Do you read the passage when you're doing Chem / Phys? I generally find that I don't need to, but I do it anyways out of precaution. On FL5, I tried to not read the passage and just search through it to find relevant information to answer the questions. I finished 30 minutes early and only got 2 wrong.
I find that I cannot use this strategy on the other three sections.
Trying to get myself into a better study routine, so I figured I’d start posting my study sessions here. Hopefully I can look back at these posts later and see that I'm making progress.
My brain works better when I am studying under pressure. I always cram my review the day before my actual exam and surprisingly, it works.
I am in nursing school and have always had a lot of exams but I've yet to fail any exam, even when I am cramming. Here's how I pass them even when I'm cramming my review:
I often start around 6 or 7 PM and I read the lecture slides 2 to 3 times. In that way, I can finally try to understand the flow of the lesson and how everything comes together before I start to explain it using my own words.
After re-reading the slides, I will use a mistake notebook while still having the lecture slides side by side. If I don't remember anything I've been reading in the lectures, I will write it in my mistake notebook. This helps me to identify what specific topic I am struggling to memorize.
I will highlight the topics I wrote down that I didn't remember and do active recall on them, out loud.
Afterward, I also use another piece of paper to write them down again to solidify my memory through rote memorization.
I always do this method when I am out of options for studying (realistically cramming for exams). This actually helps me to get A+ on my exams, especially in my majors and ace them.
When i was a fresher in ugc, i approached many brands and didn't recieve response from any brand so i was very disappointed but suddenly i recieve an mail in my inbox stating that i am selected as a ugc creator for their upcoming campaign, (i was on cloud nine that finally i got my 1st brand deal), after discussing further they suddenly ghosted me and when i tried to reach out they blocked me idk why ( everything was going smooth) .
For the 2nd scam, a brand approached me for their brand campaign, but I had to pay 199$ as an enrollment fee, and without any second thought I paid the amount thinking this would boost my portfolio, but I was scammed again as they blocked me after I made the payment.
For the 3rd scam, an agency contacted me saying they can help me get a brand campaign, but I have to pay 1000$ as their fees, and guess what? I was scammed again. This broke me like anything, as at that point in time I was struggling quite a lot and just had 2000$ in my account, lost 1200$ to these scams, got suicidal because of this, but God had other plans i got 6 campaigns in the next 3 months, and then I was back on track. So if you are starting ugc please don't fall for these scams. I got lucky that I received the campaigns otherwise, idk what I would have done
I should’ve specified it when I wished to become a model when I was younger. Lol. I’ve always wanted to become a model. I've been to different modeling agencies, submitted portfolios, and tried different gigs but they always give me similar feedback: “you’re too stiff and awkward in front of the camera.” I almost gave up with that dream until one of the agencies I tried to work with told me my hands are beautiful and could pass as a hand model.
AND I DID! I mean my hands did. My hands have been on different posters and ads in our country, basically just holding items, foods, open items, pointing at it, or using it to express in front of the camera. The star of the show here isn’t me, but my hands just by showing itself on the camera. When I tell you that my hands have more skincare products than my face, you wouldn’t believe how much I spend on hand creams and sun protection. Even using a knife feels like a matter of life and death.
I guess most of you are aware of hand models by now, it’s actually not hidden or something lol but I have been doing it for quite some time now and I'm happy that my hands are literally working hard to pay my bills.
Everyone talks about the freedom, money and brand deals. But UGC has a side you don't see on social media.
Rejection is constant. You can send 30 pitches and barely get a few replies.
The work goes beyond filming. Scripts, revisions, emails, contracts, invoices and follow-ups can take hours.
Income isn't consistent. One month can be amazing, while the next can be completely quiet.
Some brands undervalue creators. Low budgets, unlimited revisions and excessive usage rights are common.
Burnout is real. Constantly creating, pitching and chasing opportunities can become exhausting.
I seriously can't stop listening to Freak, even if it just shows I've listened to the song 12 times, I can't stop listening to it on YouTube (my laptop is on windows 8 so it can't process Spotify, LOL)
Something about the instrumentals comforts me, and the way she begins the song with a specific tone in "baby will you come with me nowhere?" is so dreamy.
Everything about this song is dreamy!! I love this whole album SO much.
