Jasmine, a graduating high school senior, is heading to UCLA in the fall to kick off her college career. Despite being an incoming freshman, Jasmine already has studying down to a science, which is clear if you check out her Instagram and YouTube, both called studyquill. On Instagram, her images, which are neat and aesthetically pleasing, highlight her skillful and organized bullet journaling and note-taking techniques. Underneath those images are bright, engaging and informative captions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nJasmine alleviates some of the stress and anxiety attached to studying by altering the way she views assignments. If she has 100 math problems to do, for example, she thinks of it in terms of the time it will take her, rather than the total number of problems she has to complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTelling myself I only have to work on this assignment for the next hour, it feels a lot less stressful,\u201d says Jasmine. \u201cA math problem set usually takes me an hour to complete. So it feels more manageable when I put it in terms of the hours required for the work rather than the literal, I have 100 questions to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing Jasmine likes to do is play relaxing music in the background while she\u2019s studying. She typically sticks to low-fi hip hop. Classical music, she says, is a little too intense for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the looks of her Instagram posts, Kuro, an aspiring medical researcher and current college student in the United States, could seemingly teach a course in calligraphy. Making her notes pretty, she says, is her way to make studying a bit more entertaining. If you look next to those notes, you\u2019ll likely see the pens she wrote them with. Through her captions, which are typically only one or two sentences long, she often gives you a brief glimpse into her personality and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nKuro is an expert studier, but even she admits to struggling with study stress on a daily basis. Her best piece of advice, she says, is to do anything you can to make studying seem like less of a chore. Kuro, personally, does that by spending time to make her notes bright and enjoyable to look at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also notes that it is important to take a positive, not competitive, approach to school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe less you view being a student as a competition and the more you see it as a way to learn and grow, the less stressed you will be. It\u2019s truly about being the best you, not being the best in your class,\u201d Kuro says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jade, a self-described UK gal attending college in San Francisco, takes a refreshing, positive approach to life, which is evident through the photos, typically selfies, she posts to Instagram. Her captions, which are often paragraphs-long, exhibit her true personality. She\u2019ll regularly offer a glimpse into her own life and thoughts, along with some reassuring advice and the occasional engaging question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/unjadedjade.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLike most college students, Jade admits to still getting stressed out or anxious about her studies from time to time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen studying is attached to grades, and those grades determine opportunities in life, it\u2019s natural to feel stressed,\u201d says Jade. \u201cIt just means we care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But she\u2019s developed effective ways to manage those feelings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSome things that have helped me are meditation, yoga and mindfulness,\u201d says Jade. \u201cIf I\u2019m studying and begin to feel that gut-feeling anxiety, I\u2019ll take a break and put on a guided meditation, focusing on my breathing. This clears my head, reminds me what is important in life and allows me to focus better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan, a pre-med student at the University of Texas at Austin, takes a positive, uplifting approach to studying. Next to the laptop and notebooks that she often features on her Instagram images sits the occasional drink, snack or even stuffed animal. Her captions, which are often long enough to be considered blog posts, are engaging, encouraging and informative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Megan-notes.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFrom Megan\u2019s perspective, the biggest way to minimize the stress and anxiety attached to studying is to start early! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon’t cram the night before, because if you run into something that you don’t understand, then you will not be able to get the help that you need,\u201d says Megan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when you start early, she says, take some type of diagnostic test or try to answer a few questions that may be on the test. That way, you\u2019ll get an idea of what you need to improve on for your exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From there, she says, you can write down the questions that you have about the concept or topic and ask your professor, TA or teacher to clarify for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis method has helped me a lot, especially during COVID-19,\u201d says Megan. \u201cI usually forget the questions I have, so I have to type it up or write it down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, Megan says it’s important to figure out what type of learner you are, so you can improve your efficiency and make studying a less demanding process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can be a kinesthetic, auditory, or visual learner, and there are lots of different study methods for each learning style,\u201d says Megan. \u201cFor example, I am a visual learner so watching videos or drawing\/looking at diagrams helps me the most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
