STRAIGHT A's in HARD college classes | harvard student

[@brandonsaffold6588]

I am also a 4.0 student and every tip here is the golden key to success in education. There is just a couple things to also remember. A big tip is to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!! Never say “I can’t.” And take advantage of the college resources and breaks in between classes. I sometimes have 2-4 hours in between classes and ill go to the library or learning resource center to complete the bulk of my work. You can achieve anything if you really want to .

[@ShaMichelle]

I absolutely love this advice and completely agree!!!

[@theab5867]

Does it count to be on the deans list if I only took 9 credits over the summer? You all motivate me and I can’t wait to push myself in the fall. Hopefully another group of A’s

[@brandonsaffold6588]

Every college is different but mine sent a letter if you complete 9 credit hours during the summer with A’s

[@user-mf7eb5he6y]

note: study idea that may or may not work, when taking notes; remember to sprinkle in good questions (easy, moderate, and hard) and when revising your notes frequently, answer the questions as if you were talking to/ explaining the topic to another person (or do) and if you’ve got extra time and you wanna fuck around (which rarely anyone has or does) you can create a powerpoint or a small presentation, presenting all that you know about the lessons you learned/ the topic (presentation can be oral, or digital, it’s up to you) *this note was for me but i wanted to share

[@sweetmatta684]

Thank you girl❤️🥰

[@aIizard]

I’m a freshman college student and while I might not be a straight a student this semester, knowing that others are through the same struggle and have overcome it is very inspiring and helps me push on, thank you!

[@ShaMichelle]

YOU GOT THIS!

[@Monster-kd3lm]

I'm a senior in High school and I am TERRIFIED to leave my home state and family for Uni after this semester. These tips were so helpful and made me less terrified (still pretty nervous lol). Seriously though, great video and I am glad you enjoyed your Uni experience! also congrats on straight A's in Harvard!! Holy crap.

[@ShaMichelle]

Thank you and I'm glad that you liked it! Just know that you're not alone with being nervous about leaving home but everything will work out! and you'll have alot of fun along the way haha!!

[@MichaelaFlowers929]

These were amazing tips! My first semester at Vandy has taught me to take advantage of campus resources like tutoring, office hours, and study groups! I need to work on overcoming the fear of getting help and keeping my best interests in mind to prioritize health and academic success...I loved the video!!

[@brendagarrett3400]

Wow! You NAILED IT! Now it is time to write a book!!! This video is so on target. Great advice for college success! Awesome!!!

[@taycassomadethat]

This helped! I’m going to remember office hours. Those have helped in the past and I’m trying to go from a high B back to an A before the end of the semester and maintain it.

[@taycassomadethat]

thank you so much! i got my A back! you are definitely on point in every way girl! love it.

[@imthatjay]

Your last point made me realize why I struggled in my last semester (my first semester) I had 6 days a week of classes... bit thankfully this semester I have only 3 days, thanks for the advice.

They're usually on the syllabus for the class! College classes often know everything that'll be required for the entire year before the school year starts.

I looked at my syllabus for one of my classes and it doesn’t show. So should I email them or what should I do to get those assignments and there due dates??? And btw thank you for your first response!❤

@@Chocolataworld000 theres a 14-15 year old in 7th grade, youre fine. Just work hard, study when you need too, even if you dont want too. Motivation just doesnt come out of nowhere, it’s in you. You create motivation, you have to do it when you dont even want too. Create goals, not dreams. Dont say “you cant” or “I wont get there or i wont be successful”, say “I will do it.” “I will get there and I wont stop until I will and I will reach my goals”.

Others and you say “study every night”… is that really true? Are y’all really studying literally every night? Each class every night reviewing or? What if you have a life? This advice has never made sense to me

[@Sarah-do4wq]

Like it clashes with the advice on taking a break and I’ve heard ‘study every night’ multiple times before. What does that actually look like irl?

[@ShaMichelle]

I would view “studying every night” through the lens that a little goes a long way! I wouldn’t look at every single thing every night but just spend no longer then an hour reviewing concepts I had difficulty understanding or memorizing. I do best with repetition so the continuous review worked well, but it’s all based on your learning style! I also would never allow my study get in the way of my social life or sleep because sleep is very important to me haha so setting certain boundaries and cutoff times will allow you the flexibility and breaks you want!
