as a person who had the “ill make up for it later” mindset, don’t think that way. trust me. I failed 2 classes. Before that I was a straight A student.
Thx for the tip I used to be like that when I realized if I say that then that means I just have to do it now because then I’ll never do it. Like working out too I was dozing off and said I’ll do it later so I just got up and went to the weight room
Yep! Failed an AP and Dual Credit course this way. Have to retake both in college because I thought “oh if I just get this much on a test” or “I can just do it all next weekend” (for the online AP course) Please, do NOT think it will “work out” It will not make up for itself later.
Seriously waking up timely is soo important...i just realized my mistakes..everytime i wake up late i feel so unproductive and feel like half of the day has passed😅
I feel like if I don’t do something most mornings (going out, working at a job, or school) then I don’t do anything for most of the day. But if I do something that takes hours and hours in the morning, I won’t do much after.
0:34 - first mistake: not reflecting on past experience 2:04 - mistake two: buying excessive amount of stationary 3:23 - mistake three: falling into mentality that "I can always make up for it later" (procrastination) 4:39 - mistake four: setting goals based on numerical values or things you don't have control over 5:46 - mistake five: not maintaining a proper morning routine and sleep schedule 7:01 - mistake six: scrolling through social media when you encounter difficult questions or assignments 7:57 - mistake seven: not utilizing free online resources to enhance your learning Wish you all good luck in new school year. And a good brain.
MY BIGGEST TIP: as someone who struggles with getting work done and procrastinating, I just can’t do my work like others. Focusing is a HUGE issue for me and I want to get on my phone as soon as I can. So, I started IGNORING THE “GET THE HARDEST PART DONE FIRST” mindset. WORK YOUR WAY INTO FOCUSING. WORK ON SOMETHING YOU FIND ENJOYABLE/EASY FIRST. Even if it’s puzzles for 10 minutes before you start your assignment. Something that forces you to work but not so much you get discouraged or stop wanting to work on it. Eventually, move on to things that take more brain power. In no time, you’ll find that it’s been three hours and that essay you didn’t want to do is completely done! Using this strategy, I was able to get a 5 page essay that was due in the next 2 days done in one night. And I didn’t stress because I was focusing so much. Of course take breaks but don’t break your focus!!! It got me through last year and I was the only one in my friend group to not complain about procrastinating on the hw so long that I would just not do it. My friends always had a hard time, and I did too but I managed to get through it so much easier than they did. I really hope this helps someone!!!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS TIP! i struggle heavily with procastination and I realized reading this that it really helps when doing an activity that takes brain power before the assignment really helps! wish I knew this sooner.
My favorite part of going back to school is shopping. I like getting new school supplies. I also love getting new shoes and clothes for school. I am very grateful for my new things.
@@halynpearl1892 i go to a new school and im starting late so im gonna be that one kid who missed the first 3 weeks of school and everyone already picks out their friends by the first 3 weeks its gonna be a living hell
@@cocobean_2266 I mean it isn't that unrealistic. I'm starting first year of a school that teaches in a different language entirely and I'm expected to only get A+'s sooooo
1) not reflecting on the previous semester, summarizing the lessons you learned, mistakes to avoid. 2) buying an excess amount of stationary items (just for the aesthetics) 3) falling into the mentality that "i can always make up for it later" 4) setting goals based on numerical values or things you do not have control over 5) not maintaining a proper morning routine and sleep schedule 6) scrolling theough social media when you encounter difficult questions or assignments 7) not utilizing free onlines resources to enhance your learning (i'm writing down to help me remember, maybe this'll help someone else aswell!)
My life was a mess last school year, I was sleep deprived and whenever I struggle in a question I spent 30 minutes on TikTok which is really bad but this video is like a wake up call for me to not make the same mistakes as last school year so I really appreciate you for making this video!!
What I'm planning to use next year is: *stationary* 1. Erasable pens 2. 2-3 highlighters 3. 3-5 spiral notebooks (I will label them) 4. Planner 5. Markers 6. Scissors 7. Pencil 8. *two rulers* Schedule: (in the morning
Hi! Thank you for the list, but i just wanted to say to not use erasable pens for notes, i used to use them but when i opened my notebook the ink was fading and i really couldn’t understand what it was.
For real though, last year we didn’t use or social studies class notebooks, reading class notebooks, and math notebooks. This year they i don’t have to bring Any of that stuff due to my school getting yelled at by a whole bunch of parents wasting their money on things we don’t need 😂
Another tip for school supplies: Instead of buying a bunch of unnecessary school supplies just for aesthetics, customize the school supplies you NEED that are ON THE LIST to your liking. Just make sure you're sticking to what's ON THE LIST.
