17 Things I Learnt In 2017 (Study Edition)

17 Things I Learnt in 2017 (Study Edition)

Some days you won’t feel intrinsically motivated. That’s ok. That’s why friends, motivational speeches and pump-up jams exist.

You learn as much from your extra-curricular activities as you do from your formal education. This is where you’ll gain soft skills.

Treat all subject matter as though its wildly interesting. If you speak about everything like it’s your favourite topic, soon enough you’ll genuinely find an interest in it.

Pick subjects you like. Don’t pick a subject because your friends are doing it, it scales well or you think it’s what you should be doing.

Pick subjects you absolutely suck at. You don’t have to only pick subjects you know you’ll do well in - you can do things that challenge you; things that will make you grow.

Don’t pay too much attention to ranks. You don’t have to focus on others - only on beating yourself.

Ask for help! Ask your friends, your teachers, your parents, your seniors - anyone who you think will listen. There is never any shame asking for help.

Study everything. Don’t neglect one subject in favour of another. Make sure every subject is getting time, even if it’s not an equal amount.

Lists help a lot. Write down things. Tick them off as you go.

Your academic goals don’t have to be the same as anyone else’s goals. You shouldn’t have to worry if your goals are higher or lower than anyone else’s - they are yours.

Studying with friends makes studying around exams a whole lot more bearable.

Pay attention to your health. An ‘A’ grade is nice, but 8 hours of sleep per day is nicer.

Pay attention to your friends’ health, especially around exams. Some of your friends might be struggling, make sure you’re there for them and you support each other.

Talking about doing something isn’t nearly as effective as actually doing something.

If you’re good at something, help someone else. It’ll help out the other person and help you better understand it if you help someone else understand it. Win-win.

Sometimes you won’t meet your goals and that’s ok. Don’t let one failure overshadow all your successes.

Do things you enjoy. Don’t give up your hobbies entirely just to focus on academia. You’ll do much better if you have time to have fun and relax.

things you need to hear this exam season

- don’t beat yourself up for struggling even if you’re doing your best - you are smart and capable so don’t let laziness stop you from achieving your potential - stop self sabotaging. that tv show can wait. take a break but don’t become your own obstacle to success. get shit done first - eating right, staying hydrated and sleeping well are non-negotiable. look after yourself - grades do not define you so be kind to yourself. but do your best and work hard for what you want

January 12 2018: 3/100 I haven't posted because my dysphoria has been killing me but I'm working really hard to get back. We are learning about elements and compounds in chemistry and I'm loving it
