Barely passed high school but I’m now one of the top students at uni.
I will genuinely never forgive my school for giving me the need to feel academically validated while simultaneously setting us up for failure because at no point did they ever try teach us HOW to study.
I don’t know if I didn’t do well because of the mix of anxiety (due to the academic validation need) and lack of effective methods being taught. But I do know that before uni started when I sat myself down and researched everything to do with effective studying and then made it into a digital notebook I immediately felt a weight that’s been on my heart from the beginning of high school lift.
That notebook/study guide I made myself not only taught me how to study but kept me organized to the point studying didn’t feel like a chore but more like a quick thing to check of my check list. And suddenly I was not only passing but passing really well.
This is the tip, learn how to study. It’s all fun and games scrolling on social media watching study content but there’s a difference in teaching yourself what you need to be able to teach yourself concepts and stuff
Am I right or right?
