{how to maintain good notes}

1. Come to class with a legal pad, a pencil or pen, and a highlighter.

use only these materials to jot down lecture notes

don’t worry about formatting or how neat it looks

your notes only need to be legible and somewhat organized

you can mess up on graphs/charts/diagrams

Why? The legal pad is as simple as notebooks get. You can rip out pages, you can write upside down. One pencil and one highlighter means you won’t spend any time trying to make your notes look pretty. That doesn’t matter now. The only thing you need to focus on during a lecture is writing down the important information.

2. After class, revisit your notes and copy it into your notebook.

you have as much time as you need to format your notes exactly how you want

writing something down twice helps you remember it later

seeing the same thing a second time makes you ask questions about the material

helps you study now so that you have less review to do at exams

Why? I know many of you are perfectionists, so when you make a mistake on a diagram, you feel compelled to rip out the page or quit all together. Copying it into a nice notebook forces you to find the best way to format your notes and digest the lecture materials. You will have an organized notebook to refer back to when studying for exams and finals.

3. Create a table of contents and number the pages.

4. Print charts/graphs/diagrams and paste them into your notes.

excellent precision and accuracy

on scratch paper (or your legal pad!) try to recreate the diagrams as best as possible – use this to study

I hope these tips will help you keep your notebook neat and organized!

I really wish my Chem study was as neat as psych was last week.

I find that putting the things I need to learn on my window makes me open my window giving me a more positive study space and by using sticky notes the colours correspond with certain areas (plus they stick better to the window than brick walls).

not up to buying stabilo or staedtler? restricted access to resources? this post might help!

credit to studyception and ray over at fistudy for helping out with this post, because figuring out brands, stores, and prices in america is easier when you have a friend in america to talk to.

** note: i’m an upper class teenager, and i’m not an authority on what is/isn’t cheap. i also haven’t tried all of the things on here.

supplies

walmart has cheap five-star notebooks that are $1-2

at target 1-subject 5-star notebooks are $1.97, 3-subject is $3.87, 5-subject $5/6

also, five-star folders there are ~$2

do not use moleskines, especially if you can’t find them cheap, and i can’t say moleskines are often cheap. they are not worth their price.

a spiral or composition notebook works fine – compositions have sturdier spines, but spirals’ pages are easier to turn or tear out if they’re not perforated, so keep that in mind.

mead composition notebooks at target are $0.50

papermate flair pens can be found at costco, among other places. they’re $12 for a pack of 14 and are quite pretty. also, they’re better quality than stabilo — more ink, bleeds less.

dollar tree. you won’t find anything fancy there, but you don’t need fancy. use dollar tree.

don’t worry about brand names as long as it’s quality. yes, muji is expensive.

don’t buy those sets of 20 colored pens. if you’re into color coding, you need, what, 4-7 colors? three different shades of red isn’t necessary.

or if you don’t want a bunch of colors at all, go with blue and black and maybe a highlighter.

if looking for basic pens with black ink, do not bother with anything fancy just get one of those packs of 10 gel pens that are for like $2 or something (they better have these in the usa)

paperback books are cheaper. just make sure to treat them well.

free sat/ap prep materials here

english class: for finding novels (need that book for english?), tuebl has free epubs, you just need to know how to search it (there’s no viruses, though!). if you can’t read epubs because of the format, then download the epub and convert it to pdf (or another format). if you need a hard copy, book depository can be cheap but isn’t free.

if you need a laptop or tablet cheap, like <$100 cheap, pls try reading this post!!

for color coding, walmart and staples sell sets of four colored pens for $2-3 each

like the kipling 100 case? this is similar and $9 to kipling’s $40

advice

if you have a job or too many activities and get home late, squeeze in studying when you can – breaks between classes, at lunch, whatever you’ve got. if you’ve got a free period, use it. a’s before baes.

also, sometimes overworking yourself is your only option, especially if you’re short on time. do your best to prevent it — remember to eat something, don’t procrastinate, don’t get distracted.

want to use the pomodoro technique for studying, but you don’t have a computer or phone? use any clock you have and mark down the times on a piece of paper

if you want to minimize the amount of supplies: pens. highlighters. paper + cheap notebooks. i don’t recommend much else

workspaces

to be a studyblr, you do not need a pretty workspace (or even have one, use the floor, dinner table, couch, whatever), but if you want one, here’s some cheaper ways of keeping your workspace looking nice!

