Summary:
1. Make the commitment to sit at the front at the beginning of the year. Make the most of each class.
2. Make sure you establish regular contact with your professors. They will get to know you and will have expectations.
3. Have dedicated time for homework and study time at the beginning of each work. Know where you are going to study.
Bonus: find good study music to make it more enjoyable.
4. Know when to quit. If you don't have time for extra classes and it isn't worth it, quit them so you can focus on other things.
5. Make sure this semester is enjoyable and have REAL fun, like going out. It will make your work hours more productive.
6. Get a professional domain name.

I seriously love this channel. It's simple, practical and also effective.

Good luck to everyone starting school.
Make sure what you study is something that really resonates with you.
Never regret the past choices, all experiences add up to your character.

Oh and I finally passed my first board exam using the Feynman technique 🥂

[bananamilk]

The fact that the first part he said was so on point just blew my mind, I cannot stress out the fact that I have to keep my math on point and not worry about other subjects

[ChaseFace]

In addition to point #5, I read somewhere that when you tell yourself "I'm going to study today" then it satisfies a part of your brain to the point where you lose the motivation to actually study. Simply by proclaiming the intention to do work, your brain automatically becomes more lax and you're more likely to abandon the endeavor.

Good advice in this video.

My favorite study music - AC/DC -- Best guitar video. 16 minutes of noise that drowns out the world. SMILE...

Thanks for a well needed video in corona times when it can be hard studying from home with youtube, news, eating etc as an annoying distraction ;)

Tip number 2 made a huge difference for me. It’s something I recommend to students and soon-to-be grads I mentor from my channel as well but haven’t in a while (great reminder)! Thanks for posting this and I’m a huge fan! Please keep the content coming!

This is a big one for me. I'm only two days into my first semester and I've already realized that I'm turning people's social invitations down to prepare for classes (inefficiently) or to play video games. I'm resolving to make time for uninterrupted fun. Thank you Thomas!

[MonsterMo]

This couldn’t have come at a better time I’m about to go into my final year of school
Thanks so much ♥️

Anyone else is using his videos to study English? I watch the video without the English subtitles and after I watch it again with the English subtitles. I think it's working.

PS: I'm from Brazil.

[karthikkamal]

He is absolutely right.now I have realised that how I am motivated throughout the year.first I thought reason I am motivated is due to lecturers in my college but now this video made me know that I am reason behind my motivation.thank you Thomas frank and good luck

[mrssmurf]

Think Thomas Frank should be a module for every hons degree student ! Thanks for all the motivation wouldn't have got to uni to do an hons degree as a mature student without you when I felt like giving up in entry college only had to watch your video's to keep me going!!!

[natamauli]

I get my motivation through goals.

I mean that's how I work my whole life, If I dont have a goal, I dont have motivation or anything to work on.

Without a great financial backup your entire school year would probably end up a mess

I sat at the very back of my AP English class on the first day. I'm not even good at English, but I found myself participating, asking and answering questions on the first day. It's the third week of school now, and not a day passes where my teacher doesn't ask me to answer a question. I still sit in the back of her class, but I'm in her line of sight. What surprised me the most is that I'm actually enjoying it. Honestly, it's probably because I find that I'm actually learning, and I know that I've left the room without questions in my head because I'd already asked her.

Participate. Now my goal is to ask what I think are "dumb" questions so that others would feel more comfortable asking theirs.
