how I take EFFECTIVE & AESTHETIC notes ✏️🎀 goodnotes tour, digital & handwritten, study tips

Much requested, and yes I’ll deliver 🙇🏻‍♀️ I go over my note taking process and how I take both digital and handwritten notes to learn effectively. I’m pretty meticulous about my process and found that this works the best for me. Everyone’s learning process can be really different so try it out and try other things too! Once you find your strategy, stick to it 😆 Having never opened a textbook in highschool to now using it to study, learn, and take notes - it works, seriously. So while this strategy has gotten me A’s in engineering it’s not always gonna work 100% of the time - ofc there’s anomaly’s. I also discuss whether getting an iPad for school is *really* worth it. Hope you guys enjoy!
💌 Sending love,
Serena ♥︎

my handwriting reflects my mood or how much i like the subject 😭

I really enjoy having written notes, I feel like it’s just “easier” to review them and it feels faster to review🤔, but it’s so much faster doing digital notes sometimes and then you don’t have to carry a bunch of notebooks 😥

The fact that this video was posted right as I was about to start planning how to study for my September exams feels like a sign that, somehow, I'm going to make it. Thank you Serena!! Your videos are always much appreciated, they always have a sort of calming effect to them and they are really motivating, pushing me to keep going. Much love from Italy, from a fellow woman in STEM 🫶🙌

I have samsung eco system and the tablet is extra but convenient. I just like it because it connects to my phone and the writing apps have endless paper length which I find it useful when taking class notes. Because I can copy paste section of notes (useful for Diagrams and repetitive drawings). Also can draw neater but not really necessarily.

your handwriting looks so good and neat! thank you for the tips! 😊

its been soo long nice video though and congrats on 61k💖💖💖

[SweetyChia]

Thank you so much for this experience, it helps to take notes in such a way...aesthetic and above all functional, thank you very much 💕 🫶🏻

Was going to scroll but then saw "as an engineering student, " and I couldn't click faster. (I'm hoping to do engineering in university.)

[seulxa]

thank you so much i really need this 🤍🤍😭

I actually think getting just an iPad is still worth it. I’m a physics student and the 2019 iPad is the only apple device I have and it still is so convienient. I think that if you study a subject that involves a lot of math then an ipad is the apple product to get. Sure it would be nice if I had the entire apple ecosystem I guess but an iPad only is already gonna make note taking so much easier. And if you use it just for notes like me then you don’t need the newest model either! That’s just my experience though xx

[SweetTeaStudy]

I love this video, I have a little channel and this videos inspire me so much❤

[Zen_Oasiss]

What took you so long, Seren? I was genuinely missing your videos a lot😢

[axxxa.]

In my second year starting fall (EE), since we’ll start writing notes on circuits, any tips on how to draw the components and the connections neatly?

[iamegoiitz]
