You can only get ahead if you start. So this is your friendly reminder to start whatever that you've been ignoring/procrastinating.
Did absolutely nothing today because one, I was fasting and two, I'm a lazy ass potato. So, nothing to update though I did do some Computer project with my classmates. So... Kinda did something? And tomorrow is Eid so I guess i wouldn't do anything tomorrow either so... :")
If I had to give one advice, and only one advice, to everyone going through highschool (although it also works for uni), it would be this:
Do as much past papers as you can. Lessons are not enough, practice is the key. There is generally a pattern in the exercises. That's what you should learn to identify. Learn to see, from the first glance, what they ask you in a question, even if you don't know the answer to it yet. That is more than helpful. That makes you learn your lessons better and you'll be confident in front of any exercise even if you don't really know the answers, you know the steps. You know what is asked from you. You know what to do. So practice, practice, practice.
Based on experience.
Hey dear Anon! :)
I know what you're saying because I literally passed sophomore and junior year with this method. I agree it's very beneficial and it definitely gives you more confidence in the actual exam!
Thanks for sharing :)
Today was a lazy day, I just slept and studied for only sometime... But Day 2 is done!
Day 2/Day 9
Today i completed:
Two lessons in accounts
Revised MCQs
Reviewed notes
Total hours of study: 2 hours
You need to do it yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.
All studyblrs out there, I just wanted to say:
CROSS IT OUT AND TRY AGAIN. THAT'S LEARNING.
Your notes CAN be beautiful, perfect, without mistakes. In fact you should be proud of them. But at the same time, crossings out do not make notes any less valuable.
"But ohh they make it look ugly" "ohh but crossing out means I got it wrong"
NO!
The crossed out section is a testament to your learning and I think you should take pride in that as well. Nobody is perfect.
I want to see your imperfect notes with little scribbles and jottings.
Capture the essence of the feverish scholar frantically noting down their ideas as they rush towards a new horizon- their breakthrough. Their ultimate discovery. The thing they've been working on for their entire life.
Capture that essence of "I must, because it has to be done."
But again, at the same time, make them pretty! Put effort into their making! It's no different to a piece of art.
Your notes can be however you want them to be. They are for you and nobody else. If you take pride in them, their purpose is fulfilled.
Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
I think nobody says this, but it's completely okay to take up what you actually want as a major. It doesn't matter if people tell you that you have the capability to do more or that you don't. If you want to do a particular major. Go for it. And I'm telling you, you'll definitely ask yourself, "Am I doing this right?" but I think it's worth following something you're passionate about. You don't have to give justification for doing what you love.
