How to Pull an All-Nighter (The RIGHT Way!)

Step 1: Have a Plan & Come Prepared - Know what you need to study and how you are going to study for it.  Set a goal for yourself, a few good studying goals include:

Copying all important points from notes into a study guide / cram guide.

Re-reading one or several chapters of your textbook and taking notes as needed.

Creating a complete set of flash cards and going through the set a certain number of times.

If you have a project due, gather everything you need and don’t stop until it is done.

Make sure you have all of the study material and snackage that you need to keep you going all night long.

Drinks and snacks?  Check.

Textbooks?  Notes?  Check, Check.

Index Cards, Highlighters, Sharpies, and Pens?  Checkity Check!

Step 2: Take a Nap -  No, not in the middle of your all nighter.  But if it looks like you may have to pull an all-nighter, it will be beneficial if you can get 1-2 hours of sleep sometime during the day before.  You will want to make sure to wake up before 9 p.m., or risk your body trying to put you to sleep for the rest of the night!

When you get out of bed, it is sometimes helpful to pile other things on the bed to prevent you from laying down *just for a second* the rest of the night.  

Step 3: Set An Alarm -  Not everyone can make it through every all nighter, and inevitably you will fall asleep during at least one of your midnight study attempts.  There is no shame in this.   However, there is shame in accidently sleeping through your final exam, or your big presentation.  Set an alarm for about 30 minutes before you actually need to wake up.  This gives you a little extra time to get your sleepy head going in the morning if you DO fall asleep, and allows you to get to a stopping point before you start your day if you have managed to make it through the night and are still going.

Step 4: Hydration, Hydration, Hydration! -  If you stay properly hydrated it will be MUCH easier to stay awake.  Not to mention it will be much easier on your body the next day. Aim to drink two 8oz glasses of water (or one standard 16oz bottle) every hour or two.  It will keep you awake and alert, and help your body deal with lack of sleep stress.

Step 5: Snack Smart -  Make sure your snacks aren’t pure sugar or all junk- Here are some excellent snacks for all nightersPizza - It has carbs in the crust and protein in the cheese, great for giving you energy all night long.  Order a large when you’re starving and snack on it the rest of the night!Cheese & Crackers - Also has those carbs and protein.  If you want more food, add cut up lunchmeats! Apples, Peaches, Bananas, and Pears - Fresh fruit is packed full of complex carbs and natural sugars!  Dried fruit is tasty too.Sandwiches - Packed full of things to keep you awake and thinking, sandwiches are always a great choice for study sessions.  Take a good 10 minute break and make yourself a sandwich.

Step 6: Lighting is Key! -  Keep your study room brightly lit to avoid any dim-lighting drowsiness.  A good desk lamp or two can make a world of difference in your attention span! If you find your eyelids getting heavy, stare at a dim spot in your room and slowly move your eyes toward the lights.  This lighting motion will help simulate a sunrise and wake you up!

Step 7: Don’t Allow Distractions -  Turn OFF your phone (and no, that doesn’t mean vibrate or silent.) and unless about absolutely need it, turn off your Internet connection. Music is fine in the background - some people study better to it - as long as it doesn’t distract you.

Step 8: No Procrastination, Just Get Started! -  One of the hardest things is kicking off your all nighter.  Truth-be-told, you just have to jump in and begin.  You have your plan, your snacks, and you know what you must do.  In the words of Yoda.  Do, or do not.  There is no try.

So friends go ahead, study hell out of books, and just work hard..

Best of luck for finals….!!!

Love…. xoxo

how to learn new content and never forget it

save this for your next academic year and finals, and it’ll save your grades and time.

1. whenever you read a paragraph with new content, close the book/look away and ask yourself: “what have i just learned?” explaining the concept to yourself right away and asking follow-up questions will change the way you retain new material forever.

2. at first, it’ll be daunting, and it’ll be pretty hard to actually bring yourself to do this. trust me, it’ll be worth it - as this is scientifically proven one of the most effective study techniques.

3. to try this out, set yourself a timer for how long you estimate learning a concept might take. now take away 20% from that estimate. you won’t be able to reach this goal with basic highlighting and re-reading techniques - but with active recall, you will.

4. once you’ve understood the concept, use spaced repetition systems like anki flashcards to force yourself to retrieve this information in a set period of time. this way, your brain will always be reminded of this concept before it could possibly forget it.

5. teach it to others as much as you can. as with the old wisdom “see one, do one, teach one”, one of the only guarantees you’ve really gotten something is when you can effectively teach it.

hope these are helpful for you!!

Spoken Latin

Latin is traditionally learned through translation because it’s really only used as a literary language, but spoken Latin has become more popular recently and here are some resources for practicing listening comprehension

Catherine Reed and Justin Bailey’s youtube channels. There is a tag on youtube called the latin listening challenge and some people might have maybe one or two videos but they both have a good amount of videos

Gregory Stringer (magister optimus!) has 80 short videos where he basically just talks about what’s around him and they range in difficulty

Quodiversus Abis has a few videos and she speaks really well

Scott Meadows has almost 375 videos in latin where he goes through the different pieces of latin literature as well as the lingua latina series with his teacher and others. Most videos are about an hour long so definitely check out his channel

Hope this helps!
