How To Get Good Grades While Having Fun

By Tom Tessin

College has been the awaited moment of most students graduating from high school. Many consider it as the best time of their lives. You will have freedom to do what you never tried doing when you were still living at home. However, many students as well sometimes get caught up between their excitement of freedom and their responsibilities in school. There are some things that you just need to do to get good grades while not depriving yourself of any fun.

1. There are subjects that do not really require you to attend class. So if you can learn the lessons on your own, you do not have to bother attending the class. However, if the classes require you to be present, then try as much as you can not to absent yourself. If you start skipping class, your chances of getting good grades will be lessened.

2. Studying your lessons during your breaks at school will allow you to have more fun time when you get home. Being productive during your school time is the ideal, at least you will have time to relax or watch a movie after school.

3. The trick to getting a good grade in an exam is to attend the classes before it. Most of the time the professor reviews the topics that are included in the exam. This will give you the chance to determine on which topics to concentrate on.

4. You are always encouraged to work with the other students in your class. You may share ways on learning your lessons, and also tutor each other while you make new friends.

5. The best way to learn lessons is to figure out what kind of learner you are. If you an auditory learner then you should focus on what the professor is saying. If you are a visual learner then you should write notes to remember what you have written. If you are a kinetic learner then you are expected to do well in laboratory works. Determining what type of learner you are will help you learn fast, study better, and eventually get good grades.

6. If you decide to take down notes, write in your own words and keep it organized. This will help you remember the lessons accurately. Include in your notes certain words, definitions, and other stuff that the professor is saying repetitively as they may be part of the next exam.

7. Choose the time of the days where you feel you are most alert and awake to study lessons. This will help you go through with everything you need to cover.

8. After a busy week at school, it is always great to relax and unwind during the weekends. Invite some friends to watch movie, go to the park, have coffee, or just hang out in your dorm room. Without talking about school stuff.

You’re going to find that good grades aren’t that hard to come by. It’s going to take hard work, patience and in the end, you will find that it is well worth it!
