THE ONLY THING I<br />
Smart<br />
have to say on this matter is as follows: BUY<br />
A PAIR OF GLASSES PEOPLE WHO WEAR<br />
GLASSES LOOK AND FEEL SMARTER.<br />
Kidding, kidding! That's TERRIBLE advice. Here's the<br />
real stuff. My mom always tells me that the only thing I<br />
need to worry about right now as a teenage girl is school.<br />
That’s my priority (well, that and obeying my parents<br />
—but that’s a whole different topic!) So . . . school. Ugh,<br />
right? Whether history or chemistry is your worst enemy,<br />
we all have our favorite subjects (like lunch or that<br />
moment when school ends) . . . and our not so favorite<br />
subjects. Here are tips to help conquer those less-thanfun<br />
subjects!<br />
Grab a cute notebook (notice that “cute” part—that’s<br />
important) and a colored pen and write the lesson<br />
down! I don’t know how your school is set up, but as I<br />
listen to my lectures I make doodle graphics and letter<br />
words that I don’t know the definition for. It really<br />
helps to engage your fingers. There’s something about<br />
writing words out that helps us remember them better!<br />
Take notes.<br />
2. In one school year, I must’ve gone through over 5000<br />
index cards. But hey, the technique worked and I got at<br />
least a B on my tests. You can use plain white index<br />
cards, but the neon green and pink ones are my<br />
favorite. Write out important terms on one side, and on<br />
the other scribble down the definition. This next part<br />
takes time, I know, but I promise you’ll see results!<br />
Every night before you go to bed, refresh the terms in<br />
your mind. Yeah, who wants to do school right before<br />
bed? *Groans inwardly* But it’s worth a B grade,<br />
amiright?<br />
Make index cards.<br />

Scientifically, yellow highlighters are the best for<br />
studying. Don’t ask me where I heard that from . . .<br />
highlighters.<br />
