1. Get Organized
-Organize your files
-Remove/delete obsolete files
-current lessons on the sidebar
-make a format for easier access
-masterlist: google docs (share with classmates)
-assignment tracker
-set your goals: keep it visible/buddy (Summit app)

2. Pay attention in class
-take proper notes (write in your own words, summarize, add examples)

3. Study Tips
-Invest more time up front
-Short intense study sessions (short time but create your own study guides)
-practice active recall
-spaced repetition

4. Attention Management
-stay focused, eliminate distraction (attention residue)
-mute notification/distractions
-hide your phone
"the mere presence of your phone is actually distracting"
-pomodoro technique
-study environment (set boundaries)
"don't study on your bed"

5. Group Work
-choose groups carefully
separate work and personal life
-prep for meetings
-be a proactive group member
"be the person who makes the plan and gets things done"
-set internal deadlines
-split the work but take time to connect everything together
-maintain boundaries (have a day to rest and not do school stuff)

I needed this! Started school again after graduating college over 10 years ago and a lot of things have changed to say the least lol 😅 I was paper through and through ages ago and struggled going digital last semester. Thanks for this video! The file organization bit was especially helpful.

I'm not in college, but I am about to go through flight attendant training and I haven't had to study anything since a menu test at a restaurant 💀 so some of these tips are absolutely going to help me survive this intense 5 week course! And as always I have to mention that your video quality is top notch with your editing. I always appreciate the added b-roll & ofc the music as well. That one section where the music abruptly stopped to add further emphasis to your point was so good! You always kill it with adding the small details with your editing. (One of the many reasons why you're one of my favs!)

man all of the tips in this video are spot on ESPECIALLY the part about group work. It's so true that nobody ever tells you about this stuff but expect you all to be 100% good at it anyways!! I only learned because I was more or less forced to become the group leader on multiple occasion. But anyways, although these have been stuff i have been doing already, just seeing them being put into words and explained properly is amazing and validating! thank you for this video ✨✨

one of the most helpful videos out there! i start my first year at uni in august, i've rewatched this video so many times and i feel prepared. thank you so so much

[liraysakonijn]

Loved this video! I'm currently doing my masters at Uni and the amount of people asking questions that should be common knowledge by now is insane! I really like that you share your assignment schedule with everyone, that's really nice of you and I bet it really helps with the amount of unnecessary questions you receive!

I've been studying a lot, but feeling like I'm not really learning anything for a while, so this is just what I needed! Thank you, Beatrice♡

It’s crazy how much you look like Billie Eilish

I don't really comment on videos let alone before watching the video. Rn going thru my semester 1 exams did not studied even a Lil bit now dying lmao. I will watch this video later after cramming up for the next exam which is on new years day and I am promising my self I won't repeat this habit ig this video was a sign lol. If anybody see this comment pls remind me to watch it 😭😭😭💀

[patrycjalife]

I'm personally rewriting the slides to my notes because English (in which I am studying) is not my first language and I'm still not fluent in it. So it helps me to stay engaged during the class and then at home I am trying to again rewrite it but in more simple words

[Nobodyishom]

I’m actually starting college in a few weeks. I’ve never studied or planned in high school. I was worried I’d have no idea how to start getting organized before I watching this video. Thanks for all the tips. I feel so much more prepared and I’m excited to start school.

[sophl]

this is actually the video I needed because I'm studying for my finals rn and I'm cursing my past self for not starting earlier 😭 will come back to this video after my finals to get ready for semester 2 :)

[marycaliari]

You have good energy. It’s fun to watch your videos. I could listen to you talk about different types of fertilizer and still be captivated.

[polya_sonechko]

I'm so glad I found your channel! Your eyes shine with happiness when you talk about work, planning, organization, this passion is received even through the screen🥹🫶 Videos are very pretty and well montaged! And most importantly - there are no "empty" edvices, but really motivating and informative ones🙌 Thank you for your work, definitely subscribing!☺️

This was indeed helpful! As I am starting my third semester, I have an outline on what to do and what not to do. Thank you Beatrice!

[dbayas]

I really resonate with the entasis and deliberation you put into attention. If you have Apple devices, you should consider using the shortcuts application, so that every time you start a 'deep focus' session, it blocks automatically the notifications, it puts a timer you would like to do, it creates an event of that period of time, so that you can keep track visually of your deep work distribution and more. I personally use it for more things, such as every time I start the focus session, my lamp changes to a colour I specified for this type of period, and then when I activate 'Neural recovery' it as well changes.

[adityashrivastava]

The timing of this video couldn't have been better! Thank You so so much! ✨✨

[majamatecka]

[rye]

[francescakyanda]

I’m autistic and last semester was so difficult because lots of my classes were BS so I had to teach myself 😂 definitely gonna use these tips whenever possible!
