12 Tips For Successful Studying
Life Teen

Now that school is back in session, the University of Indianapolis Odyssey team is back with our weekly listicles! To kick off the semester, we compiled a list of our best study tips to hopefully help anyone who is struggling.

1. Kayla

"Get a planner and actually use it or else you will miss something."

2. Maia

"Each day, I make a list of all the assignments I need to have done by the end of the day. Making the assignment load look more manageable and being able to cross them off when I'm done help me to continue to be productive."

3. Bryson

"When studying or doing homework, turn off anything that may distract you, like your phone."

4. Elizabeth

"Rewrite your notes that you took in class. With the repetition, you retain the information better. And you can put it in your own words so you can understand it more easily when you read it back."

5. Kate

"Always study with a group because they might have notes that you missed during class or understand the material better than you do."

6. Sydney

"Figure out what works best for you. I personally work better with classical music playing, and some people work better in complete silence. Some people can't work in their dorm rooms, and others work best there. It's all about what works best personally."

7. Hallie

"Color code your notes! It makes studying way easier in the end!"

8. Mallory

"Time management. Make an hour by hour schedule of your day/assignments/times to study for the day ahead."

9. Gabrielle

"Keep your syllabus handy, highlight all due dates, and also write them in a planner."

10. Alexis

"My best study tip would be to attend all classes!"

11. Kasandra

"Use a planner, keep your syllabi handy, and find a study place!"

12. Kaitlin

"Keep everything super organized with tabbed and labeled binders so evverything is easily accessible. And keep old quizzes and tests so that when exam time comes around studying isn't so stressful, as you'll have those as a guide."

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
