the ending of the european leg of the eras tour feels like something so grand.

i mean, we’ve had everything this leg. the fun with swift alert, brand new mashups each and every night, the new tortured poets addition - just to name a few. something about the ending this time feels important, like the start of the end is beginning to loom. which, in a way, it is. we’re advancing forth to the last leg of the entire tour: no more added dates, no more “where are the x dates”. sure, not exactly the end of the world, but this moment in all of our lives is soon coming to a close. millions of people having attended the eras tour themselves, watched the film, and even going as far as watching livestreams every single night. what an influence, right?

and it all ends in december. all the joy and positivity that has been spread across the world, all uniting to enjoy the artwork of such an incredible person. it’s just an incredibly unique sensation that something that has been ongoing for an amazing 18 months is finally coming to a close. it’s certainly beautiful in a melancholic way. however! i, in no way, imagine that the experience we’ve all had along this tour will end so soon, this will be something carried through the generations (not to sound dramatic) - in some ways, it already has! this will be the time people will say they wish they lived through; wished they were lucky enough to be alive during the feat that has been the eras tour.

“the night you danced like you knew our lives would never be the same” - taylor swift, 2010.

“i’ll be so lucky to have you” is such a beautiful line. himi knowingly returns to a world that is destined to consume her in the fires she holds dear, all because they’re also the very doors that’ll bring mahito into existence.

and that’s the enduring essence of miyazaki’s works: life, through all its suffering and misery, is still worth living. through the people we love and the memories we cherish, we search for and find our reasons to live.

“Stop apologizing. You don’t have to say sorry for how you laugh, how you dress, how you make your hair, how you speak. You don’t have to be sorry for being yourself. Do it fearlessly. It’s time to accept this is you, and you gotta spend the rest of your life with you. So start loving your sarcasm, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your unique sense of humor, your everything. It will make your life so much easier to simply be yourself.”

The 5 Day Study Plan

So admittedly, I don’t fully know where the idea of the 5-day study plan came from. I first learned about it during a work training, and it instantly made sense to me as it strikes a good balance between studying too far in advance and doing last minute cramming. As I have touched on in previous blog posts, I find the idea of studying more than a week in advance to be impractical and a waste of time as most people will forget most of what they have studied/learned unless they have pre-determined and implemented a really good system of spaced repetition (click here for my blog post on spaced repetition). At the same time, cramming does not work because it leads to unnecessary stress, panic, lack of sleep, and can undermine your confidence going into the exam. Furthermore, many studies have shown that cramming does not allow for long-term understanding/memory, which may or may not be necessary depending on the subject and your future study/career plans.

I prefer study methods that prioritize spending time on what you don’t know, or which designates different amounts of time to different subjects based on your knowledge level and familiarity with the subject. However, in the event that studying that way does not work for you, or if you are truly unsure of what you do and do not know, I recommend the 5-day study plan as detailed below.

Step 1: Break the material into four (relatively) equal chunks. This can be done in any way that makes sense to you. By chapter is probably easiest, but there are other ways that might also work, such as by lecture topic. It may be useful to look at the syllabus, or at your study guide when deciding on your four chunks.  

Step 2: Plan to spend a minimum of 2.5 hours per day studying for this test, if its hard you might need more time, such as 3 or 4 hours, but make sure you prioritize the minimum of 2.5 hours per day for the five days prior to the test.

Step 3: Each day consists of two important steps: Prepare and Review. You should establish 2-3 prepare and review strategies that work best for you, and stick to these 2-3. Here’s a list of ideas to get you started, with my personal favorites in bold.

Step 4: Now you combine steps 1 and 3 to create your study schedule.

Here is an example:

*In order to maximize your 5-day study schedule I would recommend composing the parts/groupings in such a way so that the hardest material falls into part A, and the easiest into Part D.  Technically all of the 5-day study schedule explanations I have read just randomly separate the topics into the parts, but smarter strategies would be separating them by difficulty level, or by how long ago you initially learned that material.
