A Useful Post: Links To Sites About Good Study Habits

Time for a remotely useful post not at all related to my whininess or depression! Yay! KA-WOOT!!!

Okay. I lied.

A little.

In my research to change one of my biggest self-percieved flaws, I've done a good bit of research on solving one of them over the last few days: the development of good study habits. There's a lot of it out there. A good bit of it is crap, I won't lie. A lot of it is trying to sell you stuff. And let's be realistic about things for a second. If you're like me, a student who really needs this material, you probably can't afford to spend the $19.95, $29.95, and even $39.95 that a lot of people want for these materials.

That's why I'm presenting you this free material for the low, low price of $99.95!!!

HA! Just Kidding! You should have seen the look on your face!

Seriously, here are a few big ones you might be interested in.

First up are basic studying tips from Collegeboard.com . It'll take you a second to read through and they really make sense. The book they also sell is worth it (I have a friend who attests to this and he's an A+ STUDENT), but once again, that's if you have the money to spend on it.

Next is a short page from EHow.com . The site is short and repeats some of the information posted on the previous site. Its also geared more towards parents trying to encourage their teenagers to develop and maintain good study habits. Still, it is something good to look at and reinforce those core ideas about good studying.

Last is a site from Virginia Tech Division of Student Affairs . This is an extensive and well organized site, with detailed sections on time management, note-taking, and creating a study environment. This site is one that you definitely have to check out. If you take my word on nothing else, at least take my word on this.

I hope this has been some help to you. Let me know if it has been. See you all tommorrow.
