    I am also a 4.0 student and every tip here is the golden key to success in education. There is just a couple things to also remember. A big tip is to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!! Never say “I can’t.” And take advantage of the college resources and breaks in between classes. I sometimes have 2-4 hours in between classes and ill go to the library or learning resource center to complete the bulk of my work. You can achieve anything if you really want to .

      Does it count to be on the deans list if I only took 9 credits over the summer? You all motivate me and I can’t wait to push myself in the fall. Hopefully another group of A’s

    I’m a freshman college student and while I might not be a straight a student this semester, knowing that others are through the same struggle and have overcome it is very inspiring and helps me push on, thank you!

    note: study idea that may or may not work, when taking notes; remember to sprinkle in good questions (easy, moderate, and hard) and when revising your notes frequently, answer the questions as if you were talking to/ explaining the topic to another person (or do) and if you’ve got extra time and you wanna fuck around (which rarely anyone has or does) you can create a powerpoint or a small presentation, presenting all that you know about the lessons you learned/ the topic (presentation can be oral, or digital, it’s up to you)

    • @ShaMichelle
      @ShaMichelle  Před rokem +2

      I would view “studying every night” through the lens that a little goes a long way! I wouldn’t look at every single thing every night but just spend no longer then an hour reviewing concepts I had difficulty understanding or memorizing. I do best with repetition so the continuous review worked well, but it’s all based on your learning style! I also would never allow my study get in the way of my social life or sleep because sleep is very important to me haha so setting certain boundaries and cutoff times will allow you the flexibility and breaks you want!
