Tips cos im too lazy/cool to study

capslocked

Right two months to go still havent started studying. Would give it a try if i new what to expect on the papers. Any good tips for whats coming up from teachers? or what you think? Business and Economics especially.

By the way dont you just hate those f*$$^"s that have been studying five hours a night since september and still manage to freak out in front of you about how they arent doing enough - fu en ba tards. Also anyone that wants to study medicine - i hate those guys too - ask them if they have nursing down after medicine - they wont it would be some other high points course completly irrelevent to medicine.

Ha! Brilliant!

Well thinking of where you'll be this time next year should be an incentive. You'll either have got enough points to make it to college or whatever you wanna do or you'll be back to square one next year repeating.

I suppose it's a medal your looking for?
If you get one will you go away?

Ask your local McDonalds if they're hiring. They advertise great career opportunities.

Get your finger out and just do it, a good start would be goin to bed a bit earlier than 2 in the morning so you can actually concentrate, the best way imo is writing, youll never learn a thing just reading and its harder to mantain concentration for long that way. business HRM, Expansion, Social Responsibilities of a business... and the usual management skills/activities would be a good bet in studying

You've landed yourself in it a bit, son - but at least you've recognised that. Go and talk to your teachers, ask them to help with a serious study plan.

See if you can get grinds; your parents may help with this if you work out a plan to pay them back the money it'll cost.

You may have to repeat your Leaving - if you do, try to do it in a different school so you don't fall back into being the coolio non-studying person.

For the moment, do some serious cramming, concentrating on likely exam questions. (It's a pity you have to 'study' like this - study should be a pleasure - but you want a decent Leaving, so you haven't a lot of choice.)

What sort of study are you doin?

luckat

You talkin' to me?

Your Man

yep

My life is study. But not for points or exams, lucky me.

Rozabeez

Awww man I had some goooood study last night. Pity I'll never see the bitch again, gave her the wrong calculations. Etc etc.


Right, here goes me....off to study.

Im not sure if you have the best of attitudes towards the situation but ill offer my 2 cents.

Making a start into study is the hardest step. When you have it looming over you, you will do anything to do it. When i was in college my house mates preferred cleaning our house rather than studying!!

So set yourself a task, Whether it be do an exam question in a paper or reading a chapter or creating a set of notes on a topic.

You have a lot to cover so try figure out what you need to get done and arrange a study plan. reward yourself with regular short breaks. Lots of good food and plenty of sleep is important. Dont try sleep after studying. Do some sort of exercise to wind down.

Best of luck

Start now? You'll be able to do decent if you put in hard work from now

Why do you hate them?
Do you actually have a genuine reason, are you just jealous or do you just not like the fact that them doing a lot of study makes you seem lazy?
You could apply your stereotypical logic to anyone really. Ask anyone with something like Engineering in 1st place on their CAO what they have in second place and there's a high possibility it will be some other mid-points course, perhaps completely irrelevant to Engineering.
All you're proving is that most second level students aren't 100% sure about what they want to do.
I mean I don't like the idea that people choose courses just because they're in their range of points, but that's no reason to hate them, and in any case, your hate is just as valid against those doing Medicine simply becasue they think they can get high points as those who choose something like Engineering because they think they can get c.450 points.

Good advice, unnamed.

Also, go for a walk after learning something, and repeat it mentally as you walk (in a gentle kind of way, don't get obsessed, man!)

Useful sites:

And don't expect miracles. You'll do a lot better than you might have if you continued to laze, but don't go mad with yourself if you don't turn into Einstein overnight. Just do your best.

Youve loads of time to study left for feck sake. I agree, those people studying since September are a bit pathetic alright. Gotta live yer life still. Do the last couple of years exam papers in your subjects and youll breeze through. Its not that bad.

Yeah, cos to "live your life" you have to go out every night of the week....

Now I am kinda lazy, and I do procrastinate, so I don't study as much as some might, however, I do know that it is perfectly possible to put in 3 hours a day after school and 5 hours on a Saturday for the whole year and still go out every single weekend.

So saying studying affects your social life is a load of bs.

well i suppose i'm one of those people who has being studying a lot since september but couldn't agree with you more about those who choose medicine just because its high points. They study for 10 years then have a five year career and leave it cuase they hate it. One of many reasons why our health system is chronic.

I am going for civil engineering in Ucc, but its civil all the way down the cao right down to civil in carlow, just in case as a level 6. It makes no sense to choose a course for the sake of choosing a course. You should choose something you actually want to do.

the lc is a pile of **** - i know im not stupid - i just cant sit down and memorise a french conversation as well as someone else - some people get their points by memorising everything and not having a clue what it means - i just think my way of taking risks might works better for me - i dont hink i want to go to college anyway - how many people do you know with a degree and have **** jobs - its all about your social skills - thats why i cant stick those (that i know) who want to do medicine cos they wouldnt know how to socialise with people if it bit them in the ass - 6 years of school and all theyll get out of it are points - i shouldnt generalise im just going by the ones i know
