Student life can get difficult. With everything else that's happening, sometimes it becomes hard to concentrate on your studies. Distractions also make it difficult to find a study routine and stick to it. Some people may say that you should study more to get better grades. Though that may be true, we think that you should study smarter. Here are a few tips to get you started.
1 First of all, you have to get organized.

Keep a schedule of your classes, try to keep your notebooks and notes color-coded, or keep your school bag clean and organized by using a bag organizer.
2 Manage your time well.

Don't try to cram everything the hour before the deadline. Schedule when you are going to write that paper or review for an exam, and stick to a study plan. Of course, allot for spare time to have some fun too!
3 Find a study routine that works for you.

No, that doesn't mean you can't ask for help. Ask for some tips and advice from your teachers, professors, or even your friends.
8 Take breaks and reward yourself!

Every half hour or every hour, take a break for a couple of minutes by having a snack or a quick power nap. And once you've finished all your work? Celebrate by watching the next episode of your fave series or by treating yourself to that delicious slice of blueberry cheesecake.
