7 study tips from someone who rides the struggle bus to school everyday

Because I struggle bussed too hard to come up with a solid 10. Regardless, I made it this far, so I must have done something right(ish), or not completely wrong. 

Set the scene. Not necessarily in the Tumblr studying aesthetic kinda way. They’re definitely #deskgoals, but let me tell you, my desk never looked like any of the pictures you see here. What I mean, make your space a productive place to study for you. I preferred my study space to be separate from my sleep place, so my desk wasn’t in my bedroom. Not being locked up in a cave was important to me, so I put my desk by a window. Light a candle, Bath and Body Works got all my loan money. Get a natural sunlight lamp. Play some music, preferably without lyrics – classical, EDM, whatever keeps you focused without being distracting. Just make an optimal space for you. 

Stay hydrated (and caffeinated). I’m 100% a coffee addict, but water is so incredibly important. It helps you to not feel like shit, both physically and mentally, or look like shit #skincare.  Drink your morning coffee, but chug water throughout the day. Your mind and body will love you. I discovered flavoring packets that contained caffeine (Crystal Light, Mio, etc) at the beginning of MS2, and let me tell you, life-changing for those mid-afternoon slumps. And all those pee breaks you have to take? Much needed and well-deserved! You don’t want a DVT from studying all day. 

Sleep! I honestly cannot stress this enough. I don’t know how I ever pulled all nighters in college and I don’t know how my friends did it in medical school. It’s important for your mental health and physical health. Studies have shown sleep enhances memory retention and you’ll study more productively. I became a “my brain doesn’t function after 10pm” person in medical school, so I went to sleep early-ish and woke up early, but if you’re a night owl, then let yourself sleep in! You’re not taking away precious study time if you’re sleeping, I promise. And for that night before the test, that extra hour of sleep is way better than staying up an extra hour to read your notes one more time, I pinky promise. 

Move, stretch, dance, anything not hunched over a desk. Sitting for 12 hours straight is simply not sustainable. Take a couple minute break every hour to give your brain a rest. A lot of people use the Pomodoro technique with success but I never got into it. I downloaded the Forest app and timed myself for an hour, then took a 5-10 minute break between study sessions. You’ll feel refreshed and rejuvenated for another round of studying! 

Repetition, repetition, repetition. Repetition is key when it comes to learning and memorizing. Figure out your best way of learning and stick with it. Whether it be reading, re-writing notes, listening or watching lectures, recording yourself reading the notes, flashcards, etc. Find it and stick with it. Repeat it until you can do it in your sleep. I would literally wake up sometimes reciting notes in my head and I it was annoying, but it meant I had studied effectively. 

Questions. Always reinforce your knowledge with questions. You can memorize every page of a textbook but it doesn’t mean much unless you can apply it. And the more questions you do, the faster you get at test-taking, which is key once you get into 8 hour board exams. But I digress. Take practice tests, buy review books, invest in question banks. Some professors provide old exam questions for review. Do as many as you can. And if explanations are provided, read them! They’re just as much of a learning tool as any other resource! As I reviewed the questions, I’d take notes, simple one-liner facts, for review later. 

One pagers. This one may not be for everyone, but they came in clutch for me. My study method was a combination of re-writing notes and reciting things out loud as if I’m teaching it to a class. I talk to myself a lot. The more comfortable I got with the material, the more I condensed my notes until I had whole lectures or topics down to one page. This page would contain things that I thought were super important that I needed to make sure I knew, or those pesky facts that would not commit themselves to my memory. Because I’m a firm believe in not re-reading something you know you already know. This also held me accountable to always be actively studying. Then I would review these pages the day before and the morning of exams. 

Above all else, remember to trust yourself. Don’t panic. You put in the time and work, you will do great. If you have anxiety issues, don’t be afraid to seek help so you can learn how to get your anxiety under control because school is hard enough without that added obstacle. 

Study, take that test, go home and pass out, then melt into the couch and watch Netflix for the rest of the day. You deserve it.

she’s such an inspiration

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer. 

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

We’re saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. She passed away at 101 years old. 

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

An America hero, Johnson’s legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground.

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

Once a “human computer”, she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space.

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that he’d trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math.

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel.

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

With slide rules and pencils, Katherine Johnson’s brilliant mind helped launch our nation into space. No longer a Hidden Figure, her bravery and commitment to excellence leaves an eternal legacy for us all.

“We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.” - Katherine Johnson 1918 -2020 

May she rest in peace, and may her powerful legacy inspire generations to come! What does Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to you? Share in the comments.

oh my god. powerful. this is so true

so i didn’t do my homework on time

Productivity shouldn’t be my only value as a person, yet my education is defined precisely only by my productivity. I exist to produce exams, papers, works, homework, everything. The student, in Polish school system (as that is the only system I am qualified to critique because it Is the one that suffocates me) wants me to become my work, and the work in question, to become my only goal. Knowledge, I don’t know knowledge, I know all-nighters, bitter coffees and crying in a bathroom after a teacher laughs at your incompetence. I know lack of self esteem when you answer poorly. I know the clash between a good teacher and a good student in a bad setting. I know fleeting academic potential, I know premature wrinkles, I know depression I know back pain I know insomnia and I know that I still have to get up in the morning because my disgusting leisure would be seen as a failure in my education. I don’t know how to take care of my mental health. I truly don’t know how to make myself feel better when every part of the system tries to make me despise myself based on short-lived mistakes.

this^^ so excited and happy for you!! can’t wait!

Tumblr, I have a mission for you

So, I’ve always been a pretty terrible student. I was what teachers not-so-subtly referred to as “The Problem Child” because my autism, anxiety and depression often get so bad that I can’t really get to class much, and that makes it harder to get work done, so I end up failing a lot of my classes, unfortunately. I’ve been to six schools so far, and I’ve struggled like hell at all of them. 

But now, I’m in my Senior Year of High School. I have insufficient credits, so I’ll end up graduating a bit later than most other kids my age, but I’m closer to getting out of this hell-hole than ever before. And I want to do something special for when I finally do, so I have a request for all other Tumblr users:

When I manage to Graduate, can we please throw an Online Celebration?

Because honestly, whether it’s a simple Congratulations to a Celebratory Gif to a Piece of Art or a Written out Piece, anything and everything would be appreciated on my big day. I’ll reblog this with the Announcement the day I Graduate, so you can all know when to celebrate. I can even post pictures of the ceremony (if there is any) and my reaction if you’d like. Please reblog this to get the word out, and if you feel so inclined, please try to do something special when I make the announcement. 

I’m sorry if this sounds stupid or selfish, but this is a really really important thing for me, so literally anything kind would be appreciated once I give the go-ahead. Graduating has been a big goal for me; ever since I was 6 years old, I never thought I’d be able to do it. So I want the day I finally do to be really special. Please, please be kind about this, because I’m honestly very excited and emotional about this. Thank you all so much for your kindness, it really does mean more than you could ever know.

would anyone be down to actually have an academic group. where we could actually share poetry (either ones of our own creations or ones previously written), share what books we’re currently reading, and perhaps read the same book together. but also we could be best friends and hang out like teenagers do and be f*cking weird.

idk. just a concept...
