All throughout high school I have had all different kinds of studying habits that actually work for me. If I have a rough day, sometimes I study just to help get my mind off of things. I study for all my tests and quizzes. If you have problems studying or don't really know how to, the following is a list of different study methods that might help you out.

Flashcards

Flashcards are my favorite thing to use when I study. They're easy to make and they work well for me. Using flashcards makes the term or whatever you're studying, stick in your head.

Using different colored pens or markers also makes it really easy to remember and a lot more fun to look at. If you know that the test will be based word for word from the textbook, using flashcards makes it really easy to memorize things the exact way they need to be.

DIY quizzes and tests

Going along with flashcards, handwriting your own tests or quizzes is a great idea. Look at old assignments or notes and copy down those questions.

I like to make my "tests" about 20-30 questions long just to make sure I answer every type of question. Use the assignments you copied down as the key and you're good to go.

Rewriting notes

Looking at old notes and rewriting them in your own words or just copying them down word for word, helps you memorize whatever you're studying.

Using different colored pens or markers makes it a little more fun to look at and helps you memorize them better.

Reading out loud

When I'm assigned a book to read, I have to read out loud to myself or else I don't understand what I'm reading very well. I'm not saying in the middle of class just start talking to yourself, but when you are home, then you can read to yourself if you have to.

Growing up you've heard English teachers say, "read your papers out loud, it really helps." Reading books out loud to yourself is the same concept.

Listening to someone else read to you

So let's say you are in class and you really need to finish this book so you read it in class. Go to YouTube and search, "Audio of (the book you're reading)" Listening to someone read to you is the same if not better than reading out loud to yourself.

Personally, listening to someone read and reading with them helps me pay attention a lot better and makes me understand what I'm reading rather than just scanning the words.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
