Bright lights and studying

Have you ever wondered why our eyes are so easily distracted by lights ?
Sometimes it's annoying , sometimes it looks beautiful . Bright shiny lights like Christmas , fireworks and bubbles in the sunlight , so beautiful and intriguing ..
I guess the most beautiful part about that is the fact that we are able to see it and embrace it .
I don't know about you , but as long as I can see something , I'm happy enough , I feel blessed .

How are you guys ?

I'm really stressed out by my exams ..

Honestly speaking I haven't been attending school much because I am sick regularly . It's not good to be sick and miss lessons because you wouldn't be able to catch up on the amount of school work that overloads my disk space . And for someone who barely goes to school 2 days per week , I'm feeling the load . I have too much to study for ..

I heard some of you guys are having exams too, so here are some things to take note of if you really want to study . I didn't do any research on this BUT, it works really well for me

#1 Find out what kind of study person you are .
For me I'm good at compiling my own notes after reading notes from my teacher . Some people work well if they highlight their key words/ draw diagrams , some absorb better if they visit websites for video tutorials, video&audio based notes . See which one works well for you , it has to do with whether you're a visual / audio / experimental kinda person . I'm a more of the experimental type so yeahhhhhh ..

#2 *VERY IMPORTANT* Find out at which time of the day would be able to absorb / concentrate more .
It's very important to seclude yourself away from other distractions such as friends and activities and noise and blah blah blah . Most people absorb information more on a fresh mind (morning/after a good rest) , some people are night owls and their brain somehow absorbs more when they are tired or after activities during the day and such . I'm one of the night study kinda people . It's more quiet and I can concentrate better , because everyone else is asleep . Furthermore I'm kinda motivated by the fact that I'm tired and I need to get things done before I go to bed so my brain tends to work faster and I use less time to study well . P.S it's a belief that when a person is tired , they tend to find an easy way to do things effectively & some people actually set alarm notes to wake them up in the middle of their sleep just for them to force themselves to get something done .

#3 If you have remedial lessons , pay really close attention in class .
Teachers tends to emphasize on the things that might come out during exams when it's an obvious last minute rush to study . I don't remember any teacher of mine being draggy and covering all the topics including the ones that are not gonna come out for the exam. Remember to raise any doubts because teachers are the best people to ask questions to. They can answer almost anything .

#4 If  you're googling anything , don't just stop at one site as your only source . There might be other theories as well !

#5 Take breaks.<
Unless you're a robot , don't over strain yourself . It is effective to take a break once when you feel tired from studying . It doesn't have to be long , check your twitter or go grab a bite .

#6 DON'T SNACK WHILE YOU'RE STUDYING .
I personally don't think that it is good to let things distract you while you're trying to study , but it seems to be a common practice to eat something while you're studying . It makes your brain focus on two things instead of one but if it works for you , why not ? /;

#7 DON'T LIE DOWN AND STUDY
No really alot of people do this , it's too comfortable . Are you studying or resting ? Do one at a time .

#8 Group studying , really ?
I am a non-believer of a thing called group studying . I am confident that 70% of the people who goes to group studying would end up just talking to their friends and waste time , maybe study for like 10minutes and complain that it's too hard / boring . Some people like to just leech off notes because they brought nothing at all . Yep , I have experienced it myself . If you really wanna study with your friends , limit it to small group of 2-4 people , people who really have the intention to study . Or another alternative is that you study alone , if you have any doubts then drop your friend a text or give them a call to ask . And then when it's solved , continue .

So I hope you guys find at least one of these 8 tips helpful . If there's anything you wanna add on / comment on or if you have any other tips as well , feel free to comment on the post or tweet me ! C'mon I want feed backs too ! Maybe I can learn a thing or two for my last minute studying . Boop!

Welcome message

Yay I've got a new blog .
This blog is like a key to one side of my heart and I'm handing you guys a pair of X-ray vision goggles to take a look at it .
I spent like a few hours trying to do up a blogskin , my gosh , I've lost my touch at doing such a thing .
Anyone wants to do it for me ? HAHAHAH
So anyway, for the past few days I've been trying my best to think of happy thoughts but whenever I managed to grab hold of some it just disappears into thin air .
I have to keep on looking forward, I don't wanna live in the past.
At the same time I cannot find many things to be happy about , I am trying so hard to do something at least ..
I even went to the extend to Google some lame jokes and download cute games just to keep myself occupied and because of that I got really addicted to this game :

It is a really really adorable game okay, don't judge me .

I am really not making full use of my time , and it's 4 am in the morning and I'm blogging instead of sleeping 

Let me tell you guys a secret , my computer is in my kitchen ; yes the most absurd place for a computer to be at but I am loving it here .

I get access to the washroom and fridge easily when I'm in the middle of a game so it's pretty awesome .

And right now I'm hearing my guinea pigs play around , they sound so cute .  I think they are disturbed from their sleep by the sound that my keyboard makes so I'm gonna head for bed now .

Gonna run from the darkness that might catch me before I reach my bed , BOOP!