don’t clutter — put your paper in stacks, and if you have drawers/cabinets, use them

but if you don’t have too many papers put them in folders or binders

if you have boxes small enough to do so but large enough to hold your clutter, put the extra papers + stuff you don’t need often but may need later in the boxes and shove them under the desk.

containers help, esp. for pens, but they cost money. try using cups — the tiny, flimsy disposable ones will tip over for sure, but you can put smaller things like tape or erasers in there. bigger, more stable ones for pens.

want decorations? try making paper flowers [x x x x x] or glitter jars [x x x x x]. put up drawings if you’ve got the space.

buy washi tape if you can use up money on something pointlessly pretty, michael’s has so many varieties, and they’re $1-2 each. target also has some with thicker rolls, but it’s more expensive + less variety. costco has some as well! i’m recommending it for decorating. as far as its function as tape, you can use it as a label, but don’t try to actually hold anything together with it.

don’t like the look of those pen containers? add a strip of washi tape around the brim. put it on boring notebook covers. loop it through some paper clips and use that as bookmarks. you can try this [x] for inspiration, but it’s buzzfeed and i don’t recommend you try to washi tape your car or use it as wallpaper. some other suggestions: [x x x x x x]

(hint: yes, we use filters. photo editing is a thing.)

highlight your notes omg if you want to spend hours rewriting them to look pretty, that’s awesome, but highlighters will work

software

sometimes it’s easier to do things online than wasting paper or notebooks on it! means less stuff to carry around with you, too.

however, not everyone owns a macbook (or even has their own computer), so i tried to post sites that can be accessed across all computers and aren’t mac-only.

here, some websites — wolframalpha and mathway, and you can google some math things!

sparknotes will probably save you at some point

check your writing for things like cliches, passive voice, adverbs, etc, or just for grammar with:

prowritingaid editminion hemingwayapp autocrit spellcheckplus

search engines: ipl, orion’s arm (for science), ecoasia (save trees!), library of congress (about the usa), sweet search

also, if you don’t want to buy a planner/sticky notes/whatever that involves to-do lists, try todoist - available on the web, ios, android, chrome, firefox, windows, and os x / or wunderlist - available on windows, mac, android, iphone, ipad, windows phone, chromebook. i’m fond of both!

create citations with bibme or easybib

need somewhere quiet to study and don’t have much of a workspace? find uncrowded places in your area with avoidhumans

microsoft word costs so much money. use libre office. it’s free and basically the same thing. or try openoffice.

if you need to use public computers (there are probably some at your library or something): get a gmail account and use google chrome. when you’re using it, log into the account. bookmark all the things you need. as long as you log into that account when you get on a computer, those bookmarks will be with you, as well as your browser data/settings.

speaking of syncing across computers, evernote is cool for notetaking & google drive is your friend

BIOLOGY STUDENTS

LOOK:

BIONINJA. It’s as cool as it sounds. BioNinja is a compilation of biology resources (specifically for IB) including outlines, videos, and powerpoints. Awesome. My favorite part, however, are the quick reference sheets! They are perfect for reviewing.

To get to the reference sheets, click “Additional Resources” (as seen above)

And then click the “Biology Quick Reference Guides” (or click here)

and it will open a complete list of EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW FOR THE BIOLOGY TEST. (HL and SL!) How cool is this?????

Each topic is linked to a one page reference sheet!

I’M OFFICIALLY OBSESSED WITH THESE. I’m currently rewriting them all to study for next year! If you don’t want to rewrite them, it would also be awesome to have them printed out in your binder or folder to study from!

My Bullet Journal! An In-Depth Guide

It has been HIGHLY requested for me to do a full, in-depth guide or post about my bullet journal.. so here it is! I’m new to my bullet journal as well, so I’m sure as I go I’ll learn more and more about it and figure out little things that work for me, but for right now, here’s what I do!

As I said before, my “style” for this bullet journal was inspired by another studyblr: staticsandstationary. The top banners and such are all from her styled bullet journal. They looked fairly simple and I thought that they would work perfectly for me as well! I will list all of the materials that I use at the end of this post, and if you have questions as to where the stickers are from, just send me a message and I will try and link you right to it!

I’m going to go through it with you section-by-section, so I hope this is helpful! I plan on doing a video on this next week as well, if that’s something you guys are interested in.

 Photo 1: Legend and Index

When you first open my bullet journal, this is what you see! On the left is my legend. This includes all of the different types of bullets I have and what they mean, and then a few color variations for personal things and work things. When it comes to school work, I use different colors for different subjects, but I plan on creating separate legends on a page at the beginning of each semester.

