Welcome to Lazy Studying.
Last year, I got into the aesthetic of pretty notes and gel pens, but it took way too much time, so I stopped. Unfortunately, I’m in AP Gov/Econ and need to study, so I had to pick it back up. I decided to procrastinate and eventually found the answer to my problems while searching for the answer to my problems. Isn’t that ironic?

1) Work Smarter, Not Harder - The triangle of learning has the answer to all of your problems, much like the triangle of food does. There’s active and passive learning; active learning is what gets you to retain the information more.

2) Quizlet is Your Bestie-estie - It’s carrying me; that’s all I can say.

3) Review Guides - These papers carry me bridal style into the sunset. I love review papers, and if you aren’t given any, use old quizzes and tests given in the class to make your own.

4) Work Smarter, Not Harder The Sequel - Using my beloved triangle of learning we can find a couple of methods that help us out.

a: “I’m Delusional for Academia” - Start talking to yourself, or talk to a rubber ducky, or your pet fish, or a stuffed animal, or a taxidermy stuffed animal – you get the idea. Teaching your inanimate objects whatever you’re learning about will save you.

b: “‘What’s your name, man?’ ‘Alexander Hamilton… My name is Alexander Hamilton…’” - Bring out your inner theatre kid and rewrite and repeat what you need to know before devastation reigns.

c: “Blurt” - Put all you know on the topic on a piece of paper and then look to find what you missed, then write that down and highlight it. Repeat for all topics you need to know before finals.
