Girl I hope too. I need your help
Yay you're almost done! :) congrats! I would recommend project planning your assignments to prevent from getting overwhelmed with the workload, that's what I did in graduate school, it saved me so much time and stress.
I thought you said ASS...
Honestly I never comment on videos, but this was AMAZING. I did really well in school when I was younger because a lot of things were easy for me to pick up on, so I never actually learned HOW to study. I'm heading back to school next semester, and I can already tell which ways I'll be changing my approach to studying! THANK YOU!!!
thank u so much! this means so much
How affective has your studying been so far?
Same here!! Would love to know how you're doing, I'm going back to school in September after 4 years and omg, I'm so nervous.
I had that same problem omg! I just thought college was going to be easy 😂 smh. Over time I learned that it was still hard work, but I could create a system for myself that took the stress out of it. I don't believe college should be the most stressful time in our lives. Project planning, managing my time, and organizing my schedule really helped me enjoy school again.
Omg that’s me I never ever really studying when I was younger and now in college it’s way different
My ADHD ass can’t even have my phone on me 😬
Put it in your car people, out of sight out of mind 😩
EYY life hack of the century
Literally, I need to put it at the bottom of my bag
Have u considered stimulant medication?
Ugh I have the same problem but can’t leave my phone in my dorm bc we need them to do random class participation questions or to log into our student account 😩

Girl same! I was overwhelmed a lot, at first. Then I found a way to project plan, time manage, and organize my schedule, it definitely paid off 😄 I went from a 2.5 to 4.0 GPA, I would love to share some tips if you need an accountability partner!
@@anamarie97 hey this is so late. But I would love tips
also, if teachers have long lectures, PRINT OUT THE LECTURE if they have a pdf attachment. it will save you the hand cramps & so much time!
The Pirates of the Carribean soundtracks or any video game soundtracks are so underrated for studying. They're meant to keep you engaged and I love listening to them when I'm studying/working.
Great video. Really shows that if you want to get straight A’s, hard work isn’t enough; you also need strategy.
Winner of a video, been searching for "how to learn better in school" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Yeetta Gradeify Scores - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.

There’s only one thing in the video that I didn’t completely 100% agree with, and that is to, “Stop studying things you already know”. I studied Korean at the Defense Language Institute which is arguably the most challenging school in the DOD. One of the learning/study strategies that we were taught to utilize was the Soup Method. Basically, you treat learning like it’s a bowl of soup. You keep adding ingredients to the soup so that it’s layered in the bowl (the new material), but if you keep the soup layered like this you will only be able to taste one or a few of the ingredients. Therefore, it’s important to stir up the soup so that all of the ingredients are mixed, meaning you have to continue to go back and refresh yourself on all of the basic or old content. It doesn’t have to be a lot of studying old stuff, or stuff that you already know, just enough to refresh yourself (which I guess is mentioned in the video). But anyways, thank you for the content!!!

hey, could you please do a tutorial or video on how you use notion? i’ve heard so many good things about it, and i’ve tried it out, but it’s so hard to figure it out how to use it as a student.
yes i can!!

this is a tip that i found that helps ME so it may not work for everyone and that’s OKAY but if it works for you, then great! i’m glad i could help! so i found that prewriting my notes has been a big help. i would research what classes i would be taking and i wrote down some basic rules and principles, any equations i needed to know, and i would scratch off anything that wasn’t important or didn’t need. not only does this help you take better notes, it helps you prepare for the class so that you will be on top of it and know what your professor is talking about during class. this has also helped me during high school as well. hope this helps!
Hey! This video was really helpful. I'm a freshman at Cal right now and I'm really struggling with my grades (I'm an MCB major) and the STEM prerequisites (Chem and Calc) are really killing me. Will apply these study tips though!
You’re welcome! Goodluck!
You got this!! Through time management, planning, and organization you can exceed your own expectations! :)
Thank you so much for your tips , I'll do my best on the exam and you're so adorable xoxo.

