On Study Skills

Hello there!

It's already at the end of the month, and I feel as if October went by so quickly, what with all the final assignments that needed to be submitted, revising for exams, and of course, final exam.

Yes, I have just finished my final exam of the semester.

Truth be told, I don't feel like I had done as good as I wanted to. Why is that?

Well, I think this is because my study skills still need polishing in many areas, and also I have not fully mastered the skills I need in college. Yes, it's way different than high school.

I have stumbled upon tons of study tips along the way but... the practical part needs improvement HAHA.
However, I have a handful of cool apps for studying that I'd like to share with you. These apps had somewhat helped me with my final exam preparations. (Don't get me wrong, they are super useful. But like I said before, when it comes to the actual application, I am still far behind). I might post this in the near future, so keep an eye out.

So, my plan for this month-long holiday is to improve my study skills.

I have found that I'm good at understanding concepts, but memorizing, not so much. I actually don't really like memorizing so usually I skip that. As a law student, that was a BIG mistake.

This weakness had taught me a lesson in the recent exam. It was a horrible feeling you know, realizing that you understand something but cannot answer the question accurately due to not remembering the hard facts and details.

I'm currently researching the best ways to study that suit me and also the ones that are most effective.

That's all for now.

Later 😀

I'm Back...

Hi there!

*coughs* I know... I've been disappearing for the longest time, and... I would like to say that I'm sorry.

As I said before, I moved to a boarding school (a prestigious one, which makes it even a tougher environment to adapt to). As I rarely came home, and if  I do, usually my holidays are filled with homework etc. (let's not forget sleeping in shall we). So, yeah, my schedules were hectic.

I rarely got to read in my first year there, only finished one book the whole year (sad, sad thing) which is waaaay lower than what I usually accomplished. In the next year, which is my senior year, final year of high school, life became even more hectic but luckily I could cope with it better than the previous year.

So, you see... I have been neglecting my hobbies because of my studies. I am fairly convinced that I have lost part of myself, because of that. I don't know.

And now... here I am, at college.

I think I am finally ready to pick up that pen I left back in 2015 again. To pick up the pieces of me that I had let go.

This used to be me, seriously XD
