The Cory and Topanga Effect

Hello, Hello!

Before reading this, be aware it is not a single girls anthem. I am very happily in a relationship since the age of 15. I also LOVE Boy Meets World. If you don't know what it is, drop everything that you are doing and go watch it right now!

Basically all you need to know

It is a fantastic show that for 7 seasons follows the life of Cory Matthews. The show came out in 1993, the year I was born, yet it holds up and is fantastic. What I want to mention about the show is the love of Cory and Topanga. They are the most meant to be together people in all of television history. Growing up I wanted my own Cory Matthews more than anything. I thought I had to fall in love at 12 and marry that person. I remember being terrified of dying alone at 12 years old. Thinking about it now seems silly but that was a real problem for me then.

I was thinking how, even now, that would be perfect. I have the longest relationship I know of for anyone my age and I STILL want the Cory and Topanga length added to my own relationship. It's silly. Life is silly sometimes. Sometimes we see things as ideal, when in reality they aren't, and we want it. Rewatching I see they weren't perfect. It's just so easy to get caught up in what isn't yours.

Just think about what you have and why it's important. No matter how big or small.

But it is okay to still love it ;)

Study Tips

Hello!!

I know, my title is extremely clever. I thought of it all by myself. wow. Such proud. Anyhow..

I am studying myself at the moment so I thought why not share how I study with the world? Now, why is how I study important. It is because I never had to until I was a sophomore in college. I mean, I did read through the material before class in middle and high school, but I never really studied. Teaching yourself to study in college is hard. I found that out the hard way. 

sorry its huge...

1. DON'T wait until it's too late.

That first bad grade sucked. I bet you're sure it's just bad luck or an off day. What if it isn't? Do you really want to risk another bad grade? This is the first sign to study more. A sign that can easily be missed.It's better to study even when you know the material than not study at all.

2. Record the class.

I don't mean video, but audio record. I know, "Why would I want to listen to 3 hours of lecture again?". Here's why, you will be surprised at the little things you missed. What I do is I listen to the lecture then take notes on the notes I already have taken. I just add things I miss and underline what I didn't remember from the original lecture. It really helped me to better recall information. 

3. Take study breaks!

Personally, studying makes me VERY sleepy. I can dose off while reading and doing other important things.  When this happens, I take a quick 15 minute nap or get some coffee or caffeine. Its better to take a break when I know I'm not retaining information anymore. my mind relaxes and when I dive back into studying I actually start remembering and recalling the information I need.

4. Study Buddies aren't required.

I am the worst study buddy. I will talk and change the subject and soon we will be googling who did what voice in a random Disney movie. I am aware of this and I tell people when they ask I prefer to study alone. I'm honest that I will probably not be helpful. That's okay. Being honest prevents me and the other person from wasting our time not studying.

I hope these tips were helpful! If you would like anymore please let me know!
