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 />
