What if I told you you could get straight A's and actually enjoy school?

No, no, no, I know.

It sounds too good to be true, right?

But I'm talking about studying smarter, not harder, all while making your semester feel totally magical.

In today's video, I'm showing you how to live your best, most Pinterest-worthy semester, all while getting good grades and being the perfect student.

Hello, students class is officially in session

and today i will be giving you all my best tips

on how to romanticize school be the perfect student get straight a's study like a pro

while also just making school fun coming from a girl who

got straight a's all throughout school took my gpa very seriously

and still had a great time i have my fuzzy pen laptop with all my notes about this video

and my blue light glasses which i will actually be taking off because they create a glare on the camera, but I always took school very seriously.

And I feel like there's the type of people where school comes very naturally to them.

But like, I don't feel like school came super naturally to me.

I was really good at being a good student, but I wasn't like the smartest person in the world.

But because I was such a good student, I even did better in school than some people I knew that were really smart, but didn't take school seriously.

All to say that I feel like I have a lot of wisdom to give back to you.

By the way, share this video with a friend who you think could use it.

And Remember, you can always come back to this video if you need a little mid-semester pick-me-up.

Let's get started with learning how to plan like a pro because this is going to be the most game-changing, life-altering thing you can learn how to do.

First up, daily and weekly planning.

I actually had both a physical planner and I used Notion for planning when I was in school.

I honestly think you can go either route with it.

However, you do need some sort of planner.

The first thing that I did before the start of every semester, every school year, was write my schedule into my planner.

I'd pick a color for each class

and then write in the time in the class to my planner for the whole semester

and highlight them accordingly Then I would go through the syllabus

for each class You might get the syllabus before the class even starts

or afterwards But either way go in

and look at those big projects the big exam days the presentations homework due dates

and write everything down The worst thing that could possibly have happened to me

when I was in school was miss a deadline or miss a due date Like I was just terrified of that happening, but it never happened to me I always was on track of all of my assignments this way

and I would keep up with the planner Like there's the other thing you need to go in

and update it So once you do that initial setup before the semester, you have your planner great Now once you go to the first day of class

or you're actually in classes and assignments start to pop up Keep using the planner and not only writing and homework, but also studying So if I look and saw that next wednesday, I have a french test Okay,

i'm gonna want to study for 30 minutes each night this week

And i'm gonna write in study for french study for french study for french

because I don't want to miss that I felt like the other thing

that I really did to help myself was looking ahead at the week ahead Not just what's going on this week, but like what's happening next week and how can I be prepared for that?

Next up, I feel like especially for college students the majority of the work is online

and the browser that you use matters Staying organized

and keeping my workflow smooth was always a challenge while working on

so many different tabs notes projects all at once My top tip for keeping everything streamlined

and simplifying your workflow drastically is using the opera browser Opera is the sponsor of today's video

and i'm not kidding

when I say their features are life-changing Opera allows you to keep all of your work streamlined

and distraction free The tab islands for example are a lifesaver for keeping my workspace organized

and neat When you open tabs from the page you're on opera automatically creates tab islands

That means I can have all my shopping tabs together, all of my work tabs together, and all of my YouTube tabs in one place as well.

And with the split screen feature, I don't have to lose my train of thought by flipping between a bunch of different tabs.

Instead, I can, for example, have an article on one side and my project on the other side.

So I can take notes or write an essay while I do my research.

I also love the video pop-out feature, which lets me detach a video entirely from the browser and float it anywhere on my screen.

This is perfect for watching a tutorial or a study with me

or work with me video while you're working in another app

And you know how important aesthetics are to me So I love

that opera lets you customize the theme of your browser There are different themes

and my favorite theme is the midsummer one It's so pretty

and with these different themes you can choose the colors you can choose animated backgrounds Even browser

and keyboard sounds It's just such a fun way to customize your workspace

and personalize it to match your vibe Overall opera just makes streamlining your workflow

and staying focused so much easier So if you want to try it out

and see how it can help you stay focused You can click the link in my description

and thank you again to opera for sponsoring this video The second part of planning that's

so important is color coding Our minds are constantly looking for ways to make sense of systems

and processes that are happening in our life And color coding makes it

so much easier for your brain to do that

So I always assigned a color to each class

and I would find it really helpful buying a notebook in

that color for that class or like the folder in

that color for

that class even the highlighters i would use would be in

the certain color for the certain class for example i had a marine geology class

and i felt like that was an ocean blue color So everything for the class was blue.

