1. you ace tests is by overlearning. you should know your notes/flashcards/definitions basically by heart. if someone asks you about a topic when you’re away from class or your notes and you can answer them in a thorough and and accurate answer, then you’re good, you know the material.
2. if you don’t understand something, it will end up on the test. so just don’t disregard and hope that this specific topic won’t be on the test. give it more attention, help, and practice. find a packet of problems on that one concept and don’t stop until you finish it and know it the best.
3. sometimes you just need that Parental Push. you know in elementary school, they would tell you ok now it’s time for you to do your homework! you have a project coming up, start looking for a topic now! ONE of your teachers might be like this. be thankful for it and follow their advice! these teachers are the best at always keeping you on track with their calendar. if not a teacher, then one of your friends that can keep you accountable for the things you promised you would do.
4. you just need to kick your own ass. seriously. i know it sucks and its hard to study for two things at once. BUT. I DONT CARE IF IT"S HARD. you need to do it and at least do it to get it over with because you can’t keep putting things off. If you do, you will eventually run out of time and you will hate yourself. force yourself to do it. i made myself sign up for june ACT even though there’s finals because if i didn’t, i probably never would.
5. do homework even if it doesn’t count. if you actually try on it, then you will actually do so much better on the tests, it’s like magic.
6. literally just get so angry about procrastinating that you make yourself start that assignment. I do this by thinking about my deadlines way early. I think, oh i have a presentation in three weeks (but it really takes 2 weeks to do), i’ll be good and start today. when that doesn’t happen, you say you’ll do it tomorrow, and this happens for like 4 days. By that time, you actually have exactly how much time you planned for it ;)
I……….. Don’t want a casual relationship or a serious one I feel like I’m 99 and 11 at the same time I’m over it all and not ready at the same time

I do not wish to be Korean.
I do not wish to change my race because of an infatuation with a musical genre.
I do not wish to marry a Korean, but if I like someone I like someone.
I will not tolerate you pointing out every South-East Asian and saying I’m interested in them solely because of their race.
I am aware that there’s more to Korean Culture (major duh)
I am not a Koreaboo.You should know we don’t appreciate you asking “Do you even understand that?” With a look of disgust on your face. How can you be so close minded and limit yourself to just one language of music.
