It was the first day of school, just got my textbooks and the whole class spent the day talking and doing nothing. Classes start tomorrow but I'm starting sooner this year. I'm keeping this as a tracker for progress so... Yeah

Read 1 chapter of Business studies and English

Completed 50% of the assignment in Economics

Revised last year's accountancy notes

Goals for the next (last) year of highschool!

As much as I love that this is the last year I'm gonna stay in school, I may need to work extra harder to manage everything.

So, I'm gonna keep this goal list as a reminder and motivation!

Personal:

Have a better sleeping schedule (impossible but let's try)

Exercise everyday (Also impossible but let's ignore this)

Maintain good mental health (laughs in hysteria)

Pray Tahajjud everyday (atleast try)

Recite Quran everyday

Search for some jobs and college research (mostly after October/December)

Academic:

Get a 97+ % in my finals (aiming 99 or 100)

Study the lessons in the same week they're completed

Study everyday for 2 hours

Finish assignments soon as possible

Study on weekends

Extra curricular

Keep revising my Arabic

Finish a book a month

Go on my first and last field trip some how!!

Maintain this blog (duh)

Escape P.E practice (spare me)

Improvements to be made in:

English (both academic and non academic)

Confidence

Public speaking (I'm so bad at this)

Lessening screen time

"Push harder than yesterday if you want a different tomorrow."

And a reminder that higher education cannot be considered truly democratised if students can still be doomed to poverty with multiple or advanced arts and Humanities degrees...

Study Tip 5

When you're studying, most of you will probably focus more on the input. You'll take in loads of information. And i mean loads and loads of information. But do you still wonder, why am I not getting the grades for the amount of input I put in? Like, you study alot only to get mediocre grades?

Well, let me break it down...

Input is important but... output is more important.

Input is absorbing information. Committing it to memory. Remembering facts. It's a mental activity.

Output is how you communicate or display information.

Let's be honest, the teacher correcting your paper doesn't care if you studied the whole year or the whole night. They just care about finishing their task and whether you've answered the questions correctly. So, the way you communicate it is important.

When you study, give more focus on the output. If you're input is "x" amount of effort then your concentration and effort on output should be "2x".

How do you do that?

Well, after studying, spend a good amount of time recalling the information by giving the processed information back. Whether you do it by saying it aloud or writing it down or both. I prefer to say it aloud, write it down and then say it again and again. The main thing is...

What you learnt must be communicated.

It doesn't have to be through teaching. There are multiple ways. Notes. Drawing. Visuals. Mind maps. Audio recordings. Anything that works for you!

Written notes is probably the best because at the end of the day you are going to write the exam, even if you know the whole damn textbook, what you write in your exam is the only thing that counts.

So, here's the secret (which isn't a secret anymore) i use:- When you finish a topic:

Write the key words.

Say it out loud multiple times until you remember them.

Close the notes and recall. Aloud.

Repeat step 2 & 3 about 4-5 times.

Bonus: you can write the points without looking this time.

Basically... Write it. Say it. Recall it. Repeat it.

The first 2 steps are the means of inputs. You're getting information in.

The next three are outputs. You're getting the information out. See the emphasis on how you recall it aloud? It needs your 100% attention for you to remember the points. And when you repeat it, it's literally for you to process it. To let it sink in. You're less likely to forget it sooner too.

Remember. X input needs 2x output.

Whatever the output is. It needs to be multiplied.

Hope this helps! :D

Hey!! :D

Thanks, right back to you :))

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment .”

Jim Rohn 📚

Would you rather pick a university of informatics knowing that it'll be difficult to get a job (but not impossible) at the end or choose a university of economy and be assured that you'll be one of the first to be called for a job?

Hey Anon! :D

Honestly, i wouldn't pick both because one I'm not interested in getting a job in both of those fields but I do find certain papers/branches of it really fascinating.

But coming to your question, i don't really know myself. If you're asking for yourself then i would say choose a field that you actually like and are genuinely interested in or atleast have some curiousity about. It's good to consider job prospects while choosing majors but I also believe that many times what you study may not be what you actually purse.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I know many people who chose one major and ended up taking a job which wasn't even their specialization.

So in simple words: choose what you wanna do. If you wanna take informatics because of interest, then do it. If you don't wanna take it because of the limited scope in jobs. Then don't. Likewise in economics. You want it? Choose it. If you don't, then don't.

What you choose is based on your preferences and individual goals. Don't let anyone else choose for you.

Hope this helped <3

Do you think two weeks is enough for revisions for a math exam..?

Hey Anon! :D

I would say yeah, it's more than enough if you know how to manage your time and revise effectively. Personally, the time doesn't really matter much if you know how to revise well :)

Type "my gender is" on your phone and let your phone finish the sentence, then tag your moots to keep the chain going, I'll go first.

