after stumbling through two semesters,
getting lost, falling into deep shit,
getting good grades, crying for bad grades,
doing pset, and anti-group-studying,
here I come up with a MIT ひっしょうほう！
（まあ、人によって違うけどね。）
[disclaimer: i just believe that if i follow the ways below next sem, I will have significant improvement.I failed to do the things below so I guess thats why I am not maximizing my potential at all]
1) Befriend your TA.
they know the answers. they are the one who grade you. they are paid to teach you.
2) Don’t EVER miss recitation sessions.
even lectures are useless, recitations are not.
3) take neat notes.
u’ll lose the passion to study when u’re busy searching for relevant inelligble notes.
4) Don’t feel clueless.
i.e. dont-leave-all-your-stuffs-to-the-day-before-exam-and-study-everything-by-brute-force. it may work but there are better alternatives to get even better grades. …that’s what i do for all exams this term.
5) Some study time every night even there is no homework or tests.
because you will feel so much better and prepared ..instead of ending up begging people to teach you or giving you so-called hints.
6) Don’t miss anything because you won’t want to beg for notes from others.
7) PSETs are much more difficult than exams. i.e. do PSET smartly
8) Don’t have to prepare before class. but must review after class. your professor is not that good.
9) WHAT YOU WORK IS WHAT YOU GET FOR GPA. U ALREADY X-ed your freshman GPA. so please ganbatte.
(man, but i still have U-ROP to do…and then acapella spring concert is coming up…ahh…and then i still hv to wake up at 8 for my part-time job…ahhh but ….)
10) there are still 1 exam 3 and 3 final exams, so please do 1-9 SERIOUSLY next week to try them out.
