12 Tips For Successful Studying
Life Teen

Now that school is back in session, the University of Indianapolis Odyssey team is back with our weekly listicles! To kick off the semester, we compiled a list of our best study tips to hopefully help anyone who is struggling.

1. Kayla

"Get a planner and actually use it or else you will miss something."

2. Maia

"Each day, I make a list of all the assignments I need to have done by the end of the day. Making the assignment load look more manageable and being able to cross them off when I'm done help me to continue to be productive."

3. Bryson

"When studying or doing homework, turn off anything that may distract you, like your phone."

4. Elizabeth

"Rewrite your notes that you took in class. With the repetition, you retain the information better. And you can put it in your own words so you can understand it more easily when you read it back."

5. Kate

"Always study with a group because they might have notes that you missed during class or understand the material better than you do."

6. Sydney

"Figure out what works best for you. I personally work better with classical music playing, and some people work better in complete silence. Some people can't work in their dorm rooms, and others work best there. It's all about what works best personally."

7. Hallie

"Color code your notes! It makes studying way easier in the end!"

8. Mallory

"Time management. Make an hour by hour schedule of your day/assignments/times to study for the day ahead."

9. Gabrielle

"Keep your syllabus handy, highlight all due dates, and also write them in a planner."

10. Alexis

"My best study tip would be to attend all classes!"

11. Kasandra

"Use a planner, keep your syllabi handy, and find a study place!"

12. Kaitlin

"Keep everything super organized with tabbed and labeled binders so evverything is easily accessible. And keep old quizzes and tests so that when exam time comes around studying isn't so stressful, as you'll have those as a guide."

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
