HOW TO SURVIVE HOMEWORK FOR BEGINNERS

Homework is an absolutely horrible, hellish part of studying,

though if you’re smart enough (and if you need it) you should always finish it. And I’m here to help with that, because I’m SUCH a great advice giver. Here’s my advice:

  • If you’re getting homework for classes you’re bad at, NEVER SKIP IT.

    You’re 100 times more likely to get a better grade by doing it,

    not only because you’re actually doing something, but also because teachers are grateful for your cooperation and you’ll earn their respect (unless they’re a horrible teacher).

  • If your homework is boring, try making it more colourful or write in different fonts to add a more interesting touch.

  • Don’t listen to music while working because it unfocuses your brain, making you forget all your homework.

  • It’s a good idea to finish homework as soon as possible, to get more free time and reduce stress. And not forget it.

  • - DON’T FORGET YOUR HOMEWORK (speaking from experience)

  • If you don’t understand an exercise, ask your teacher

    (unless they’re a weird type of guy that gives minuses if you don’t have it finished a 100%).

  • → In this case, ask a classmate or sacrifice your grades.

  • Try to finish your work before the weekend, because working at the weekend will feel 100× worse and you’ll grow a hatred towards schoolwork.

  • If you somehow didn’t finish homework 'till the weekend, you should still do it, because it’s good to do it early to not forget it (you don’t deserve colourful notes 😔).

  • Refrain from using websites, because that’s for lazy weird hacker people.

  • P.S. If you missed homework because of other activities, stop lying and get back to work, no one believes your stories, OR at least make a better excuse.
