Becoming A Better Student ₊˚⊹♡

becoming a better student ₊˚⊹♡

Prepare for your classes ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Wake up on time. We don't want to be stressed first thing in the morning, right?

Eat breakfast. So you will be able to better focus in class.

Assigned reading and homework. Make sure you are prepared for your classes!! :)

Review your notes. Going through some of your flashcards before class is really helpful.

Check your bag and charge your devices. Ensure you have everything you need: Books, homework, chargers, pens, water...

In Class ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Listen and pay attention. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by simply paying attention, trust me.

Take notes. My favourite note-taking method is the Cornell method; I can make a separate post on that!! <3

"Quick notes." If you struggle with note-taking, try taking quick and messy notes. You can clean them up once you get home!!

Engage. If you have any questions or don't understand something, make sure to ask!! Most teachers really appreciate students who speak up. :)

No distractions. Turn off your phone, no chatting, you'll be glad...

After class ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Finish your assignments as soon as you can. Go home, put on a cosy outfit, have a snack, and get working!! <3

Prepare flash cards. A great way of reviewing your notes, too... :)

Update your Study schedule. Write down any assignment and due dates, reading you must do, upcoming tests, etc...

Clean up your notes. Review them, highlight the important parts, and maybe even make them look cute!! :)

Don't avoid topics/Subjects you dislike. I know it is tempting, but you can't avoid them forever, so you might as well get them done

Structure and routine ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Goals and Priorities. Keep them realistic and manageable.

Time management. Having a set schedule makes studying less overwhelming; it takes some discipline but is so worth it!! <3

Develop a routine. Figure out what works best for you; I prefer studying in the morning or at night.

No "zero days". Even if you can only do a bit, do it!! NO. ZERO. DAYS.

Remember your goals. Dreams will keep you motivated; remind yourself of what you're working for!! <3

Self-care and balance ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Don't forget about your hobbies. You need to do things that make you happy, so make time for those things!!

Maintain a balanced diet. I know chocolates and junk are tempting, especially when you are busy studying all day, but you're not doing yourself any favours.

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. 8 Hours. Non-negotiable.

Exercise regularly. Even if it's just a walk, put on some headphones, listen to music, and give yourself a break. <3

Care for your social life. Reach out to your friends, make plans, and keep in touch; a good work-life balance is critical!!

Romanticising ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Study dates. Meet up with your friends at a cosy cafe, discuss your work, and have some fun!! Studying doesn't have to be all serious all the time ;)

Silly Pinterest boards. Visualising your goals will help you find motivation!!

Music to set the mood. I have a bunch of playlists on my Spotify that might help!! <3

Cosy sweater and candles. The cosy Rory Gilmore vibes haha...

Getting a coffee before class. A little treat before things get serious... Simple pleasures, you know? :)

Babes, The hiatus is OVER, and I'm finally back!! I got a lot of asks on studying, burnout, and school in general, so I thought, why not start off with a little student guide?? I Hope October has been kind to you, and school hasn't been too overwhelming (though I know it, unfortunately, has been for many of you), and I'm glad to finally be back!! <33

As always, Please feel free to add your own suggestions and tips in the comments!!

SSR Azul Ashengrotto - Club Wear Voice Lines

Bide your time while waiting for the perfect opportunity, or go on the offensive. The key to winning is determining the proper strategy.

Summon: I know exactly how the rest of this game will be played out now. I'll use my intellect to completely crush my opponent to smithereens.

Groovification: Oh, what an absolute shame! Is it over already? That wasn't nearly enough to even be considered a warm-up game!

Home: Let's enjoy the game.

Home Transition 1: This outfit was made to be worn during tournaments. It seems in the past some club members would compete wearing more shabby jerseys.

Home Transition 2: I make sure to read game manuals thoroughly as I would a contract. That is the minimum requirement in order to play to my full capabilities.

Home Transition 3: Sometimes strategy requires a thorough, soul-crushingly heartless play... Idia-san, do try not to resent me too much!

Home Transition - Login: Playing games is a wonderful way to learn various negotiation tactics. I find my time in the Boardgame Club to be quite practical.

Home Transition - Groovy: You practiced the game in order to beat me? Heheh, well, I suppose I should accept your spirited challenge. I suppose we'll have to see how well you perform, then.

Home Tap 1: It is utter nonsense to rely on luck. There will always be a winning chance present, no matter what, as long as you pay rapt attention.

Home Tap 2: This club isn't a very proactive one, by any means. Back when I first joined, many years worth of club dues had just accumulated, simply collecting dust.

Home Tap 3: Other than myself, no one else ever attempts to recruit new members. If more freshmen were to join, it would be wonderfully benef... I mean－ it would be wonderfully lively.

Home Tap 4: Of course, I absolutely get along well with my club mates. It was rather difficult to break through the ice at first, however, since everyone is so reserved, skittish, and cautious.

Home Tap 5: Jade and Floyd mentioned they would come to the next board game tournament to "cheer" me on. I made sure to drill in a warning not to disrupt my concentration.

Home Tap - Groovy: If it interests you, I could teach you a little trick so you'll always roll the number you want on a die. Now, what should I exact as payment for telling you this, hm?

Duo: [AZUL]: Idia-san, this next turn will decide everything. [IDIA]: You seem real confident you're gonna win, Azul-shi.