On the right side is the beginning of my index. This is something I keep going throughout the use of my bullet journal. Every time I enter into a new month, I put the page numbers for the end of the previous month and the beginning of the new month. It seems silly, but the further you get into your journal, the much more convenient it will be to have in order to find certain pages.

Photo 2: Index and Fall Schedule

Here is my next page. On the left is a blank area where I plan to continue the index. I wasn’t sure how much space I would need for the index or whether or not I would do subcategories within each month, so to be safe, I included a second page.

On the right side is my class schedule for the Fall. In hindsight, I would have liked to include this later in my journal, probably in the month of August, which is the month that this schedule will begin. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20, right?

Photo 3: April Monthly View and Expenses

On the left is April’s monthly view. I go down the line and put the numbers for the date as well as the first letter of the day of the week. It helps me keep track of things at a glance. This month only has beginning at the 15th, because that’s when I started my bullet journal. I used different colors for different courses (this was around finals time). I didn’t include those in my legend because they were the same colors I’d been coordinating with all semester, so I knew them by heart and didn’t feel the need to include them. Pink still accounts for my personal tasks and events and orange is work-related things.

On the right begins the expenses. This is for the month of April only. I sort all of my expenses per month because I find that it makes it much easier to flip to your most recent expenses. I don’t have a key for the colors in this either.. but oh well. For these, I have three different colors: green, blue, and orange. Green means that it was a reasonable and unavoidable expense (groceries, gasoline, etc.). Blue means that it was a fairly reasonable expense but not 100% necessary. It’s my in-betweeny. Orange means that it could have been avoided (fast food, impulse buys, etc.). I created a chart where I put the item on the left and the price on the right.

Photo 4: May Monthly View and Expenses

Here is May’s monthly view and expense page. Yes, I skipped past some pages for April’s daily calendar. I will show you those for May.

Photo 5: May Monthly Spread

Here is the first weekly spread for the month of May. I create these to-do lists as I go, usually the night before. As you can see on Friday, when I go shopping, I include the shopping list of the things that I purchased on a post-it note and I leave it on that particular day. This way, I can keep track of when I bought certain items.

This is also when I started incorporating my stickers (:

Photo 6: May Monthly Spread

Here is another weekly spread.

Photo 7: May Monthly Spread and June Monthly View

Here begins the monthly view for June. Yes, I planned ahead for you guys to kind of give a better example. This monthly spread obviously doesn’t have a lot going on yet. As I go through the month, I’ll add things to the monthly view. I don’t keep everything in the monthly view, obviously. Just large events or things tI need to remember at a broader glance.

Again, if you have any questions as to where any of the stickers are from, don’t hesitate to message me!

Photo 8: June Expenses and June Weekly Spread

This is my most recent page. Obviously, June 1st is about a week off. I planned ahead here so I could show you what I have been doing. I got a few questions about planning ahead. What if you have tasks you know that you need to get done on a future date? What do you do to remember them? I actually haven’t mastered this yet. I still use my Lily Pulitzer agenda for that. I keep all of my to-do lists for future dates in there, and then when it’s time to fill out my bullet journal, I refer to it and go from there. for now, I’ve been planning on things that I need to do when I get back from Florida. Those things are in pencil on the bottom right (if you can see it!). I wanted to include that as a little tip. You can always use pencil or post-its and erase and remove them later!

I hope this was helpful for all of you guys!

Here’s a list of the supplies that I use:

Moleskine Large Squared Hardcover Journal

BIC Cristal Pens (Bold for Colors)

Stickers - Ask me!

6/9/2016 I was in Portland OR for a few hours and stopped by Powel’s to get two books. The Micron, charcoals, and notebook are from an art store in my town. I then sat outside and started my first bullet journal. I am really enjoying journaling.

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.

