroughly study any concepts you haven’t quite understood yet
· Ask your professor/teacher for help if you need it
7. Ask your professor/teacher for help if you get stuck on a hard past paper question
· Don’t skip hard past paper questions, I used to do this and I was surprised when the same question ended up on the exam paper
if u don’t feel motivated, pretend ur in a movie or tv show. you know the scenes where they’re on their bed with their feet tucked up and crossed at the ankle, and they’re cracking open highlighters with their teeth and poring over a textbook with smooth rock music playing? that. bonus points for a perfect messy bun and spencer hastings outfit.
just in case no one told you, you did well this year. you don’t even realize it :( I’m proud of you, you should be proud of yourself too
just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.
and you aren’t stupid for having trouble articulating yourself.
