What do you think are karmas and asanos way of studying? Like what are the methods they use to score so high..?
𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐀 + 𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐎
karma doesn't really study. he pays enough attention in class that he absorbs everything well enough and doesn't need to. he might skim through some textbooks—what they learned in class and some advanced—in preparation for exams. he casually says how he didn't study for quizzes in class and gets full marks. but, he did learn his lesson when he didn't get the greatest score on the end-of-semester exams, so he does put some effort in when it counts.
asano studies till he physically cannot anymore. he spends hours locked in his room, buried in his books with no breaks. he's fallen asleep on his desk quite a few times—he tries to will himself not to fall asleep, but fails. he also writes the stuff he's unsure about. for example, if there's something he doesn't know from his textbook, he'll write the word and definition over and over until his hand cramps. he's really serious about studying—it's honestly sad how little time he'll spend away from education materials before exams.

it is painful to learn the "normal" ways that people reasonably around my age were motivated to do things their parents wanted, ie chores or getting good grades in school. this is a pain that has built over time because, seeing it around me as a kid, i could reason that maybe every single one of my friends were just spoiled. but, eerily, every time it seems the topic of motivating children comes up in whatever conversation is bringing it up, it seems like. and it still feels presumptuous to say. but most people as children were rewarded for good behavior. the one i was most envious of as a child was that multiple of my friends got paid money for getting As, and it was actually very shocking to me to find out that that is at least kind of a little more universal than i really really was sure it was not, but that's not the big thing that causes me pause now. generally, it seems, children are rewarded in some way for doing things their parents ask of them. writing and then stepping back and reading such a sentence makes me feel like an alien trying to puzzle out the function of the human pancreas lmfao but i dont know. in the wider conversations where this happens to come up, describing these motivators is never the point, which is maybe part of the difficulty for me. it's really hard to process that not everyone was doing what their parents said to do out of cold pure fear for their life. there's so many things it turns out other kids were getting. stickers and movie tickets and candy and praise and love. i am so sad.
