cherry blossoms

the roads are lined with cherry blossoms right now,

creating a beautiful pink path.

But soon,

it will all be over,

as cherry blossoms only stay in full bloom for a short time.

Today, it feels like we’re in the middle of spring.

The cherry blossoms are starting to fall, and the roads are lightly pink with petals, but they’re no longer sparkling like before.

tip number five: practise effective note-taking techniques. 

Note-taking is the fundamentals of your higher education, and can only come by practising. Simply jotting down what you see from a slideshow is not the most effective way to understand and retain the information. Active note-taking techniques, like the Cornell method and mind mapping, can change the way you retain and process information.

The Cornell note-taking method is a structured approach that emphasises organisation and involvement. Divide your note-taking paper into three sections: one on the left, one on the right, and one at the bottom. Take notes in the right-hand column during the lecture or reading, focusing on major concepts, key points, and supporting info. After the lecture, go back your notes and jot down prompts or keywords that summarise the information in the right column in the left column. Write a brief summary of the entire page of notes in the final section. This summary serves as a quick reference for future reference.

Mind mapping is a visual note-taking approach that utilises diagrams to communicate conceptual links. Begin at the centre of your page with a key point, central idea or topic. Extend the basic theme with subtopics or main points. Connect them using lines. Expand on each subtopic with relevant details, examples, and supporting information. Make your mind map more aesthetically appealing and remembered by using colours, symbols, and images.

The connecting element among all strategies is active participation. Actively digesting material while taking notes, rather than simply writing words, it increases cognitive involvement. As a result, comprehension, memory retention, and recall improve during tests or assignments.

Active participation also fosters critical thinking. You're essentially analysing the material as you go while you're organising thoughts, summarising stuff, and visually showing linkages. This practice increases higher-order thinking skills, making it simpler to comprehend complex issues and efficiently apply your knowledge.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 15 tips through 15 days— follow me for more study tips and aesthetic content.

tip number one: define your goals for the upcoming academic year and how you intend to achieve them.

what do you aim to achieve in each subject? Set goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

instead of saying something generic like, "I want to do well in English. I'll do this by reading."

you can use the guidelines (SMART) above, and instead establish a goal such as, "I'd like to further develop my vocabulary by the end of the semester. This will be achieved by reading books above my comprehension level and keeping a vocabulary list of words I don't understand."

this goal is SMART. It is specific (develop vocabulary), measurable (vocabulary list) achievable (reading books), relevant (books above comprehension level will make you more familiar with new vocabulary), and time-bound (the end of semester).

write down your goals and keep them accessible throughout the year. This allows you to better focus your efforts and track your success.

what are some of your goals for the next academic year?
