    💗Study session
    • Have a clean study set up
    • Go to a cafe so you're more likely to get your work done. (This is optional)
    • Set the mood with music (preferably with no lyrics)
    • Make your study sessions as enjoyable as possible.
    • Wear comfy clothes
    💗Time management
    • Give yourself at least 3 days to study. Try to fit in an hour each day a week until your exam.
    • Break down what you're going to study.
    💗Notes
    • Type your notes so it’s faster. (Just to get them down).
    • When you’re studying, it’s best to rewrite your notes. (Make them shorter if possible).
    • Annotate your notes so you can engage with them.
    • Explain the topic to yourself. If you can’t explain it, go back to your notes and study it again.
    💗Breaks
    • Take breaks. Give your brain some time to rest.
    • Incorporate breaks every hour.
    • Stretch, go to the bathroom, eat, or do anything that doesn’t require a lot of focus.
    • Try to get a lot of sleep. (At least 6 hours)
    💗Remember
    • Prioritise yourself first before anything else.
    • Don’t neglect yourself for the sake of getting good grades.
    • C’s get degrees.
    • Ask yourself “How can I apply this to life”, “How can I make use of this?”
    _____________________________________
    I just wanted to take down notes ^^”
    Good luck to all of the students out there! If you’re studying for exams right now, you got this! It’s ok to not get high grades. Your grades do not define you :)

    i graduated undergrad in 2019, and i am currently in my graduate program to pursue my doctorate in PT -- i have to say that even at the graduate level, these are great tips! i agree that having more points of contact with your studies and notes is extremely beneficial, especially for long term memory. one thing i will add is to remember that * *you are worth more than your grades!!* * yes, grades are important -- but at some point, other people will stop asking you for your grades and your transcripts.... and ultimately, they won't really care. instead, they focus more on the interactions and conversations that they have with you ♡

    i'm currently on a break from college because of health issues, but i've always been grateful for your study videos because some of them make you feel bad due to how unrealistic they are. sometimes i'd watch study videos and feel like shit because my notes aren't that pretty, i can't study for that long, i'm not in an "aesthetic enough" place, etc etc. but i've noticed that with your videos i never feel that at all. you've been a real ray of sunshine for me for multiple years now and i'm sure a lot of us feel grateful to have your videos to help us or cheer us up ^_^ lots of love to you nina!

  • @PietBu
    @PietBu Před 2 lety +13

    I love that you said that studying for 3 hours is enough! With all these study youtubers I often get the feeling that I dont do enough when I „only“ study for some hours in the day but honestly I still get good grades and get done everything I need to do because I think I have a good time management. But still I sometimes think: wait I‘m not studying for 8 hours like they do.. am I doing something wrong? So thanks a lot for reminding me 💕

  • @blueside9147
    @blueside9147 Před 2 lety +1

    This is some solid advice. I got my undergrad degree in 2013, and this fall I will be in my final year of grad school. I think pacing yourself and allowing yourself breaks is key.

  • @ingridpensadoevans1588

    you´ve come up in my recommended videos a couple of times and this is the first time i actually watch one and let me tell you i felt so so comfortable watching this video, like i can't understand why but you made me feel like a friend was giving advise to me. This was my first time watching your videos and i'm pretty sure it won´t be the last

I even got an INC at the processing of grades. I learned those lessons in a hard way and i want to solve them for this year. Thats why i came to your video and others to gather advises to know what went wrong and how i couldve prevent them and myself to be neglected at the end. Im truly thankful for your advice ate(older sister) nina! I manifest for this year to build my studying foundation and learn a lot as i go forward!
