Studying!
Studying can be so annoying, and that's before you bring in all the possible distractions. It is so easy to become distracted from studying, mainly because you most likely don't want to study in the first place.
I have gone around and asked my friends (Engineers) what their best studying habits are, and they gave me great ideas. I hope these tips help you get those A+'s I know you deserve!
- Plenty of space to work and spread out.
- Quite places help you focus more so go to the library or a coffee shop.
- Coffee or caffeine helps you stay aware and awake for those late night studies.
- Taking plenty of breaks can help your brain rest and refuel.
- Snacks (study food) so your hunger wont get in the way of studying.
- Study partners can be useful even if they don't know what they are doing. Teaching them can help you to.
- Calm music (instrumental) is one of my favorites, there are no lyrics to sing so you're fully focused on the work.
- Switching locations (not studying in the same place every time) can be a good change.
- Exercise, walking around to get the brain juices flowing.
- Schedule time to study, don't wait till last minute, or cram it all in one day. Spread it out.
Such great tips!! From one student to another (I am definitely going to check these out)

These are great tips. I will say about caffeine and coffee that if you are not careful, it can backfire and mess up with your sleep cycle.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely haha but sometimes its what it takes!
DeleteI would definitely have to agree with these ideas. And it kills me to say that because I KNOW they would help but... procrastination and laziness rule supreme. I haven't tried the late-night coffee thing though (mainly because I hate coffee), but who knows? It could be the missing link in my homework relationship...

That is so funny, I hate coffee to! but all of my friends live off it!
DeleteI do like to study in different places. I feel it keeps my brain moving :)
ReplyDeleteYes definitely
DeleteGreat tips! My new favorite is the app Focus@Will I use the free version and it really does help me stay focused.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I have never heard of that! I will look into it!
Deletei'm with the coffee and sweets on this one :D
ReplyDeleteI'm just beginning my second year of my Master's so I totally appreciate this...it's a bit more difficult to find my own space with a toddler running around however!
ReplyDeleteHaha aw well thank you!
DeleteGreat Tips thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI love these tips. If only I actually did it in college.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be using these! Especially the coffee part :3
ReplyDeleteReading aloud while writing down the information is helpful too. If you can record yourself reading your notes and listen to them, it helps too. The more methods you can use to mentally process your information, the better it sticks in your head. I taught my students to use multiple methods and flashcards.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you! I will definitely try these!!
DeleteI've heard that chewing peppermint gum while studying and then chewing (a different piece) while taking the test helps your brain recall the facts better.
ReplyDeleteIve heard that to, I kinda want to try it to see if it works
DeleteAwesome tips, caffeine and study music is key for me!
ReplyDeleteIt was not until going to college that I started to drink coffee (and found I actually LIKE it!).
ReplyDeleteThese are really some great tips! I love the one about changing location of your study session. That's an awesome idea. While in college, I was one of routine, but I can see I should have changed it up a little bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! Drinking plenty of water and health veggies, fruits, and protein will help you stay away too!
