You don't expect to see "What is the meaning of life?" in the same exam paper as "Do penguins have knees" but here we are 😂

I was about to start cramming when this video popped up. Is this God’s way of telling me to get my shit together

I always wanted to do spaced repetition, but eventually getting lost track because of overloaded subjects or I'm the only person who thinks that way? Haha

I have been cramming all my life.. never had it another way. But always seem to scrape through. It always dawned on me that I could have done so much better if I had started prepping earlier, despite getting okay grades. So this video kinda was a much needed wake-up-call. Thanks!

Starting off small is a big helper for me: I'm someone who took a year out of Uni as I was moving country and getting back into it has been a step-by-step process.

Awesome video as usual, keep it up!
