Life 101: School

So, this blog is basically going to change into my advice on everything, from Relationships, to Dealing with Death, to even How to Motivate yourself to get up in the morning. God knows I have problems with that.

*Ahem*
School. The gateway to a future of your own making. The mechanism by which you choose whether or not you live in your Mom's basement until you're 40 years old. Yes, gentlemen, it actually IS that important. Nowadays, you need education just to get a job sweeping asphalt in a used-car dealership. (They never have that job anymore, just go with it.)

So, I'm sure you're wondering: What can I do to guarantee my future is a good one NOT in a basement?
There's a couple tips and tricks to do and manage your life.

First and foremost, STAY ORGANIZED. Make a binder for every class, file everything away unless it needs to be done instantly. This is a life-saving strategy; I can't tell you how important it is to know where everything of yours is at any time. Makes finding your homework a piece of cake.

Second, put up some sort of log or calendar marked with what you need to do in a place you frequent. If you sit your ass on the computer and read this blog a lot, place it right next to the screen. Hell, you could sit it up by your shower for all I care. As SOON as you get home every day, write down the due-dates for every assignment you've gotten new, check what you need to do and then get started.

Finally, remember to NEVER, NEVER, NEVER (to infinity) cram for tests. Oh, My, GOD that is a bad Idea. To put it shortly, it'll just go into your left ear and come spilling out the right when you actually NEED it. Pace yourself with retaining the material; around 15 minutes of studying every two-to-three days is good. That's a total of AROUND 45 minutes a week. Not much.