@revisign 0:24 My favorite part of the Back to School Process DEFINITELY has to be the supplies shopping, and I don't think anyone can disagree to that. :)
It makes me nervous to go back at online school again knowing that it might stress us out for once, but also these tips are incredibly helpful for us students. ❤
Im mentally prepared for lectures, homeworks and projects and I like attending to school but I am not fucking mentally prepared for interaction. I hate the first days where its just introduction, catching up with each other, presentation of rules and saint of the class😒 Im tired already I just want to learn. In different I go to school to study and learn not to be constantly reminded of cringy life lessons, school rules and to catch up with classmates and teachers
this is why i miss online school, there u just skip the bs and get right into the necessary learning. you also don't have to interact with people between lessons 😔💔
I just got a job and I’m going into my freshmen year of hs, I found that using things I like such as anime pens or sticker bombing my notebook with anime stickers helps me do work and focus a lot more, I’m spending around 150 of my own money on some items for the school year so that I really do good and enjoy it☺️ it always brightens my day to pick out what character pen I wanna use and what themed notebooks I wanna use☺️
@@xxwafflenookxx2275 oh, here in Saudi Arabia it's 18 everywhere unless it's a small local job, so I thought it was the same in I think America or wherever you are from.
I successfully earned a doctorate degree in clinical psychology…I cannot support more fully the need for getting the right amount of sleep, and keeping your sleep schedule the same on the weekends, so you don’t have Monday “sleep hangover.” Additionally, doing all assignments as they are given, and giving yourself AT LEAST a week to study for exams, as revisign states in her videos will make a huge difference in your grades and overall sanity (reducing anxiety, giving yourself break times, not cramming all night when your brain is tired, etc.). All of the ideas presented here are fantastic, but I wanted to highlight these two specifically for being extremely helpful in grad school for me, and undergrad as well.
I feel like one of the biggest mistakes in high school was not having as much fun as I should've. Of course grades come first, but actually enjoying my time there, appreciating how lucky I was to get an education, making friends, and even being more involved with the school. It would've made my time there a lot more meaningful besides the education part. So appreciate the privilege to be educated, go say hi to that person you've been smiling at in the halls/class, get involved in that club/school event! You only live high school once, so do it your way in the most valuable way you know how :)
@@newseason3917 and that’s okay bc they probably weren’t meant to be yk? sometimes that’s just how it is and honestly it might depend on the school you went to. i didn’t have any friends but it was because i didn’t click with anyone at my school bc i was forced to go to a private school lol. just keep reaching out :) don’t give up yet. and if you end up not making friends, don’t let that bring you down either because you can still accomplish great things and make your time valuable at school still
Also for university I hear the “two notebooks rule” is really helpful, but hard to do in high/secondary school. Basically it’s when you have a rough one for in lessons which you use to get down notes, and the neat one which you copy the notes across. Not only does this help to revise the facts, but also if you are unclear in something it’s made obvious straight away, rather than you thinking you know it but you actually don’t. My biggest problem is that I do exam questions to revise… but I then don’t actually revise the stuff I realise I don’t know from doing those questions. I also find that flash cards/writing stuff down repeatedly helps in English lit for quotes from the lit you study; but when it comes to maths, it’s pure practise; and when it comes to science it’s more explaining it to someone, exam questions, and a little bit of fact Revision. Art is… hoping you do enough.
I fcking hate writing, not like writing diary way, taking notes way. my hands hurt and I don't really understand what I'm writing. I have to read it in the end there was this English teacher in elementary school who made us rewrite all the notes we wrote in the whole semester, only a few students did it. She would say these would affect our grades but it didn't. writing those didn't help me at all, and I learned English more by watching videos with subtitles and Google Translate. -Minecraft mod review videos to be specific-
As someone who's going into their last year of high school, I'd say only thing to really get is a deep book at with many many pockets, enough big notebooks, and or binders for the number of classes you have, get stuff to wear that's comfortable but also doesn't make you look like a bum, get stuff done on time and try not to miss that much school. Trying to catch up 3 weeks worth of school assignments was awful. And all that was due to covid. Bring your own mini medical kit, masks, hand sanitizer, and plenty of pens bc writing notes will eat that them up. And make sure it's the good kind too cause the crappy ones suck. And make sure you wash your clothes and shower. Do that and you'll be fine
This video was really helpful! I'm back at university after a two year break and one of my biggest corncerns is whether or not I will be able to stay on track with my studies. I used to try reading my text books from cover to cover and take excessive notes. This made my progress reaaally slow and I ended up being so frustrated. It also made exams so much more scary, since I knew there would be a lot of syllabus litterature that I hadn't had time to read. "Studying smarter, not harder has been a really good motto for me lately, and your study tips have been so helpful and motivating! 🙏
"setting goals based on numerical values" This hits really close for me, since I was a kid I had the first place in mu classroom and I was on the top 5 best students of my whole school, recently everything is getting harder and I feel like I cannot be as good as I used to be. The issue is that now everyone expects the best of me, Once I got a 93 on my english class and the teacher told me "That score is quite low for someone as you", It just makes me push myself to far to get the best scores and avoid judgement
Fr so relatable, I’ve been in some form of advanced classes since first grade and so everyone has very high expectations for me (I’m going into 10th grade now)
I’ve always bought an insane amount of pens and stationery and this year I decided not to. The one pen I’ve used this semester has been my uni jetstream 4&1 pen and I love how I only have to carry that and a few highlighters/felt tip markers instead of a huge pencil case. Best decision ever.
