The studying paid off!!

     Studying is something I have taken more serious now that I am in college. If you have read my last blog on studying you remember me saying that in high school I didn't really study much or at all in some cases. When I got to college that changed and I think that was a good thing. I have learned how to study efficiently. I make flashcards, I simply put the word on one side and the definition on the other side of the flashcard and study it over and over. While studying I realized I memorize the definitions or phrases/sentences much more easily in comparison of just grabbing my notebook and reading through it. The first test in my psychology class I didn't do to great but I didn't really study I just reviewed my notebook 15 minutes before I took the test which wasn't a good idea. The outcome of doing that wasn't pretty, I got serious and told myself I would study everyday until I got the material. I did and I just took my last test and got a way better grade in comparison to the first time I took the test. Seeing my results from studying and making it a daily routine made me happy and I was excited which I found a bit funny because I've never felt so accomplished over passing a test. I believe I have found an efficient way of studying and have learned that anything worth accomplishing or getting is worth working for!
