me: tries to take pretty notes
teacher: *becomes eminem*
@@nidhidattani the teacher talks really fast so i can’t write pretty
Yes lol😂
I suggest not making your notes “pretty” during a lecture. Instead use your scribble powers to create sloppy but legible notes, then after class you can make them look nicer when you get home
Piage Fabez yup the point of making notes during class is just to take the important points, no need to make pretty ones. You should be making those notes neater during free time.
XDDDDDDD
"aesthetic does not increase study efficiency"
*the sad but honest truth sometimes*
I feel like not enough people get this though? There are girls at my school who have the most aesthetic notes, and so I would use them to study last year (i didn't write notes then), and I would notice a lot of info missing while I went through my textbook/ class material. Also none of those girls would acc study from their notes, just write them- like- people really need to get that notes need to cover content more than just look pretty and you acc need to use them to revise smh
I think aesthetic with five different pens and twelve different highlighters and colored drawings are a bit too time consuming. I mean, if it helps you study go off, but it’s a bit too much for me. Anyway, a black pen, black brush pen for titles if you do calligraphy or a simple colored marker and one highlighter makes the notes aesthetic as well as easy and efficient. Plus, you can highlight the topics at any time, it doesn’t even have to be while you’re writing. Also, people who write clearly in class and then again write the same thing at home confuse me. Like, I get if you are summarizing the thing or adding additional notes on it, but copying it A-Z? But again, like I said, if you feel like it helps you, go off.
For me it kinda helps cuz if it looks pretty then i wanna look at it and rewriting notes helps me remember but i think that’s just me
Neat and aesthetic writing does help
@@aranihiritharan7465 Honestly, it just needs to look neat enough to be legible. Which I struggle a lot with sometimes since I get lazy, ahaha, and just scribble down notes which I can’t read later.
the fact that she can free hand a star without having the lines in the middle, already makes me wanna subscribe
Wait so some people can't? This is new to me :o
@@ravellicia well, i can’t, they always turn out weirdly shaped
@@ladidaa579 oh I feel you, it's so hard to make it perfect
Sameee
Ikr, sometimes I even fail at the stars with the lines in the middle 😅
Step one: Have neat handwriting
**drops pen on the floor and scrunches paper into ball**
Just practise everyday it's that easy. Re-learn writing the entire alphabet again
hey! i have this issue too :) i have some tips for you
1-look ahead! especially with online classes, or even if you have access to a syllabus or know the textbook, you can guess or find out the topic of the next lecture/thing you need to take notes on. I usually find this, then write out the title beforehand, and if there are any guiding questions or outlines. I'll write them and the top and number them like a table of contents, so i can just number as the information switches topics. (For example, my arch professor always has the slides up early, so i can go and copy his outline and main question. or, in my history class, I'll take notes on the reading, and then set up a sorta outline for the lecture that will follow that.
2- leave lots of space! don't be afraid to leave a ton of space (If you have room), this will make it easier to read. If you don't have space, try stapling another paper and having extra on hand. Or, use sticky notes
3- rewrite! its a lot of work and I by no means do it everytime, but if you know they're going to be important then maybe give em a rewrite. This means you can restructure it, correct any mistakes, add drawings/diamgrams, or just make it flow better.
Hope this helped!
"Is this an r or n?"
maybe you could try different pens? my handwriting just matters of the pen and my mood
you don’t have to have “neat” handwriting. as long as your notes as legible and help you to study, that’s all that matters 💕
0:38 titles
- 1:01 use a nice thick juicy and crisp black marker
- 1:12 you could use a coloured marker
- 1:30 try a couple of quick and easy ways to change up your handwriting (e.g. cursive, tall thin capital letters (1:48))
2:03 addons
- 2:09 squiggly line underneath text
- 2:15 draw a rectangle around your words
- 2:31 draw two horizontal bars using a highlighter or the thick side of a marker
- 2:52 highlight underneath your text (a coloured in box)
- 2:58 add two cute little symbols on either side of the text
- 3:09 draw a banner
5:11 stationary swaps (don't need to focus too much on this section if you haven't masteredyour actual notetaking methods)
- 5:28 making the swap from taking notes in pencil to writing them in black pen
- 6:10 use pastel highlighters instead of neon highlighters (or you could use crayola supertips which have some nice pastels in them)
- 6:28 opt for thinner tipped highlighters instead of thicker ones when you can (maybe for people with smaller handwriting)
- 6:44 try to find paper with lighter or thinner lines on it
6:57 formatting
- 7:15 leave a lot of white space
- 7:23 folding your page in half and writing in two columns instead of one
- 7:38 a dot circle bullet point looks better than a dash
- 7:48 if you have a long line of text that goes onto the next line below it then make sure that the start of the second line starts where the first line of text starts, not where the bullet point is
8:14 visual aids
- 8:36 decorate with stickers
- 8:46 print out diagrams whenever possible
- 8:56 print out various templates for what subject you're studying (e.g. polar coordinates - you could print out polar graphs or for organic chemistry then you can print out hexagon sheets)
- 9:11 print out pictures that are relevant to the subject material
REMEMBER AESTHETIC DOES NOT EQUAL EFFECTIVE STUDYING

So underrated!!
Thank you
Thanks for the time stamps!!
Thank you!

