REMINDER: JUST BECAUSE THE TITLE SAYS, “LAZY,” YOU DON’T HAVE TO STUDY AT ALL. THAT’S INCORRECT. I’m not the “model student” everyone wanted to be, but these made my grades better.

High school is the best thing that happened in my life. I don’t know about the others’, but it’s the most fun part of being a teenager.

These tips are kind of weird in a way. Please do take note that these tips worked for me when I was in high school, but I’m not quite sure if it will work for you as well. Not sure if this will work for college also. Just want to share, I guess.

Discipline and time management. Make the good things you do become your habit.

Know the perfect time and place for you to study. You know yourself better than anyone else. Relax yourself first as you get home. Watch anime, series you like, play some music, draw, take a nap, run. Don’t let stress take over you. Alarming your phone in that ‘study time’ will be helpful as well.

Test yourself on what kind of learner you are. My research teacher let us take this exam to know ourselves and make our grades better. And heck, now I know what to do to understand everything that I’m learning. I’m putting the test links here: (x), (x). There are a lot more online tests around, but here’s the easiest and quick. Tell me what you got! I’m a visual learner.

Get lots of sleep. At least 8 hours (I say, as I only got 5 hours of sleep in those days.) This is the most important thing. At least try your best to sleep a lot or else you’ll get a headache throughout the day and you will not be able to be attentive.But don’t overdo it! If you sleep too long, then you’ll feel sleepy in class, too. That’s bad.

Know your lessons and topics and lectures as if you’re going to be the teacher of your classmates. Teach them if they question you about it. Draw them the diagrams, write the keywords on a paper like you memorized them last night and give it to them. If they get a high score as well in the test and they thank you for that as if saying, “Thanks to you, I got this good score!” then that’s a bonus. That’s the best feeling ever!

Experiment. Those studying tips that are telling you to do this and that so you can memorize the thing better? Use sticky notes? Use washi tapes? Try, good, but get to know yourself on how to make your own system. Not every single thing you see on Tumblr or articles throughout the internet will work for you. Sure, the system works for them, but how about you?If you’re flexible enough, then maybe you can do the system as a habit.

Know your teacher’s style of teaching. This is a bit difficult to explain but I guess you got the hint. Get to know them and observe how they teach you and your classmates. Be attentive. Do they get the questions from the book? From a site? Do you need to give extra attention in their class? And many more.

Finish your tasks no matter how lazy you are to do so. At least try. Find inspiration. I once attended a leadership seminar and the speaker talked about accepting responsibilities and tasks as a leader, and he said that you should accept them because they give them to you because they know that you can do it. They gave it to you because you’re good at it–no, the best to do the task. This comes with group works as well. The leader gave this task to you so that the “product” of your work will be the best. So don’t complain all the time. It doesn’t help, I tell you.

Surround yourself with people who like/pressured/grade conscious people who can be happy-go-lucky at the same time.Yes, there are people who are like that. But why? You’ll get pressured to study as well. Be stressed with school together. We’re all in this together, dude!

Do what you enjoy. Remember this. You like watching tv? Do it. Going to Tumblr? Do it. Don’t force yourself saying, “Doing these things will bring my grades down so I won’t do this,” because that’s wrong. Do what you like in a CERTAIN SCHEDULE. Don’t just stop doing something that you love just because you think that grades are everything because no. You’re young. School is just a part of your life and it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Have a crush on someone. Well, wow. It worked for me when I’m in school, believe it or not. Find someone you like. Make your crush an inspiration for you to go to school / uni because they are going to be there and you’ll see them. Finish your homework and notes and studies everyday with thinking that, “Tomorrow, this person will be there and I’ll see them in my class. I’ll make them proud of me and recite in discussions and finish this test with a BAM. I’ll get the highest score. I know about this topic a lot. It’s my time to shine.” And it will be like hitting two birds with one stone: 1) Your crush will probably notice you as a hardworking, bright student (oh my) and 2) You get high grades. So get them! I’m not very sure about getting into relationships, though, since I have never been in one. However, I had these two classmates who got the best of test scores all of a sudden when they got into a relationship because they have a reason to go to school and study a lot! Remember rule #1. Make sure that you are disciplined to do this or else you will get distracted from your studies. Relationships and crushes are cool, but don’t let them get in the way of your academia.