Thank you for your comment! This year of 7th grade I wanted to take super pretty notes and was planning on getting midi-liners felt tip markers super cute stationary and all that good stuff but now I realize, do I actually need all that stuff? Just a few highlighters, gel pens, and some other things will do.
when she said the scrolling on social media i immediately sat up bc i was legit doing hw before and i started watching this vid. should probablyyyy go do that now
2:22 it pains me how true this is even considering my last 2 years of high school when everything got shut down for corona. I have toned it down over the years with what I personally consider useful. Now I mainly obsess over things like my black pens since it's what I use most and planners/agendas. Every now and then I'll buy some other stationery for serotonin purposes. Now going into my first year of college, Ill probably only need my laptop
last year i wasnt really focusing on studies bc of my best friend, but now she left me, meaning i can finally focus on school and go back to having flawless grades
posters work best for me! taken me 5 years of secondary school and 1 year of college to figure it out... but now revising is so easy. I include a lot of diagrams, but it's not jam-packed, and I blu tack them to my wall as a collage next to my desk. It's honestly so helpful. I do recommend
1) not reflecting on the previous semester, summarizing the lessons you learned, mistakes to avoid. 2) buying an excess amount of stationary items (just for the aesthetics) 3) falling into the mentality that "i can always make up for it later" 4) setting goals based on numerical values or things you do not have control over 5) not maintaining a proper morning routine and sleep schedule 6) scrolling theough social media when you encounter difficult questions or assignments 7) not utilizing free onlines resources to enhance your learning
the 3 mistake: saying "I can make up for it later" earlier in the year I used to say that to myself but as I got farther in the year I started to say that after I took my test. But usually I get A's and B's so I didn’t need it that often. 💗
In my country, high school is very dedicated to passing the exams to get into universities, so we can't help but think about numerical values. Even though our grades at the end of the year are good, we still worry about the grades we will get in the entrance exams.
I maaayyy be 2 years late, but I think that hanging around the wrong people should be one. I’m halfway through year 7 (first year of high school), and I’ve been hanging around people that like to skip, not do their work ect. It’s really been affecting me, meaning I’m failing and not taking school as seriously to “fit in” please do not do what I did, it’s like a whirlpool, once your in you cannot get back out! Find the right people to hang around, because once you get attached there’s no turning back
Too true. I used to hang around with a really toxic friend group, but I managed to amicably distance myself from them. Now I have to close friends and my school life got so much better!
My academic goals are 1. Maintain my gpa for the scholarship I'm on. 2. Practice at least 10 minutes per day, no excuses. 3. Be more intentional and disciplined with my study time.
This was super useful especially the procrastination part about checking Instagram for instant satisfaction was bang on! And every single tip was very useful!!
As a contrary point to not looking at the answer immediately, sometimes if you’re really struggling, especially in a mathematical subject, it’s helpful to look at the answer and figure out how they got there :)
Maintaining a good screen schedule is the most difficult on imo. I have to wake up at 6:00am to get to school on time, which leaves me a bit rushed if I’m to eat breakfast, wash my face, pack my bags, walk the dogs, etc etc, but waking any earlier is pretty unreasonable. I used to wake up at 5-5:30 and it’s just not a viable option for someone like me who struggles getting to sleep quickly
Did you just pinpoint all of my mistakes last year- lmao Last year for me was an extremely roller coaster ride. I had so many problems encountered especially in my mental health and ended up giving up my grades, to heal my mental health. I never regret it, but my grades were disappointing to look at. I'm going to improve it this year slowly, surely, and wholeheartedly.💚 Thank you for these essential tips!!
7 mistakes to avoid for back to school: 1. not reflecting in the previous semester, summarizing the lessons you learned, mistakes to avoid. 2. buying an excess amount of stationer items (just for the aesthetics). 3. falling into the mentality that “i can always make up for it later.” 4. setting goals based on numerical values or things you do not have control over. 5. not maintaining a proper morning routine and sleep schedule. 6. scrolling through social media when you encounter difficult questions or assignments. 7. not utilizing free online resources to enhance your learning.