My highlighters and pens for that class were all different shades of blue, kept notes in a blue notebook.

Everything that had to do with blue was with that class

and I feel like it made things feel a lot less cluttered for me.

I also just think in general making the planning process beautiful, like having fun with it, getting some cute little gel pens, highlighters, sticky notes, and stickers makes this so much more fun.

If your planner is beautiful to look at, you're going to want to use it and especially

if you actually take time in setting it up

or setting up a really pretty notion

or x tiles page it's like you almost develop like a bond with it in a way

and you want to go back to it more

and third use a digital

and analog system i love combining digital tools like opera notion x tiles with a physical planner

and physical notebooks i actually took all of my notes on physical notebooks in school

and it was not the common thing to do at the time.

Let me just tell you, writing something down is different than typing it.

When I would write things down, I was able to just intuitively draw my own little diagrams, my own pictures.

Every lecture, I would be diligently listening, picking out the most important things and writing them down.

However, I still loved using my digital tools to accompany the physical planners.

That way, I have the flexibility of the tech and the tactile satisfaction of being able to write things down.

Next up creating your ideal study environment create a dedicated study

space for yourself Whether that's just a small desk in a corner of your room

or even a nice spot at the kitchen table

If you want I just think it's

so important to find a dedicated spot for studying

that way whenever you get in that spot Like you sit down at

100

that desk you're locked in you have an association with

101

that spot and you doing your homework and being productive

102

And making your desk pinterest worthy super cute

103

and full of things you love also will make you want

104

to work I love lighting candles maybe putting on my diffuser

105

with some essential oils I actually had this study essential oil that I used all throughout school.

106

It was like a minty smell It smelled kind of like wintergreen It's

107

so refreshing but it also really helped me create that association

108

because smells are such a big thing I would also use the essential oil

109

when I was studying and then like on the day of the exam Have

110

that same essential oil and put a little bit on my wrist

111

So I could lock back in and like trigger those memories

112

that I had

113

when I was studying Another thing I do before getting started

114

on my work take the time to just straighten up my

115

space my room my apartment My desk before getting started on work

116

that way there weren't like cleaning tasks looming over me

117

when I was trying to do my work I knew they were out of the way My space was clear

118

and the only thing that I needed to do at

119

that time was to do my studying and the time management and productivity Hacks, so we already talked a little bit about the planners, but to go a little bit deeper into the planning I

120

would have my general schedule with my big like line item tasks on my paper planner

121

but I wouldn't write in all of the nitty-gritty.

122

The nitty-gritty was for Notion.

123

I would go through my day at the start of the day and really make a detailed to-do list.

124

I would time block everything from my meals to my classes to my studying

125

and homework time to errands I needed to run or cleaning around the apartment or self-care.

126

And yes, self-care counts as a time block

127

but I think one of the best things I did for

128

myself to not get burnt out was I had a hard cutoff for stopping working.

129

This was a general rule I occasionally had to break, but I had a hard cutoff of 9 p.m.

130

From 9 to 10, I would just do whatever I wanted.

131

I'd watch an episode of my favorite show.

132

I would take a self-care shower.

133

I would literally dry brush, do a face mask.

134

I would put essential oil in the shower, listen to frequency music, all of that for that one hour.

135

It was so restorative.

136

And I can't describe how helpful it was for me to have mini study breaks.

137

I'm talking literally five to ten minute breaks throughout my day.

138

I would do like one assignment however long that would take and after

139

that assignment before I started on something else I would go like make myself a cup of tea

140

or go switch a load of laundry or read a book for a few minutes.

141

I would just break it up and give myself a little bit of variety

142

so that I didn't feel like I've been staring at my computer for so many hours.

143

Now let's talk about my note-taking and memory tricks.

144

For note-taking I did use physical notebooks.

145

I know that not everyone always did like a lot of people would take notes on their laptop, but I still feel like writing things on paper is so cathartic,

146

but not only cathartic, it's more effective.

147

I just don't think anything compares to the freedom you can have in your note-taking with writing things on paper.

148

Typing just didn't give the same effect in terms of ingraining these concepts into my memory.