last week’s bullet journal spread, legend, indexing key, and reading list!!

notebook: large blank moleskine pens: staedler fineliners, delistar 0.5

(12.07.2015)

1. It’ll get tough. Really fucking tough. You already knew that. But that’s life, accept it. Put away the books for an hour, drink some tea, cuddle your pets, stare at the ceiling, watch some Youtube videos, and then finish your homework. 2. There will be a lot of days where you wanna quit or can’t get out of bed. Don’t call in sick and don’t drop out. You can do this, you can survive this year like all the others. 3. Enjoy learning new things. Knowledge is power, knowledge is sexy. 4. Don’t pay attention to others, you are here for you, nobody really pays attention to others anyway. 5. Be nice to teachers and help fellow students. Kindness makes life so much easier. 6. ASK THINGS. Ask the most stupid questions and ask the hardest. Just ask anything you want to know. Teachers think you’re dumb? Fuck them. Students laugh at you? Fuck them. YOU need to pass that class and YOU need that degree. 7. Make your lunch the evening before if you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. Breakfast helps you start up your day. If you don’t have time to eat at home, make some for in class. 8. Go to bed early. A good night’s rest is everything. It’ll make getting out of bed a lot easier. 9. Always carry a water bottle with you. ALWAYS. 10. Take a deep fucking breath. It’s all going to be okay. Take a few steps back and look at your situation with a clear view. Realize how far you’ve come already. Be proud of yourself. Celebrate small victories. You are doing okay.

10 steps on how to survive another year of school. (via everything-studyblr)

A good morning with my tea, music and math. Determined to get things done today!!

New post on the blog! I haven’t posted this kind in a while, but they seem to be so popular I think I’ll start doing it again :)

5 Habits of Organized Students | Study-Hack

Read the post for more details and helpful links!

today i just realized… i’m starting school next week! i know a lot of people have already started and others still have a little while to wait, but either way i thought i’d put together a little thing to get you all jazzed for the new school year because for some reason, i’m not really feelin’ it.

week(s) before you start school:

make a de-stress box!!

i plan on making a post about this within the week but… here are a few basic tips until then.

use a card board box- shoe boxes work best

include things that help you calm down when you’re upset/stressed

CD’s, special notes, soft pieces of fabric, face masks, temporary tattoos, maybe even a movie.

it’s also pretty calming to decorate the outside of your box with stickers, a collage, or just with paints and markers.

start a journal (or a bullet journal if you’re into it)

do some general research on new study methods

start fixing up your sleeping schedule

exercise 2x a week, then carry your new habit into the school year (even if you have a gym class! exercising on your own is soooo important)

(obviously) go school supply shopping!!! (make sure you only get general items though, teachers can sometimes be specific about what they want you to have for their class.)

diy your school supplies. it’s always super fun to buy cheap supplies and then customize them. make covers for your notebooks, tape or paint your pencils, or tie-dye your pencil bag.

the day before:

sleep in, it’s your last day of freedom

pack your backpack (if you haven’t already)

use a face mask

do some yoga

relax. it’s all gonna be great

go to sleep early

the first day

meet your teachers!

reconnect with your friends

ask questions

supplies

the syllabus (or if there isn’t one, ask for a general over view. most likely (if you’re in high school) they’ll talk a lot about expectations, but you should have time at the end of each class to talk

bring a water bottle. if you think you’ll be nervous (i know i will), sucking/chewing on a straw and carrying a bottle or just something to hold on to will help

the weekend after:

use your de-stress box!

do some yoga. it will help, i promise

don’t feel pressured to hang with friends right off the bat- jumping back into being social everyday from being social once a week (or less), (like me) can be a little daunting. take time for yourself.

read something, books can be a great way to wind down

your teachers (if you’re in high school) probably haven’t given out any assignments. if anything, maybe some in-class work, but nothing too awfully important. use this “free” time to maybe do some general research for topics at your teachers mentioned would be covered. this can be a great way to understand things better when you go more in depth in class

documentaries are great ways to learn about a topic without getting too awfully intense.

go school supply shopping again!! now buy the things your teachers request you have for their classes. these things can include fancy calculators, binders of a certain size, etc.