5 Tips when it comes to Mind Mapping

1) Decide on your paper size Before you start writing anything it’s really important to work out what size paper you want to do your mindmap on. Be it A3, A4, A5 or any other size you can think of, deciding this early on will make things much easier in the long run and leave you with a much more organised mind map

2) Work out the basics Before you actually start writing anything it’s a really good idea to work out the basics of your mind map. What type of bubble do you want the title to be in? Spiky or a cloud or just a plain circle? What kind of lines to you want leading off from it? Arrows or just plain lines? Straight or curved? Taking 30 seconds to work these out before you start will make everything much easier in the long run and leave you with a much neater and better organised mind map

3) Choose what to write with This part is all down to personal preference. Do you prefer writing in a plain colour and then highlighting later? Do you want each section in a different colour? Felt tips or biros? Fineliners or pencils? This is the time when you can think about what you’re most comfortable writing with and what’s going to make it easiest for you to retain the information

4) Add pictures and diagrams Adding little drawings to aid your explanations is a really great way to help you remember what you write. You don’t have to be good at art to make this work, just add a few little diagrams here and there and you’ll be surprised how much more easily you retain the information

5) Have fun with it You may be looking at a picture of a mind map online and saying to yourself ‘that’s exactly what I want mine to look like’ but in reality that’ll never happen. You’ll never manage to get a mind map that looks exactly the same as someone else’s and in all honesty that would be a bit boring. Instead just get stuck in and create your own unique masterpiece

How to Study Like a Harvard Student

Taken from Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, daughter of the Tiger Mother

Preliminary Steps 1. Choose classes that interest you. That way studying doesn’t feel like slave labor. If you don’t want to learn, then I can’t help you. 2. Make some friends. See steps 12, 13, 23, 24. General Principles 3. Study less, but study better. 4. Avoid Autopilot Brain at all costs. 5. Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your time. 6. Write it down. 7. Suck it up, buckle down, get it done. Plan of Attack Phase I: Class 8. Show up. Everything will make a lot more sense that way, and you will save yourself a lot of time in the long run. 9. Take notes by hand. I don’t know the science behind it, but doing anything by hand is a way of carving it into your memory. Also, if you get bored you will doodle, which is still a thousand times better than ending up on stumbleupon or something. Phase II: Study Time 10. Get out of the library. The sheer fact of being in a library doesn’t fill you with knowledge. Eight hours of Facebooking in the library is still eight hours of Facebooking. Also, people who bring food and blankets to the library and just stay there during finals week start to smell weird. Go home and bathe. You can quiz yourself while you wash your hair. 11. Do a little every day, but don’t let it be your whole day. “This afternoon, I will read a chapter of something and do half a problem set. Then, I will watch an episode of South Park and go to the gym” ALWAYS BEATS “Starting right now, I am going to read as much as I possibly can…oh wow, now it’s midnight, I’m on page five, and my room reeks of ramen and dysfunction.” 12. Give yourself incentive. There’s nothing worse than a gaping abyss of study time. If you know you’re going out in six hours, you’re more likely to get something done. 13. Allow friends to confiscate your phone when they catch you playing Angry Birds. Oh and if you think you need a break, you probably don’t. Phase III: Assignments 14. Stop highlighting. Underlining is supposed to keep you focused, but it’s actually a one-way ticket to Autopilot Brain. You zone out, look down, and suddenly you have five pages of neon green that you don’t remember reading. Write notes in the margins instead. 15. Do all your own work. You get nothing out of copying a problem set. It’s also shady. 16. Read as much as you can. No way around it. Stop trying to cheat with Sparknotes. 17. Be a smart reader, not a robot (lol). Ask yourself: What is the author trying to prove? What is the logical progression of the argument? You can usually answer these questions by reading the introduction and conclusion of every chapter. Then, pick any two examples/anecdotes and commit them to memory (write them down). They will help you reconstruct the author’s argument later on. 18. Don’t read everything, but understand everything that you read. Better to have a deep understanding of a limited amount of material, than to have a vague understanding of an entire course. Once again: Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your time. 19. Bullet points. For essays, summarizing, everything. Phase IV: Reading Period (Review Week) 20. Once again: do not move into the library. Eat, sleep, and bathe. 21. If you don’t understand it, it will definitely be on the exam. Solution: textbooks; the internet. 22. Do all the practice problems. This one is totally tiger mom. 23. People are often contemptuous of rote learning. Newsflash: even at great intellectual bastions like Harvard, you will be required to memorize formulas, names and dates. To memorize effectively: stop reading your list over and over again. It doesn’t work. Say it out loud, write it down. Remember how you made friends? Have them quiz you, then return the favor. 24. Again with the friends: ask them to listen while you explain a difficult concept to them. This forces you to articulate your understanding. Remember, vague is bad. 25. Go for the big picture. Try to figure out where a specific concept fits into the course as a whole. This will help you tap into Big Themes – every class has Big Themes – which will streamline what you need to know. You can learn a million facts, but until you understand how they fit together, you’re missing the point. Phase V: Exam Day 26. Crush exam. Get A.