And when you get a new notebook and it’s all pretty and you’re like “iM gOnnA wRiTe nEatLy AnD uWu cUtElY”
Two pages in: *”is that an S or a B… maybe an M?”*
@@hi-dx5hs YES that is so accurate and at the end of the year i don''t even bother w notes
or spell
A tip from something I did in high school: write titles and that sort of thing on pencil. When you are done taking notes, get home, revise and fix the title with pretty pens.
that is-
THANKK YOUU
GIRL ILY 😭💕
I like doing that too. But for me, the location in class and the notes are usually imprinted together in my mind and easier to recall... So I'm torn 😭😭
you know what? that's not half bad, i should try that
TYSM for this bestie!

ok valid tho, me in my latin american history class is like _genocide, colonization, and exploitation_ 😬
or that one meeme that the notes were talking about slavery but they made it all aesthetic and it came out as “✨❤️ _slavery!_ ❤️✨”

"takes 5 seconds and literally 0 talent" this sound like my true calling
Same. Our destiny beckons us!
Y'all, stop letting a not so great handwriting discourage you. I worked a lot on my handwriting in quarantine and it has improved a lot. There are free worksheets and yt tutorials, you just need to practice it.
You can definitely do it too!!
Since I was doing online school last year, I had complete control over my schedule so I tried to take nicer notes. I always tried to limit myself to 1 full page for each lesson (which was a mistake, but I was running out of room in that notebook). My archeology, marine biology, and engineering and technology lessons had the worst way of making us take mastery tests (basically you needed to write down every single little detail otherwise you’d fail) so I started writing extremely small. I actually bought a magnifier to read some of my extremely tiny writing on the very edges of the pages. After 2-3 months of that, I kinda just gave up and started taking pictures of the slides (I’m working on getting better at not procrastinating but it’s a lot) and saying I’d write it down later, which I never did. In summary, I’ve done very little writing over quarantine and I regret it. Unfortunately for me, school start tomorrow. I’m definitely going to work on it as much as I can to at least get it back to what it looked like before lockdown, which was decent enough. Maybe not perfect, but I’ll keep working on it.
@@lottapitchy9625why not get a new notebook?
Yeah. I'm tired of those comments. Like... Just make it legible and neat.
"Once you get used to using white out instead of an eraser..."
I am so used to just crossing out my mistakes that I don't even erase my mistakes on pencil

NO CUZ THIS
Jazzy: print out diagrams so you don't have to draw them yourself.
My teachers: I will deduct 5 marks from your test results if you will stick something into your notebook, i NeEd A hAnD-dRaWn DiAgRaM
F
that's where tracing comes in
cbse schools be like :')
Trace it out
trace the diagrams but dont let twitter know
To make it easier to take notes, I recommend having one notebook for class that has all of your quickly written notes for when your teacher turns into Eminem, and then a second one where you rewrite the notes in an aesthetically pleasing way. This way you don't waste time trying to make them pretty and miss info, but can still have easy to understand notes
That's also really helpful for revision because by rewriting the notes, you'd be going over them again.
My psychology prophesor told us to do this thing called "flip learning" where we write our notes before class in our own time at our own pace so when we get to class we understand the content and keep up and not fall behind. It's pretty useful.
teachers love those eminem techniques 😂 too painful to catch up sometimes with the missed information 😢
I'm actually glad that most of my teachers use a powerpointpresentation and send the presentation to us afterwards
Yeah I hate it when they don't because they usually contain important info which I can't find anywhere else....
@@FlaringMatrix I know!! My teachers probably works really hard to make those presentations but then they never send it to us later on 😭
“literally 0 talent” okayy let’s try lol i got no talent
Ur not alone ,😅 😔
You're calling me out here
Stop telling yourself its unhealthy
Try to find your talent. You probably haven't looked enough.
STUDY TIP: ✨Have you guys noticed that you study better when you’re not at home or school? I was waiting in the lounge at a Toyota store and I finished a homework assignment and I can remember all the research I did for the assignment! When I want to remember the information i think about sitting on this particular chair in this room. Turns out that our brain associates certain information with the place where you learned it and makes a subtle connection. When you need to remember something, just think of the place and what you were feeling when you remembered studying it and the answer will come too you. That’s why listening to different music and changing your study environment each time will help with memory recall. Lofi music with a memorable and detailed picture is even better (in my opinion)
Summary for myself:
1. Titles, make them stand out by writing in capital letters and/or writing in colorful markers.
2. Stationary swaps, master your note-taking methods first. Supplies doesn't help you organize your notes, only YOU do. Get a pen that's comfortable to write.
3. Formatting, leave white spaces in between writings whenever you see fit. Fold your paper vertically in half, you'll save some space. Dot bullet points are more pleasing to look at (imo). If the bullet point is VERY long, line the 2nd line with the bullet point so it looks more neat.
4. Visual aids, you don't need to go all out and make it a masterpiece. Decorate it with stickers, print out pictures to stick it in your notes/a seperate notebook (don't use too much glue, it'll destroy the paper).
Just wanted to let you know I’ve started Calligraphy and Journaling because of you. Thank you Jasmine.
Two recommendations: dipping your highlighter in water for a really short amount of time helps to make it less neon, and using gel pens, and multicolored pens are much better.
You could also buy pastel highlighters instead of the neon ones!☺️
@@beauaimee8381 their point is if you don’t want to buy the pastel ones just make it lighter yourself
here's a tip blue helps you remember things :)
I love neon highlighters because they make the text stand out lol
@@beauaimee8381 🤦♀️
SHE IS A QUEENNNN, SHE PUT IN WHAT SHE IS USING TO FULL-ON WHAT SHE IS WEARING IN THIS VID
I never got to learn cursive in school, which is something really sad. I've tried to teach myself but it never works out, except for my name and a few other letters.
I really hate how they taught us cursive in school. The literally gave us 5 minutes at the beginning of ever class to learn how to write letters and after we passed the test we never did it again. I’ve tried to continue learning but I wish that they had made us continue to practice and stuff.
In our school we are made to write in cursive handwriting so even today I do it
In my school district my school taught us to write cursive in 3rd grade and writing in cursive for everything was mandatory until 6th grade. Cursive is useful for fancy titles or poster projects and signatures, but most people use print for everything else anyway. If you’re struggling with cursive, maybe try cursive writing templates? Ik that’s what my teachers used to help teach us and then later we just had to keep practicing to see it get better progressively.
We always had to write in cursive since 1st grade till 5th grade. Then we could write however we wanted, but we were never taught how to write classic print in school.
Homeschooler pro tip: find a homeschool bookseller in your area (they exist) and ask for handwriting workbooks for children. Homeschoolers are obsessed with teaching cursive, lol. I even wrote in cursive for my grad school comprehensive exams 😂😂😂
Pro tip for lefties: try out the pilot frixion highlighters, markers, and pens! There are nice pastel options, they are erasable using friction and heat, and they don't smudge like pencils and regular pens (because the ink is drier to allow for erasing later). The ink of the black ballpoint pen is a softer black but still darker than pencil. This does mean that you will have to replace the ink more often, but it's so worth it for aesthetic notes that aren't covered in smudges and can be erased if there are mistakes 😊

