study tips from a college graduate: time management and note taking

How to study in college? Study skills for college graduates.

hello my frens it's nina and i'm gonna give you my study tips!!! and a bunch of life tips too i guess sdkflsfsjk

as a recent uc berkeley graduate i think i'm somewhat qualified to give you some tips and points about how i studied and tried to stay motivated and productive during college, so i hope you enjoy this video and maybe learn something new! i talked about time management, how i took notes, using a bullet journal, how i took care of my health and well-being, how i stayed motivated, etc.

this video is not the end of my advice about college! this is just one video of tips :) if i think of more tips in the future, i'll let y'all know! and if you have any tips you'd like to share, leave a comment! let's help each other out :))

i feel like it's been a while since i just sat down to talk with y'all and be like an older sister giving advice and tips, so this was fun to film :) of course if you have any more questions, leave a comment as well! talk to each other! these were just tips i could think of at the time.

i know that some of y'all are about to graduate college or high school, or that many of y'all already finished school for the summer (or like me, for life) but i hope that this video is still helpful ;) you can use the tips when you go back to school HAHA

also congrats to you if you graduated too!! whether it's middle school, high school, or college, i congratulate you :'')

“Grades dont define you it just defines whether you get stuff done or not.” Needed that

“If you don’t have friends”
*long period of silence*
“That’s okay.”
I felt that :(

tips if you’re a procrastinator like me:

1. break up the assignment of task into small pieces.
2. Tell yourself that it’s easy or it won’t take very long.
3. Organise before doing homework, it gets you in a productive mood. ie: filling in your planner, writing out a wish list or to do list.
4. Listen to music that doesn’t have any lyrics or isn’t in your native language. (Basically you cant sing along or get distracted by)
5. Clean your surroundings before starting. The less the clutter the more your mind will be clear.

You can get through this! 💞

Hey guys I just want to help out so here are some of my tips:
- study everyday, even if it means just writing bullet points of what you learned
- write ur notes by hand
- write specific to-do lists. Make sure you break each big task in smaller ones so you don't feel so pressured or intimidated by it
- drink water and have healthy snacks while studying.
- have a designated space to study, also put clothes that make you comfortable but not too much so that you will still feel productive
- treat yourself after accomplishing something in your to-do list
- have a routine and FOLLOW it!
- don't compare yourself to your friends as to how they are doing in school
- have your study music
- keep your room clean and organised
- plan ahead every week


I hope this helped you a little :)

i have a tip : recording classes.
this helps me when theres a loooot of info or so many things to memorise and i wouldnt know whether to take notes or pay attention and it gets overwhelming just record that cLASS and listen to it when on ur way back home or on the train or whatever it may be !!!!

My tips:
- Don’t overwhelm yourself. If it’s due in a week, break it up. You don’t have to do it the first day and you shouldn’t do it the last.
- Particularly with history courses (I was a history major, ) wrote down EVERYTHING during the lecture. Even if you know it already, it’s best to always jot it down.
- DONT do all nighters unless you literally have not choice. They mess with your sleep schedule and often times if does more harm than good.
- You get a lot of freedom in college, but that isn’t always good. You have to organize yourself and at least jot down in your notebook homework or the next test or what reading you need. I didn’t do this in my freshman year and it was a struggle.

College didn’t hurt me so much I’m not going to grad school, as I want to be a librarian and kinda have to lol. But it’s hard to get used to but once you get in a rhythm college can be a fun experience!

When she mentioned that she forgot to take her vitamins I realized I hadn’t taken mine either

[chanciemartinxo]

it makes me feel better that you started at community college and then got into Berkeley. Thank you for this!

Nina: study with friends-

Me w/friends: eating and watching dramas instead of actually studying-
