This time feels different than any other time, for once, I’m not stressed out about finals coming up. I’ve been studying way beforehand and progressing at a remarkable pace with my new found technique called concept mapping. Although it may not work for others, it works like magic for me; everything seems to seep into my brain effortlessly. Although I haven’t been going out much, I actually feel good about studying, time flies and I’m sort of having fun, not with Anthro but with Personality Psyche, yes. I feel quite good about this upcoming examinations Good so now that I’ve learned a new technique I’m happy and exciting to keep using it in other studies, especially in University.  How I do it is, first I read through the text – I also picked up some tips for speed reading too – then I highlight key words, after I’m done with one section, I go back and pick out the highlighted words and make a concept map out of it. I review the map and make sentences in my mind looking at the map, proving I understand the information, and then I’m complete It’s so much fast than taking long wordy notes, and I usually end up copying the whole sentence and try to remember the sentence, not putting it into my own words and understanding it fully. That’s how I’m going to ace my test, just remembering the key points, then string them together, and viola! I don’t need to rack my brain for bullshit to write anymore yay!
