Some Study Tips...

As you could probably tell, I put an emphasis on keeping my grades up. So, you could say I have come across some tips that helped me along the way.

1) Its okay to take frequent breaks. If you focus for too long, your brain stops retaining the information you are trying to learn. But don't get too distracted during these breaks. I suggest stopping for just long enough for a quick snack.

2) Do the busy work first. Get the easy stuff out of the way first because when you are tired and exhausted after completing the difficult assignments, you are not going to want to do busy work. So, it might be me wanting to procrastinate but doing the easy stuff first, will make finishing your work feel a lot better.

3) Try to learn as much as you can during class, or while doing homework. It will make taking the test a lot less stressful of you don't have to learn all of the material the night before. Plus, if you forget to study, you’re still covered.

4) Write the important things down, even if you think you will remember them. If you write it down it will stick in your mind better and make it easier to recall the information later. Taking notes could increase the time it takes to complete your homework, but it will make a difference in the long run.

5) Just get it done. I know it can be very hard at times to find the motivation to do homework or study, but if you want to get good grades, you've just got to do it. So, at the end of the day turn off your TV, play some music and actually get your homework done.

Helpful Tip: Food always makes studying better. I suggest small things that aren't messy such as fruit snacks or chips. However, I do recommend keeping it on the healthier end, especially if you are like me and have a lot of studying to do.