Thank you! I'm starting high school in a week, so I'm really nervous. I just realized this year that I want to make my notes more neat. It looks really nice when you have the whole page decorated but also filled with information.
Gl!!!! I just finished my first year of high school but since it was (basically) all online my second year is throwing me into the pit that is on-campus school and I'm very nervous
Me on the first day of school: I’m gonna draw lines with the ruler and change a million different pens for each topic
Me on the last day of school: randomly scribbles in my note
P.S. this video was so informative. Thanks for sharing:)
That’s so like me
by the end I don't even take notes, I just end up scribbling and underlining on the study materials haha

My old school made us have THICK colour pencils and we had to do coloured (cursive) titles, themed borders, and cursive fountain pen writing. I've gotten used to it now haha
thank you for this! i love that these are just general tips and tricks. a lot of similar videos that i’ve watched bust out hardcore calligraphy or super expensive supplies and feel so impossible and unrealistic.
I'm living for the editing!!! ♥✨

pretty much learned this aesthetic of effective note-taking while in the process of having note-taking marathons at school and even during online classes.
Also, off-black colors can make your notes less plain than just using black pens.
Your editing skills are editastic
Way to go girl! 👏🏻
tip: i take the notes in class not caring about how it looks but for what is written. When i come home, i write them again in a more aesthetic and nice way, so i have cleaner notes and I study while I do it :)
This is exactly what I do and suggest as well. It gets hard to keep up with the teacher if they are talking fast, but if I just jot down all the important stuff, no matter how messy, I can still read my handwriting and re-write it...
@@evasmojang yes exactly !!
My favorite professors post the PowerPoint/note outline guides and then supplements them in class. Well, back when I attended a B&M school. I now go to school online and don’t have traditional professors. My CI doesn’t instruct, they’re just there for any support or guidance as we self-pace.

Thanks for the video. I like the nature background and the tips. The editing is cool too! I can’t wait to see more of your videos
I also enjoy your 2nd channel. I mostly watch this one though
why did I just realize that she dyed her hair ;-; its stunning
What always helped me study when going to Uni is taking quick notes within the classes. Of course I’d try to make sense of them and put it down somehow organized, but not caring too much about the look. The real first time studying them is transferring the notes over to a notebook that I’d try to make more aesthetic. I’d used to look into the notes I put in my notepads, on the script and textbook if those existed. That helped me keep track of what we already did throughout the module/class and would come in handy when I wrote them again one last time for studying for the final exam. That always worked well for me!!
I needed this RN!! Thank you!!
This new year I am going to apply this tips.. these were literally the best💞😊

Advice for efficient study:
-Only take notes on important re-occurring matters and try to listen to the teacher talking and comprehend, rather than writing stuff down.
-Ask questions.
-2 highlighters are enough, me personally, I use 0
-If your teacher does not allow pen, use a black colored pencil.
-Be smart