149

So my note-taking strategy was I would get out one color pen, one color highlighter, and a pencil, and I would take all of my notes in pencil.

150

I would write down whenever things stood out to me, when the teacher would stress something or when something stuck out to me.

151

Like I would just use my discernment to decide what to write down.

152

I would use my pen as like a little emphasis point

153

so I could make a star next to something

154

if the professor said it was going to be a test question

155

or I could add little line breaks or just little doodles that kind of helped demonstrate the idea I was writing down.

156

And I would also use the highlighter to do the same thing, but I typically picked the same color highlighter

157

and the same color pen for each class to help my brain associate them with that class.

158

Now my biggest tip for studying of all time was doing self-tests and making concept maps of like the entire unit.

159

Before a test or a quiz or to just check my understanding mid-semester, I would go through and connect all the dots between all the different concepts I learned.

160

I started to realize that sometimes we would be zoomed in on a certain issue

161

and I wouldn't even really understand what it looked like in the bigger picture.

162

Like we'd be talking about hydrothermal vents, but I wouldn't recognize what we were even looking at or like what I'm talking about.

163

All I know is that this goes with this and like this is this, but I don't even know how this correlates in the bigger picture of things or how it works in the real world.

164

I I only know this information we're being given in the way that I've been learning these things.

165

So sometimes when I get to the test, I would realize I don't even know what I'm like talking about.

166

Like what even is this?

167

So I would go through my whole notes from the semester and I would like connect all the dots.

168

I would create an entire few pages in my notebook bridging the gaps between everything

169

and like reciting all these concepts that I learned.

170

So I wasn't just memorizing them.

171

I was understanding them.

172

Let me just say that again, understanding things is worlds away and so, so very different than memorizing them.

173

Any test where I just shoved as many flashcards into my memory as I possibly could was never the same.

174

And I never comprehended the information the same as when I actually understood it.

175

So when I would take the time before a test to go through everything, make it make sense to me.

176

Like if someone worded this question or this concept in a different way, I would understand it rather than just having memorized the wording

177

and like only knowing it in

178

that context This was the most game-changing thing for me

179

So I recommend that like above everything else and in addition to doing

180

that for tests I would do self tests on myself not

181

just flashcards either I would actually write all the questions down

182

that I made for myself to study from

183

and I would have to like say The answers out loud

184

or literally write them down on blank notebook paper Just as

185

I would kind of have to do during a test I found that

186

when I would just keep going through like flashcards I would

187

really just get used to the way things were worded

188

or I would potentially subconsciously memorize the flash card rather than Understanding the material

189

and I just want to really reiterate the distinction

190

that there is between memorizing and understanding Every time I memorized something for a test, I would forget it right after whereas understanding things

191

that really stuck with me When I understood it

192

and it made sense to me and I broke it down into a way

193

that made sense to me I actually remembered it

194

and was able to do it on the test The other thing I will say about studying is it is so

195

so much better to study for a few days Like maybe

196

a whole week covering different topics before a test rather than

197

just studying for like seven hours on one day before the test You will jam

198

so much information into your brain

199

that it just won't be able to retain it all Now let's talk about the mindset

200

and romanticizing school The fun part believing in yourself not only helps with your confidence

201

and kind of manifesting a positive outcome for yourself on a subconscious level

202

but it also makes it so that if you did get a bad grade

203

or if you didn't do as well on a test as you were hoping to do, it wouldn't be the end of the world because you would have a strong confidence and sense of self underneath.

204

So let me also reiterate that grades are not everything at all.

205

In fact, school is such a, just a small like minuscule little blip part of your life.

206

If you do get a worse grade than you were hoping for, it's really not the end of the world.

207

Don't be too hard on yourself about it and realize that trying your best is enough.

208

Keep that strong sense of self, Keep your confidence and don't let a bad grade knock you down.

209

Even things like wearing a fun cute outfit can make such

210

a big difference I know it's not important to dress up for class

211

and a lot of people would just wear sweatpants

212

But I pretty much always went to class looking put together

213

I would take the time to do my makeup in the morning

214

and maybe do something cute with my hair Wear a cute outfit

215

that I loved because if nothing else It's a time for me to express myself

216

and just literally romanticize the process even more Like I wanted to feel like Elle Woods and Rory Gilmore.

217

And even though it's fine to go to school in sweats, and I did do that sometimes, I just had a lot of fun being put together for it.

