for Academic Success

Table of Contents

Spencer Hastings was born into a family of overachievers who are goal-driven, so it’s no surprise that she was destined to be an academic weapon and driven to win on an existential level. This guide is a deep dive into her study habits and mindset that made her a straight-A student, while making it super easy for you to integrate into your own study routine. So let’s go! <3

Rule No. 1: Do your research and take notes. Always think one step ahead.

“Why enjoy today when you can worry about tomorrow.”

Spencer takes notes during class and re-reads them in the afternoon or evening. Incorporating them into her study material. She also does her research on the Internet, in books or other useful media. She gathers all the information she can and takes away the most valuable information that will help her prepare for an exam or write an essay.

Rule No. 2:Drink coffee and water to power through.

“More coffee?”

Stay well hydrated during your studies. Drink plenty of water. And a hot cup of coffee (but not too much). Coffee helps you concentrate, improves your cognitive functions and increases productivity. If you like, you can also drink a fresh smoothie to energize yourself. If you have a snack, eat fruit, vegetables with hummus or nuts.

Rule No. 3: Strive for perfection..

“Perfection isn’t optional.”

Spencer aims for perfection and aspires to be the best. Set yourself achievable goals and work towards them. Break them down into smaller steps. Just do your best and remember that you should be the only person you have to prove anything to.

Rule No. 4: Replace Instagram and TikTok with books and podcasts.

“I’ve been in the library so much I am on a first‑name basis with the homeless guy that sleeps next to the microfiche.”

Although social media has become an essential part of our everyday lives, it also consumes a lot of time. Scrolling on TikTok and swiping through Instagram are known to make time pass by quickly. Break this cycle, put your phone away, set a time limit and read or listen to podcasts instead. Spencer is productive and doesn’t let anything distract her from her study goals.

Rule No. 5: Your study sessi0ns are a ritual.

“I am not a quitter. I never have been, and I never will be.”

Make your education your top priority. Set your study times and plan ahead. Take breaks when necessary. You should reserve a few hours of the day for yourself and relax. Do not study the day before the exam, but review if needed. On the day of the exam, be confident in your abilities and present yourself well-prepared and in a business casual outfit.
