how to actually study like

1. Take school seriously
it's okay to not stress yourself too much about grades, but don't completely underestimate them. don't always think that "it doesn't matter"; yes, it doesn't represent your worth as a person, but it shows what you need to do to improve. if you act like it never happened, you'll never learn from your mistakes.
2. Study in cozy places
studying in a cafe, a nice garden, or even in your own room but on your bed, will make you feel more motivated and comfortable than studying in a nosy, messy place. you can also wear headphones to pretend you're in a movie!!
3. Prioritise school
school always comes first; not before your mental health, but before parties, before hangouts, before fun. remember: you're doing it for you, for your own future. you always have time to have fun; but first, get your homework done.
4. Study with flash cards
asking yourself questions to test if you really know the topic is so important because that's how you know if you studied the right way. using flash cards or asking someone to ask you questions that could be in the test will prepare you best for the exam!!
5. Set a goal
rory wanted to go to harvard; find something to look forward to, something to make you motivated. so that every time you feel like you don't wanna study, you'll think of your goal and get your head back on books.
