January Study Challenge

day 25 - what’s your go-to study method? are there cases in which you wouldn’t use it?

my go-to study method is flashcards! i use it for prettyyy much everything, but definitely not math. for math, i watch videos on khanacademy as refreshers, and do their practice problems. for anatomy and geography, i play games i find online. so i def don’t use them for everything, but flashcards are extremely useful to me!

september 7th: currently reading!

first, i’m reading Of Mice and Men for my english class ! we’re reading very slowly and we’re only on chapter 2 but it’s interesting so far. and i’m also reading The Perfectionists for myself! i’m really enjoying it !! it’s a lil cheesy (like PLL, which i watched all of) but very fun. it’s an easy read, but the writing is pretty good (imo). i’m probably going to finish it today - i ordered the sequel, which i think arrived in the mail, so, exciting! :)

i managed to finish ALL of my work yesterday and i’m so fucking happy 🥰🥰 of course, i could be studying, buuuut i chose to take a break today.

september 4th: favorite study snack!

this picture may be a bit misleading lol bc my favorite study snack is actually chips ! it takes some effort for me to eat healthy food 😬 so chips (specifically salty kettle chips) are perfect

um this week went alright. i’m really starting to feel like i need a break, but i don’t think i’ll be getting one anytime soon. my grades are good, but i had a nightmare last night that i had a B haha
