Quick Pop In

Hey guys!  Even though it's 1:00am and I still have to review more notes for various tests I have tomorrow, I figured I would just pop in a relate to many of you if you are feeling the same way I am feeling, STRESSED!  But don't worry, we can kick the stress.  Even though it's 1:00am, I studied 3 subjects for 3 hours starting at 9pm and ending at 12am.  Then I went back and reviewed more notes.  Figuring out how many subjects you need to study and then by taking each hour starting from a certain time to study all of the subjects you need to cover is effective.  My friend called me this evening and was so stressed out for a math test we have tomorrow.  I told her the method I just spilled to you guys and she was so relieved and she's fast asleep and done with all of her studying. You may be asking yourself why I am still up, I honestly don't know (LOL).  Anyway, just thought since I haven't posted in a while I would post real fast while I'm in panic mode for many tests I have tomorrow.  LOL


Goodnight,
Rachel

Just Brush It Off

Throughout your school career, you're going to have to realize that you are going to get a bad grade.  It will happen because a "bad grade," is different for everyone.  Students interpret a, "bad grade," differently.  Nobody is perfect so a bad grade once or even once in a while will happen and you have to understand that it's okay.  Also, realize that if you studied so much, and there was nothing else you could have done to receive a better grade, then there is just nothing you could've done to improve your grade.  A grade is just a number.  Don't be afraid of it.  Don't let that number written on your paper put you down.  A percentage means nothing.  Learn from your mistakes.  In reality, it shouldn't put you down. Brush it off and keep on going!  Happy Friday!

Saying it But Not Doing it

We all say, "I am going to do all my homework right when I get home."  You know you're guilty of saying that.  The problem with saying that is we need to follow through with what we say.  Just saying something is completely different than actually doing it.  To solve your problem, right when you step off of that bus, think about how you're going to start your homework right away.  When you actually are in your house, don't let anyone get into your head and get you side tracked.  When you get home you are going to set 5 minutes aside to wash up, maybe grab a quick snack and go straight into your room.  Grab a piece of paper and list all of the things you need to do for the rest of your day but not studying.  Make sure that your cell phone is off or on silent and away from you.  Computers or any electronic devices should be out of your room or away from you.  The key is to making this method work is to eliminate all kinds of distractions   Unless you need to print something or write something on a computer.  Once you have finished all of your homework, grab a second piece of paper and write everything you need to study.  Even if you don't have a test in Math for example, write it down.  It doesn't hurt to review your notes.  Then write a specific time frame that you need to review or study something.  For example, let's say I didn't have a math test anytime soon, I would still review my notes but only for 15 minutes.  That's all.  Ex) Math-5:15-5:30.  By doing this, when you actually have a test coming up, you don't need to study for 2 hours, you might not even have to study for an hour because you have been reviewing every night anyway.  This method should decrease your stress dramatically.  I tried it and it works.  Also, when it comes to projects, even if the due date is in 2 weeks, get ahead and start it!  There is no reason to wait till the last minute.
