    Studying methods (Asian style)


    I basically have nothing to blog about.
    So i shall blog about HOW I STUDY.

    Exams are tomorrow.
    Unfortunately, on a saturday.
    So what do you do with a day left before your dreaded exam?
    Well, I cram (obviously).
    There are a few things to help me remember better. Might work for me but not you. So find your own methods ! :D

    1. Walking
    One thing I realize that I usually do when I cram is that I walk around.
    I walk around the house (literally all around the house),
    To the kitchen, to the living room, to my parents room, to the balcony,to my room, and repeat all over again. 
    Not only walking, I move my arms.
    Like this...


    And guess what?
    I do it while loudly memorizing my notes. <3


    2. Lying down
    Okay, so maybe when walking doesn't quit help, I lie.
    Not the couch, not my bed, but on the floor.
    It's cooling so why not?
    I'll lie on the floor like a dead star fish and start talking to the ceiling (also memorizing).

    Lying on the floor would look somehow similar to this.

    Hey, I like it. Don't judge me. 

    3. Sit.
    When all else fails,
    I sit and seriously, with all my focus, CRAM.

    4. Understand
    Okay, So maybe I should provide some relevant studying methods that I use.
    One of it is to actually read and understand the contents.
    Imagining and replaying the sentence over and over again helps.
    By understanding, the process of long term memory encoding is aided.
    Thus, better memory !
    An additional advantage to understanding is that application questions will never kill your results ever again.

    5. And if you hate studying...
    Just find ways to love it.
    In short, force yourself to love it like how your mom tried to force you to eat veggies when you were younger.

    occhiolism

    n. the awareness of the smallness of your perspective, by which you couldn’t possibly draw any meaningful conclusions at all, about the world or the past or the complexities of culture, because although your life is an epic and unrepeatable anecdote, it still only has a sample size of one, and may end up being the control for a much wilder experiment happening in the next room.

    The person behind this blog

    The person behind this blog

    She is a 21 year-old awkwardly enthusiastic individual who loves the idea of photography and is constantly looking for opportunities to travel around the world.

    She loves lounging the around the house watching TV shows and movies in her pajamas while sipping tea (English breakfast is the way to go).

    If you wish to make her happy, buy her candy, but do not lure her into dark alleys with those. Also, she finds it stupid to refer to herself as a third person.