218

And I feel like when you get ready and you put on an outfit that you love, you're more excited to go to school anyway.

219

It literally made the process more fun for me.

220

Another huge way that I romanticized school was by having a playlist, literally called Romanticizing School.

221

I will link that in the description if you wanna check it out.

222

I would put that on and just lock in every day.

223

It was so fun and cute

224

and combining the playlist with like lighting a candle on my cute little workspace

225

and my cute desk and my diffuser going and like a cute comfy outfit.

226

Like all of that together was just perfect.

227

I literally felt like I was in a movie, which leads me to my next point of consuming content that makes you want to stay on track.

228

Watch things like Gossip Girl, Gilmore Girls, Legally Blonde, shows where they kind of center school.

229

It's like a fun way to practice self-care by just indulging in a show you love, but also getting a little bit of input that kind of ignites a fire in you to want to stay on track.

230

Like I watch Legally Blonde and I'm like, yeah, I want to go to Harvard.

231

Create a vision board and have it somewhere you can see every single day.

232

If you didn't create a vision board at the start of the year, it's not too late to make one now.

233

You can make one in X tiles super, super easily.

234

Go onto Pinterest and find a bunch of pictures that correspond to the vibe, the feeling, and the outcome that you want to have for your semester.

235

And you can even set it as your background for your laptop

236

or your phone so that every day you see it and you're reminded of what you're doing, what you're working towards and why you're doing this.

237

I feel like whenever I thought about my higher purpose

238

and why I was here and just reminded myself that the education I was getting was such a gift, it made me feel a lot more grateful for it rather than feeling like, oh, I hate school.

239

I don't wanna go, this sucks, this is so hard.

240

I loved reframing it as something that I get to do, something that I'm excited about.

241

And although it's hard, it's also fun and it's bringing me so much new information, so much new knowledge that I get to have.

242

And celebrate small wins.

243

Like every test that you do well on, a project that you complete, a presentation that you do, celebrate it.

244

You can give yourself a little reward of any sort.

245

Like maybe you say, you know what, I'm going to go get my nails done after I do this really hard test, or I'm going to go get an ice cream after my long night of studying,

246

it kind of builds momentum and confidence and it gives you something to look forward to.

247

It's like positive reinforcement.

248

Lastly, let's talk about study life balance and self-care while you're in school.

249

One thing I heard that really, really helped me and is something

250

that I constantly go back to is would it help me more to push or hold right now?

251

Let's say you have a big assignment due.

252

You are so stressed about it.

253

It's really hard.

254

It's a lot of work.

255

You kind of had to stay up late to finish it.

256

You're wondering if you should just go to sleep now, forget about the assignment and say, you know what, I did my best or push and get it done.

257

This is an instance where I would honestly push.

258

That's a time where I think pushing would be more valuable to me than pulling back and not getting the greatest grade.

259

But an example where I would pull back is yesterday.

260

I had a huge ambitious plan of what I wanted to do all day.

261

I was going to do a bunch of filming.

262

I had a lot of things on my to-do list, but the day kind of got derailed.

263

Lots of other things came up and I started getting so, so stressed.

264

I thought there's no way I can do all this now.

265

Like, do I push and go take a shower

266

and like try to do my hair and try to do all this filming

267

and like do all these things I was going to do or just pull back and say, we can do it tomorrow instead.

268

And in that instance, I decided to pull back.

269

I decided pulling back was going to be better for my mental health and my sanity in the long run.

270

And I accepted the fact that things weren't going to look the way that I thought they were going to look.

271

But if you can kind of do that for yourself, like in a certain situation where you may be feeling really stressed is pushing

272

or pulling gonna help me right now more sometimes it's pushing

273

and then honestly when i realized that pushing might be the thing

274

that would help me in that instance it almost makes me feel better

275

because it's kind of like okay once i push

276

and i get this done then we can relax as i mentioned earlier i also just want to reiterate

277

that good grades are nice to have

278

but burning yourself out for it is literally not worth it

279

so always keep your mental health at the forefront

280

and schedule social time and self-care like their assignments too like i can't reiterate this enough.

281

You need to have social time and fun time and alone time where you're not doing school.

282

For me, that was really helpful in having the nine o'clock cutoff time

283

so I could have until like 10 or 11 just doing fun things that I wanted to do.