I’m a 54 year old mom going back to school. I’m in week 4 of this semester and so far I’m doing well. I know it’s just going to get progressively harder though. I feel like I don’t know how to take notes. Do you have a video on how to take notes ?
good luck, we all believe in you!!
@@puddleduck1405 Thank you 😊

Oh my gosh, I'm finally needing A's in my classes lol. I just started to realize I need help.
Great video. I wish I could have gotten A grades in high school. But I would be a great teacher, since I could teach someone everything I know in 10 minutes.
Hiya I'm a Meteorology major! I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to not strive for perfection. I've never been a straight A student but I've always gotten like A, B, and C's and always want to do well. These tips will def help me for upcoming fall semester thank you! I didn't know about passive and active studying. I also didn't do so well my first semester as a transfer student at this new university I'm attending so I'm trying to find tips and advice into my junior year as a college student 😅

Hi, I’m a high school student and I will like to know what are the thing a college look for to choices you?
Samanta Murillo I have another video on my channel that talks about application for colleges! Check it out
I study best in a coffee shop but unfortunately we are in a pandemic sooo....
I’m on my gap year & will be enrolling into college this year . I’ve been really stressed out about how well I’ll be able to do and This actually gave really good tips , thank you
hahaha! Love your energy!!
Quick question. Do you study with time in mind or goals in mind? e.g. I need to put in 3 hours each week per subject or do you just have goal topics you want to cover each week regardless of how long it takes? Do you allot time for fun activities like going to restaurants? (I always feel guilty if I'm doing anything but studying but I know it's unrealistic to study all the time and it has diminishing returns and I'm still end up not being a straight A student. LOL!)
The way I study is with a certain objective in mind. Before I start I identify the 3 things I need to understand better and start from there. That really helps me stay focus and not zone out while I'm studying. I've identified my purpose for studying. I always aim for 45 minute session, with a quick 10 minute break in between. And yes!! You should have certain activities that are part of your self care routine! It's important for you to still find excitement and joy in your everyday routine. That's what keeps it interesting 😄 don't feel guilty at all, self care is important for your overall health and for achieving your academic goals! That was the only way I was able to get my Masters in 1 year and graduate with honors DURING the pandemic. I was able to graduate twice (undergrad and grad) with honors by project planning, time management, and organizing my schedule. You have everything you need to set yourself up for success, you got this!!
@@anamarie97 Thank you so much! 😊I really appreciate your reply. CONGRATS on your successes! 🥳 One quick question, at the end of the 45 minutes, how do you assess whether you had a good study session? Do you always do a quiz at the end and see how high you score or something similar?
@@2007tclarke Before and after my study session I looked at the learning objectives for that specific chapter. Which you should be able to find in your textbook, they may be in the beginning or very end of the chapter. I measure my progress based on how quickly and accurately I answer them! It really helped. After I did that a couple times, I would take the quizzes that are assigned for each module (which my professors made for us to track our progress as we got closer to the test). Hope that helps! :)
@@anamarie97 Ahhh, I see, I see. Yes, it does help, thank you very much! 😊
thank you so much for this ! last year, i got 3 D”S (🤠) but i need up evening it out with online school and got passing grades. this year, i want to do WAY better and organized. this is just step one and you give me so much motivation !
You got this! I used to get so overwhelmed by my classes in undergrad, some of my syllabi were over 20 pages long!! 😭 can you imagine how stressful that was lol. But as time went on I was able to achieve and maintain a 4.0 GPA, by getting organized, managing my time effectively, and project planning! I would love to share some tips if you need some accountability 😄
Incoming freshman at Cal and this was sooooo helpful 😭😭
u got this go bears!
Freshman year is so exciting, omg congratulations!! I'm curious, what are your top three goals for college? Mine were getting a 4.0 GPA, creating better work habits, and graduating with my Master's a year early :)

I’m watching so many videos like this but like math is scaring me, I’ve had a substitute which it’s not the same teacher for a month Bc of limits. So I had a substitute a whole year in 6th and 8th grade rn.
have you tried online resource? like khan academy or youtube videos? theyre both free~~
I keep hearing about people studying 10-12 hrs a day qnd i just couldn't
Great advice!!
1.5-2 hours a class? My classes are 3 hours long 😩

Don't forget. It's not the straight A students who finish first in life. Violent people finish first. Take a look at Jordan Peterson before becoming judgmental.
