How to get straight A's this semester by SakanaFace

"5 classes, 2 jobs, and i still got straight A's!"

How I did it: first, i know it's not always easy, but try to take classes you are at least remotely interested in. i know there are generals you HAVE to take, and have no choice, but still. make a friend who can tell you when you miss stuff, or with whom you can study with.
it's a lot of work, and with two jobs i was sleep deprived, but once the work was over it was worth it.

Lessons & tips: go to the library or somewhere quiet and study A LOT. get a group or a friend who is willing to study with you adn help motivate you.

Resources: my most useful tool was my PLANNER. write EVERYTHING IN IT! every assignment, every test, everything, so you won't forget. doesn't matter how smart you are if you're not prepared.

Jesyka Bartlett is trying.

It took me
4 months
It made me
happy

How I did it: This was the first semester of my college career when I was interested in every single class I was taking. I took art, yoga, fitness (just exercising), alternative medicine, and religions. It was easy to do homework when I was excited about the reading! And my fitness and yoga classes excited me because I was getting fit and losing weight. Win win! Read how I did it…

    Numbers & Letters 1 week ago

    Although I don’t believe that you can define someone’s intelligence by a number or a letter, it’s all about getting into a good grad school so that I can one day be a professor.

    I’ve been working really hard; hopefully it’ll all pay off!

    New semester, new chances to succeed! 2 months ago

    Well my new semester started 3 weeks ago, and until now I haven’t missed a class and am at least at schedule with my reading. My next goal is to be a week ahead with my reading.
    I think I am doing better this time, I am very motivated and can get myself to work more easily. In a few weeks to first midterms….so we’ll see how I am realy doing.

    getting started with the right attitude! 4 months ago

    I always have this as a goal, but somehow I always mess up and end up with just average grades eventhough I can do better.
    I can think of a 100 stupid excuses but in the end, when I think I should be able to do so….I should also prove it!

    So, this is my main goal until I will manage to reach it.

    My Crazy Self 6 months ago

    I’m a college student working full-time (like crazy) who is moving out soon, and I’ll be living on my own for the first time. I will be majoring in Anthropology (double majoring but not sure what yet), and hopefully with a minor in Chinese or Music, and Asian Studies.

    I love cultures, languages, and the fine arts.
    Food and cooking is always fun.
    Love to choreograph Asian ethnic dances
    And Im always open to learn new things

    Owning up 9 months ago

    I want to apply myself like I’ve never done before so I can get straight A’s this semester. I’ve been getting through college barely passing so I think its time for me to stop getting in my own way and making excuses for myself because of my fear of success… if that even makes sense. I started the semester about a month ago and got A’s in my first two test ya!!!! I have another sociology test coming up soon…lets see how it goes

    On my way to the dean's list! 11 months ago

    I’ve never received straight A’s at any point in high school, so now I’d like to prove to myself that it’s possible even in college. Not only do I want the satisfaction of reading those grades at the end of the term online, but also to qualify for some organizations on campus the following yr. It’d be fantastic!