Omg girl.. I saw your video just now, aaaand.. It was EXTREMLY helpful! I was so stressed every day in the last school year, and I just found the right way of studying because of you! Thank soooo much! Big love from Slovakia!
My biggest mistake for year 7 is thinking it started on September 5th and not September 2nd. So basically missed my introduction and tour around the school and not meeting my classmates. :(
I have to take all three of my classes online because we only have one car. So miss being able to go to campus. I live over one in a half hours away from campus and can’t wear a mask. Love your videos. They help me so much. Thank you.
I spent so much time on note taking last trimester, it's true. We need to keep reviewing and reflecting. I'll try to balance out my reading and writing of study materials
i definitely agree with these tips! im a junior now, but when i was a freshman i would procrastinate in all of my classes so i ended up failing 2 of them. so i had to make them up during summer school. it was the WORST!! i totally recommend doing ur work on time and getting rid of the “i’ll make it up later mindset”.
I started actually studying for my science test (last one) and rewriting my notes neatly. I was the only one in my class with a passing grade let alone a decent grade
thank you! this is so helpful,, i was also in the mindset where i thought a different factor affected my my performance, but now that i know, i’ll try a different study method!
1. Don't make the same mistakes as last year 2.Buying to much things for school ( just buy what you need) 3. Not making an effort saying "I can make up for it later" 4.Setting Goals on thing you DON'T have control over (miracle number) 5.Not maintaining a morning and night routine 6. Scrolling through social media when something is to long or too hard 7. Don't take advantage of online pages
My stationery essentials: A black pen that you like writing with, a green pen for marking your work, a ruler (self explanatory), a rubber (self explanatory - I’m English so rubber not eraser lol), highlighters to make words stand out or to make titles etc and a pencil for maths and subjects where you need to rub out a lot. I would just say the whole time you’re in class just take notes and make them look pretty after. The key thing is to get all of the information that you need down!!
7:15 my best tip is that always keep your phone on do not disturb, grayscale and most importantly remember why you are studying and what you want to accomplish. It has helped me realise my focus and keep my phone away. Hope this helps! ;)
Yessss!!!!! I was waiting for this video even though I already started school today :) I’m planning to be very productive and start my school year strong (I’m 8th grade btw 😭)
It’s been a year and a half since I graduated. And it been two years and a half since I’ve been in actual school. I start my first year of college in a month, so thanks for these tips!
I’m not looking forward to my senior year of high school to start, one of my teachers is ableist and it’s made me feel really bad, and I’ll probably have them again this year.
When I was in seventh grade I fell behind like a lot I was months and months behind but I ended up barely passing and when I started eighth grade last year I was worried that I was going to end up doing the same thing as before but instead I finished a couple months early
the first one is already a mistake i have been doing since high school... i only started reflecting on my learnings during college & it's really helpful in improving long-term memory i was not very obsessed w/ stationary but i get bothered so much by how "neat" my writing is 😭 it takes up most of my time i need to train myself to realize that as long as it's organized according to my way of learning the way i write would not affect much
My goal for this upcoming school sholl year is to understand everything what my teacher says about,study well and work hard for achieving my goals.Be productive while staying organized and make to be actatic.Do get good score in exames. Follow my study planner everyday.lmprove my handwriting and my English speaking, writing skills. Your product's are so adorable and so actatic I relly need like those things.Thank for the giveaway ❤️
stationary motivates me when theyre cat themed, they're absolutely needed (i actually use them a lot tho) i like everything of mine being pink and cat themed and i mean everything the pink or cat stuff in my room is uncountable no like literally
Tbh the scrolling through the phone while tryna memorize for an exam is true. I have like a class in grade 5 where I do my homework and it really helped since I don’t have any gadgets close to me and I’m more focused on actually memorizing.
“Don’t fall into the mindset of ‘I can just make up for it later” Fr fr I failed 3 classes because of this and I promise you it’s just easier to try your best the first time **edited cause of typos **
Personal advice: usually, my school would give students a list of chapters we had to study to prepare fir the exam, and my School would hand-out these lists a month or so before an exam. Before, I would only start studying a week or 2 before an upcoming exam. but recently I started studying the day my teacher give me the list. when I got my results back, I got 1-2 grades higher then b4. (Im lazy and don't want to study everyday but personally this works for me. and I might start studying a chapter every time my teacher finishes teaching a chapter. this is my own personal experience/opinion, I just wanna share this info w/ someone who wants to know I guess)
The only one that I don’t fully agree with is searching up answers because I feel like that solely depends on the person because some people benefit from seeing the answer to a question but only if they take the time to understand why that is the answer to a question. Other than that great tips
with the excuse at: 3:31 I like to have a reverse mindset like if I get good grades throughout the entire semester and end up with an a/b before my final, when I take my final I can get between a 65-90% and still end up with a pretty good grade
