The art of study

The time to study is upon us, and this time is horrid. One has the potential to crack under the pressure, go crazy and kill teachers, or even consider failing.

To maintain sanity, study-breaks are mandatory. Don't think you will be smarter if you study for 5 hours straight, you will be smartly mistaken and possibly a little brain-dead. Study for as long as you can normally concentrate. If you don't know when that is, think of your brain as a microwave, instead if going "beep" when  you have lost concentration, your brain goes "blehg" or "meh." When you "meh," back away from the books with your hands up.

You can go for a walk, watch some TV, or just chill on your bed with your eyes closed. Do anything that doesn't involve studying. Study-breaks are good as long as you can manage your time right. Don't study for an hour, imagine the "meh" and take a break for 4 hours, you will fail, or do poorly in that next test.

And if you're writing English about "The Great Gatsby" for example, watching the movie doesn't count. Actual books have to be studied. The last time I checked, movies don't have an option to view the themes. There are no shortcuts in studying, just study hard enough to do well, and relax enough not to go completely insane!

Right, my brain went "meh" half an hour ago. Time to reheat..... Meh