My gender is a little bit more intense than I thought I could have done

Affirmations I use before entering my exam room/hall.

This does not define your future but don't mess this up. I'm fine. I have prepared the whole year for this. I will not put it to a waste. I know more than I think I do. I am calm, focused and composed and I am certainly not panicking. I did my best. God will do the rest. Your past self is proud of you. Your future self is counting on you. An exam is nothing but a test of your knowledge. You got dreams to chase, darling. Do not be scared of something which has no power to hurt you physically. You are so close to the victory. Don't you dare give up now. I am so damn proud of trying so hard. Don't stress. Do your best. Forget the rest. There's no way that I'm going back with something that I don't like. You can do this.

Hope this helps xD

Hey any last minute revision tips for tests/exams? I always struggle with it

Hey there Anon!

First of all, during revision, I try my level best to recall everything without actually going through the topic but it's kinda difficult so glance through the topic before you close the book and recall every single point.

Revise the chapters that you know well and are confident in first because it's better to thoroughly know some specific topics than being doubtful in every single topic.

Do not, under any circumstances, start to learn a new topic during revision (unless the topic is like really really important). It will only cause you panic.

If you find yourself distracted, move around alittle.

More distractions? Act like you're a tutor or teacher.

Don't study the whole topic line by line, recall important key words and examples.

Don't set a time limit for each topic. Set time limits for the whole syllabus. (Like, if you have 12 lessons. Think you'll complete 6 of them by the afternoon, allow 2 hours grace time and viola, you now know half the syllabus completely)

Take breaks. Both the 20 mins and 20 second breaks (-> 20 sec post)

Eat some snacks in between. I personally don't prefer meals because I get really lazy and sleepy after that.

Do not call your friends to ask how much they've revised because you'll definitely panick.

Go through your material. If you don't remember a topic which you actually have studied, write short notes just beside it.

Use past question papers and practice problems.

Quiz yourself. Say your answers out loud.

If you have no idea where to start, just go from the shortest chapters because then you'll feel like you have completed some syllabus.

Lastly, whatever you do, sleep early. Atleast before 11 pm because you need to be fresh for the exam.

Basically. Recall. Summarise. Quiz. Repeat.

Hope this helped! <3

I need your opinion if you don't mind... I'm in my last year of highschool and in four days, there is going to be the responses to all the uni I applied to (if they accepted me or not...). And I don't really have a subject or a job that I really like. Don't get me wrong, I'm a very curious person and I'm interested in many things. But my main goal for a job is not my passion or the things that I like. My main goal is financial. So I'll chose my studies upon the salary that it will get me in the future. The thing is, everyone around me is telling me that I'm thinking wrong and that I'll hate my job if I chose my studies that way....idk what to do and I need your help on that. Thanks and I love your blog btw :) sorry if that was too long....

Heyy! :)

Okay so... First of all, congratulations on passing out highschool alive cause I'm serious, it's a huge milestone! Second of all, that is believe it or not, something that I can very well understand and related to.

And it's okay. Like, definitely okay to have a whole different approach for selecting your majors and jobs. Now, I'm assuming you've already have a vague idea about what major you want to choose since you've applied already.

Generally, if you've taken professional majors (medicine/law etc) then the general pay is good and higher than usual but you need to atleast have an element of interest in it since the majors itself are difficult.

If you've gotten into something that pays alittle lesser etc etc then i can suggest you to take up some part time jobs or even gain experience or develop some skills that could be helpful.

Basically, you can take up something with the idea of getting a high salary but try your best to find some amount of interest in it, make sure you won't get bored with it. (And there's absolutely nothing wrong with your pov about choosing based on the salary or pay!)

I personally think that you can experiment with your subjects and the career options cause I know many people that studied one thing and took a completely different career field. And just because you have the idea of only gaining financial security and stability from your major/job doesn't mean you'll end up hating it.

It's not about with what idea you're choosing your major, it's about how you can steer your major according to what you need and like you said, you're a curious person, you're interested in many things so i believe that you'll do good :)

And the fact that most of the time, we come to love something that we're constantly doing. Passion or interest just doesn't arise out of nowhere, sometimes force is important too and not to mention, hardwork.

Whatever you're choosing, with whatever belief, whether passion or with the idea of financial belief, it doesn't really matter because if you have a really good determination to achieve the end goal, you'll find a way to enjoy the process.

For now, I'll stress on the fact that you focus on choosing the major (if you can check what papers you're having in each semester it's better) and then after you choose your major, experiment more, like research about job opportunities in and around the field, develop skills, gain experience, explore because it's all an experiment, isn't it?

I hope you'll be content and happy with whatever you choose and don't really mind what everyone says, if you want something badly, there's no shame in working towards it. I hope i didn't confuse you even more. And I'm glad you like my blogs, i really appreciate it :)

Take care 🎭✨
