In college you learn a lot of crazy study tips. I don't know if all of these really work, but they work for me.

If you're not a coffee drinker then smell coffee beans when you study. Take the beans with you on the day of your quiz and smell them before the quiz. Smell is directly tied to the limbic system, which deals with memory. It makes a pattern. If you drink coffee, you're probably gonna need some other smell, but make sure it's something you can bring in a classroom.

Take notes in class, and later say them out loud in a recorder. When you study, read your notes and listen to the recording. There's some science behind this one, but I don't know what it is.

Don't overstress, or you won't remember anything. Just relax and remember that your brain is one helluva tool.

Don't always try to do everything in one night. Take things one step at a time. I also found that when I study right before I go to sleep, I remember more in the morning.

Read the chapter before the lecture. You'll take better notes and remember information more easily.

Use weed as a reward.


Well, that just about sums up all I ever learned on campus. Sad, really.
