ways to study for exams that are actually productive

use actual note cards for vocab. yes, apps like quizlet are dandy when you’re on the go, but actually physically writing out each note card helps put the information into memory faster than typing them.

visual learner? make charts and diagrams. they don’t have to be pretty. the lines don’t have to be perfectly straight. it doesn’t have to be photogenic. but if it helps you learn, do it.

after you take notes (in class or at home/from your text book), write down possible quiz questions about the material on the next page while it’s still fresh in your mind. later on when you’re studying for the test, use these questions to gauge what specifics out of that chapter you need to work on the most.

start sooner rather than later. i know, you’ve heard this a million times from every teacher ever. but it’s legit. especially as you get into harder level classes and college courses because there is literally so much material that the tests cover that you simply can not accurately learn all of it over night. instead, start about 10 days in advance (but of coarse, the sooner the better).

studying doesn’t have to be a big giant study session that takes hours. if you start far enough in advance, study sessions can be around an hour, hell even 45 minutes is a good. if you go too long in one study session your brain will be fried and studying will be pointless because your brain won’t be processing any of it. that’s why it’s important to take breaks and not just cram for 5 hours the night before an exam.

actually study. hold yourself accountable and make your education a priority. if you have homework and studying to do, make it a priority over going partying or watching tv. there will be another party. you can dvr your show. you can’t take your test on a later day because you don’t feel ready. so be ready.

be careful with study groups. if you have a study group with all of your best friends, lets face it, you’re going to end up spending more time talking about harry styles and supernatural than actually studying. it’s better to have a study group with people who are your friends, but not best friends. and it’s better to keep it between 5-7 people so that everyone can be involved.

if the material is just super confusing and you can’t seem to understand it no matter how hard you study, it’s not you. it’s the way you were taught it. each teacher teaches a bit differently, and maybe their style of teaching just isn’t for you. if this happens, find a way that explains it the best for you. for example, if chemistry is just super confusing for you, try watching the Crash Course chemistry videos on youtube or have a friend explain it to you. this will give you a completely different perspective on the material and will help you understand it better.

at the end of the day, remember that everything will be okay. studying can be stressful, especially if it’s in a class that you struggle in. but i promise you that you are not the only one who struggles sometimes in school, it’s a part of being human. as long as you actually put in an effort and try your best, be proud of yourself. take a deep breath. and remember: you got this.

The Future of Star Wars...a theory:

Anyone else wonder if they decided to end the saga this way because they want us to be deeply invested in whatever else could be coming down the line for Rey and Ben and the rest of our ST characters? I mean...it seems like a pretty corporate thing to do.

We have strong evidence that a different ending was filmed—changing that ending to be more “ambiguous” could have easily been a late decision made to keep possibilities for other stories open. An ending like the one we we given in TRoS keeps people talking—it leaves people wondering what could be. And when DLF announces that a new story is continuing on with our ST characters (Rey, Ben, Rose, Finn, Poe and the rest of the gang) people will be more than ready to roll.

But the Skywalker Saga is over. Where do we go from here?:

Yes, the Skywalker Saga has ended...in the sense that the nostalgic-ridden story that lives in the shadow of our OT characters has ended. LF closed the book on the Skywalker Saga and gave “traditional” OT lovers the nostalgic film they wanted to “satisfy” them at the end of their nine film storyline. Rey literally laid The Skywalker legacy to rest by burying the family sabers.

But now, our new characters that were introduced in the ST don’t have to live with the shadow of Luke, Leia, Han, and Lando looming over them—These characters can grow and change and have their own story arcs separate from the OT characters. Gone are the days of catering to the OT audience—it’s time for a new generation of stories.

Do I think our OT characters will be erased and never talked about again? Of course not! But this isn’t their story anymore. Star Wars is about a new generation now. 💜

There is so much left open for us to explore: Rey’s story arc isn’t complete—she still has to finish her heroine’s journey. Ben Solo isn’t dead. He’s somewhere in the Great Unknown—the World Between Worlds was introduced for a reason. There can be no balance without the Dyad together—Ben and arey must reunite. Finn is Force Sensitive—there is so much to explore there! And Rose, Jannah and Poe all have stories brewing, too.

I’m excited for the future. Wether these stories are explored in comics, novels, animation, Live Action TV shows, or (we can all hope) films—I am ready for any of it. I’m craving these stories. So many of us are.

Stay with us 🙏 don't leave us alone 😩

It’s hard to find the right words to describe the depth of our misery 💔especially after loosing our house and everything we own

For 10 months, my family has been torn apart. My mother and new baby sister are stuck abroad, away from us.💔

We are struggling to survive. Each day brings new challenges, new fears & new horrors and the sounds of bombing keep us worried & afraid all the time!😭

We’ve got tired of pretending that we are strong but we are not!😩

But in the midst of this misery, there is a flicker of hope that…To anyone listening, please remember that small donations will make big differences to our life. We need your donation, empathy, support, and your prayers more than ever.🙏
