Study- tips for summer

Some of you will frown at reading this. WHAT studying in summer ??? But for some of us it's not a question mark. It's real.

In College you have to do exams, where you failed at, for a second time in august - september, so that means that you have to study in your summer vacation.
Because it's so difficult to study when everyone else in your area has the time of their lifes, i'm going to give you some study tips.

1. Work hard, play hard
Study hard but take great breakes, go to the beach, cinema, go out with your friends. ( it's vacation afterall)

2. make a scheme 
Even if you don't follow it, it can be handy. It doesn't have to be in detail , for example :
Monday : study day / tuesday : day off but in the evening study. You can always make one in detail but that's more difficult to follow.

3. Throw away any disturbing items ( not litteraly)
I don't mean you have to throw your iphone in the trash but put it on a place far away of your study place. Cover your playstation/xbox/wii , put away your laptop ( except if you need it to study, but then make sure your internet connexion is off). In your breaks you can check for texts or facebook-whatever.

4. Environment 
Study on a place that you like most. Good weather outside? study outside ( in the shadow ). Study inside if you like, make sure there's enough light ( not to much) and a little airco if it gets to warm. Aks your mom/dad to make some refreshing things ( or make it yourself * ) You can put on music ! Some people say that really helps. If you take breaks, don't sit all the time on your table : go for a trip with your dog, dance! , sing or do a sport.( short breaks) if you take a long break you can go with friends ( because having fun with friends is the best way to motivate you) to the beach, bars, ..

* we will put on recipes for cocktails/smoothies/..

5 Choose your best way of studying
My favorite methode is writing everything down. It takes more time, hurts my hand , but it's helpfull for me. I understand it better that way.
Also the ears are a great way to remember things : you can read it out loud.
Maybe your best way is making a summary , coloring everything, ... you just have to find out what's your best method.


And don't forget to take breaks and have FUN !

Good luck !
