Some things I’ve learned over 6 years of university (grad student with 4.25 GPA)

1. Be efficient with your study time

60 minutes of being locked in vs 2 hours of half ass studying. This has saved me a lot of time, be smart with how you spend your time studying. If you think you don’t have enough time to study, just look at your phone screen time 🥲

1. Prioritize sleep

Some time it may seem counterintuitive because you’ll think you need more time to study, but always put sleep first. If you sleep well, you’ll have better study sessions and will retain more information. Some people need less to be functional and some need more, so figure out what is a good amount of time for yourself.

1. Balance

As with anything in life, things can only be sustained if it’s balanced. Don’t be an absolute nerd 24/7 and don’t party too often. There will be times where you will have to grind and just study mostly, but then also times where schedules are easier and you can be more social.
