I'm writing this for you high-fliers who want to do your best, reach your potential, show the world what you got! Ya, that was me at the beginning of 2012. At the end of it, I passed all of my 20 subjects, with 8 distinctions (75% +). And I want you to do better than me. So here are the secrets revealed.
1. Wander around your house or res. Just keep your mind clear and keep walking. Sooner or later you will land up at your study desk. When you get there, there may be notes around. Don't touch them. Stare at them, still keeping your mind clear. Walk out the room. Repeat.
2. Whatever pillows you own, throw them out this instant. .......(waiting for you to bin them).....from now on, you will use your textbooks as pillows. This way, the information will be absorbed straight into your cranium overnight! For 7 hours straight!
3. When in lectures, pay careful attention to what the lecturer is wearing as this will give you insight into your subject material. E.g. Is she wearing black? The information she is sharing with you in that lecture will probably only be important at night time. Is she wearing a lot of makeup? The lecture will only be necessary in 54% of your life.
4. During the night, wake up once every hour, go to the kitchen and fix yourself a glass of milk with a tablespoon of honey in it. Make sure you drink it in 5 sips, but on the third hour, drink it in two. The last time: be sure to wash your glass so that nobody will know.
5. When talking to anyone about anything, use the correct academic vocabulary. This is a university, not a jail house gamble session. Never say "I like your dress", rather, "You walk in beauty like the night." Never "Can I have a chicken mayo sandwich" but "I solemnly request of you one of those delightful inventions of the Earl of Sandwich, and that it shall be filled with both poultry and dressing." You will be the lunch lady's dream. Also make sure the words are spelled correctly when speaking.
6.When looking at a textbook, make sure to look at it from a variety of angles. It really helps to turn it upside down and see what words pop out at you from the page. This kind of the equivalent to listening to Led Zeplin backwards to find out their demon lyrics. (These days, the demon lyrics of songs are in the forward version.)
Finally, some advice that will work!