284

And I had social time on the weekends.

285

I would sometimes go home from school.

286

I'd have my boyfriend come up to school and visit me and we'd do fun things.

287

And I wouldn't really have to worry about homework because I did it all during the week.

288

Also remember that downtime fuels productivity.

289

You can't be productive all the time and you shouldn't even want that.

290

Sometimes I get stressed at the thought

291

that I can't do it all all the time but rest is just as productive as doing work is.

292

You need both of them to literally stay sane so prioritize that as well.

293

It's hard to think of everything I want to say for this

294

because I just have endless tips but I will lastly add actually go to class.

295

I found that even in classes where attendance was optional going to class was always always a better decision.

296

Not only do you learn better.

297

Like if I would stay home from class and just watch it on my computer because I'm like, oh, I'm going to pay attention.

298

No, I wouldn't.

299

I wouldn't take notes as much.

300

I would literally just be on my phone.

301

I would like fall asleep.

302

Whereas if I'm actually in class, no, I'm going to take notes.

303

I'm like, okay, you know what?

304

I came here.

305

I'm literally paying to be here.

306

Yeah, I'm going to go to class.

307

Second, you actually make a bigger impact on the people there and the professor.

308

You make connections, you make friends with other students.

309

And those friends are also like alliances and resources for you when you don't know what to do on the homework.

310

Like you have someone to ask and you make an impression on the professor.

311

Being an active participant in class will get you far every time.

312

The professors would often ask questions to the class

313

and a lot of people would just stay silent

314

but I would speak up if I knew the answer

315

and I actually had professors at the end of the semester

316

that I didn't even think really noticed me personally like thank me for my involvement in the class

317

and say that they really appreciated my participation and

318

that they would love to write me a letter of recommendation

319

if I ever needed one for an internship or anything else

320

And I just I couldn't believe that what I thought wasn't

321

that impactful to the professor actually was they notice people who

322

pay attention who are involved who seem like they want to be there and are taking class seriously.

323

And lastly don't leave class not knowing what's going on.

324

There were times where I was just so absolutely confused in class

325

and I didn't want to stay after and ask the professor.

326

And I absolutely screwed myself over because I had no idea what to do on the homework.

327

I was so incredibly lost.

328

So don't leave class not knowing.

329

Go right up to the professor after class and say, can you explain this to me or go to office hours?

330

I could go on and on, but I think that's where we will wrap things up.

331

Comment below what grade you're going into and what your absolute best tip is to everyone else.

332

What helps you succeed in school?

333

What's your best study tip?

334

What's your best little hack?

335

Like let's create a positive environment for everyone to thrive.

336

Comment this emoji if you watched all the way up until the end of the video.

337

Have an amazing semester and I will see you in my next video.

338

Bye guys.

339

Grammatica in deze video

De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

Structuur	In de video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — iets dat eerder begon en nog bezig is	I've been staring · I've been learning
Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet	would be zoomed · being given · were worded

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 84 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, you're, don't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

De “th”-klanken: cathartic /kəˈθɑɹtɪk/, aesthetics /ɛsˈθɛt.ɪks/, thrive /θɹajv/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/
De klanken “sh” en “zh”: notion /ˈnoʊʃən/, flashcard /ˈflæʃˌkɑɹd/, internship /ˈɪntɜːnʃɪp/, refresh /ɹɪˈfɹɛʃ/, distraction /dɪsˈtɹæk.ʃən/
Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: reiterate /ɹiːˈɪt.ə.ɹeɪt/, romanticize /roʊˈmæntɪsaɪz/, productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, geology /d͡ʒɪˈɒl.ə.d͡ʒɪ/, participant /pɑːɹˈtɪsəpənt/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: tab /tæb/, memorize /ˈmɛm.əˌɹaɪ̯z/, romanticize /roʊˈmæntɪsaɪz/, flashcard /ˈflæʃˌkɑɹd/, customize /ˈkʌs.tə.maɪ̯z/
/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: planner /ˈplænɚ/, tab /tæb/, romanticize /roʊˈmæntɪsaɪz/, flashcard /ˈflæʃˌkɑɹd/, lastly /ˈlæstli/
/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: gritty /ˈɡɹɪti/, goodness /ˈɡʊdnəs/, analog /ˈænəlɔɡ/

Zo oefen je met deze video

Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als planner, semester, notebook.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
