I need tips on how to study!!!!???

I never used to study when I was younger I realized after the first semester of my freshmen year in college that I cant get by anymore. So now even when I try to study I can only study for like 15 til I go nuts. Even with this I have managed to get by with a few A's and C's but mostly B's. I want to get mostly A's. My parents tell me that Im smart but I am wasteing my god given talent by not studying.





I try to study but it seems I get distracted by everylittle thing. At first I blamed living in the dorms casue I was always screwing around with my friends. SO I tried to go to the library but I would talk to anyone I remotely knew or just start walking around after about a half hour of studying. So I moved off campus and locked myself in my room but then I would start watching tv so I took the tv out of my room. Then I would play video games so I got rid of those. I stoped listening to music. But I then start to day dream and now Im wasteing time on Yahoo awsnsers. Help!!!!

I hear you. I worked 30-60 hrs a week through three years of high school. Working at night doing homework in the first two or three classes then sleeping through the classes that would let me. I managed to get a scholarship for college. That was really the first time in my life that I ever found myself needing to study. Find friends in your classes that you can discuss the subject with. Invite people over for a study group. Involving other people I think will be your best bet. It keeps you focused on the task at hand.
Reply:listen boy,someone has to beat you!!!You are like my brother!You are probably smart but lazy person!!Just a few people in this planet enjoy reading,learning, etc. and a lot of people finished university!Can you imagine why?Not because they are so smart but they are stubborn!Press yourself,it's for your better future!You can probably find better job with than without studies!Think about money,maybe it will help you!It helps to me,I graduated half year before of end of my studies,I was the youngest professor in my region,and now am enjoying my life...and I didn't like reading... good luck
Reply:There are no magic bullets for studying. YOU must make up your mind that studying is an important endeavor! As adults, we must ALL do things we don't like (come, on, be real... you don't really want to study... it's OK, be honest!) Now that you've admit it, let's get to work. You have the control!





Get out your calendar and do some planning. How many hours do you need to study. How many hours are you WILLING to study. Do you really need A's?





Book your study time and stick to it. Then book some time to goof off. Don't try to study for HOURS at a time, even if you've planned it that way. Take some frequent breaks. Have a bite to eat, but you know what you need to stay away from (video games, oooh, Yahoo! Answers).





Right now it seems like you don't have the desire to do what you know needs to be done. Maybe you shouldn't be in college right now. Maybe you should backpack across Europe, or work for a while (just remember, someone has to say "Do you want fries with that?" Do you want it to be you?)





Good luck.
Reply:Go to the doctor say you ADD and get some Ritalin you will study for . like 2 days straight. Or a realistic approach I like candy sometimes and since I don't have it very often this works. I get a big bag of kisses and I will have one every time I learn a page It got me through high school. What ever works for you thought .
