STUDYING

Can you honestly, truthfully, no stuttering or stopping to question yourself, say you like studying? no? Well, I can.
Here are some tips and tricks that I use to help me with late night cram sessions and even just because why the hell not, I know I'll have to study at some point anyway.

TIP 1:
The main thing  have to do while studying is write it down, typing is wonderful, but I truly believe in the hand to brain aspect of studying, 
TIP 2:
Take notes, while you are learning the material, take notes on it, use that chicken scratch to help further deepen the knowledge of what you have already read while you prepare for the test.
TIP 3:
Give yourself time! do not just sit down and be like, i have to learn everything in the next 20 minutes! You will get no where!! Give yourself half an hour every night before the test and do one piece at a time.
TIP 4:
Use colour! If you ever had the chance to go through the notes I take you would be in shock. Rarely do I ever write with black or blue pen, my notes look like unicorn poo!! I find it easier to use different colours so that I actually want to look at my notes when the time comes.
TIP 5:
Listen to music, this is totally up to you, but i find it easier to digest when I am listening to music. Plus, its a great way to block out what is happening around you!
TIP 6:
Highlight, but only highlight the important stuff, like definitions or key point, the main elements of the reading. 
TIP 7:
Write down definitions, make definitions as easy to grab as possible, like writing them down so you can look back on them with ease.
TIP 8:
Take summary notes of chapters in your text book or for handouts.
TIP 9:
Do your  homework! Do your homework even if your teacher isn't checking it, its practice for the test!
And along with this, redo homework questions while studying.
TIP 10:
Redraw diagrams from your notes rather than just looking at them, it helps to memorize it.
TIP 11:
Get rid of distractions, turn off Netflix, don't try doing math while you're dong English, and focus on one subject.


I hope you use some of my tips to help see what works for you!!
