beautiful Cewl 

> esp girls are so mean when they find an easy target
yeah it fucking sucks and it's mostly one or two very mean people and the others just join the group to feel like they are on the strong side or just avoid being targeted 

> i study by writing
based based based!!!!!!

OK brothers and sister you triggered me talking about studies so here it is the ultimate guide for learning anything (not true I mean technical subject matter)

GOLDEN RULES
1. BE PASSIONATE. this should be obvious but hey that's why it's a golden rule. You MUST genuinely be interested in what you're studying. I know, it's unlikely you find 100% of your lectures and topics SUPER interesting but if you hate most of it what the fuck are you doing with your life go study something else bro / sis
2. PAY ATTENTION AT CLASS. Yep. You MUST learn during class. Get there with enough energy and focus (not easy I know!) and the INTENTION to learn. If something is unclear, ask. There is no dumb question. If it doesn't work during the lecture, GO FIND THE LECTURER and ASK, he's there to TEACH, GO.
3. DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND. What I mean is: do not take shortcuts in your learning path. You are here to UNDERSTAND. You are not here to memorize or to learn how to pass a test. Something must click and you have to KNOW you are mastering the topic (we will see later how to do it). This means no handwavy halfassed illusion of understanding. IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW. If you don't, you shouldn't trick yourself into believing you know. This takes more time at first but is a HUGE time unlock all things considered. 


Rule number 2 forces you to study at a regular pace, do NOT fall behind (yes sometimes it's impossible, well this is the ideal condition, then you have backup plans ofc). Rule number 1 and 3 give you the necessary foundation. (didn't think about the order, never wrote down my thoughts on this)


Now that we are down with the golden rules, let's move to
GENERAL TIPS
1. WRITE DOWN STUFF. Yep what works for our dear Cewl works for a lot of other people! You might think it's not time efficient but hey IT WORKS. On top of being a good *input* for knowledge, it is also a very good test to truly know you *understand* (rule 3) the topic. When you write down stuff you cannot easily BULLSHIT yourself into believing you understood. Towards the similar goal: PRESENT. Yep. Teach. Explain the topic to someone else and see how it goes. Which leads me to tip number 2.
2. GET A BUDDY. Studying together can be a huge waste of time if it's just spending time together and get distracted. What works is having someone you click with and can help you bounce back ideas. What you don't understand, they will. What they don't, you will. Present ideas to each other. Question EVERYTHING until you know you know.
ALERT: do NOT fall in love with your study buddy lol
3. Related to 1 again kek - DRAW DIAGRAMS - ok maybe it's just me I'm more visual but it helps a lot to make summaries with flow diagrams, maps, hell just give me bubbles and arrows and I'll make it work
