Pinkie, if I am in a healthy relationship, but my friends don’t like my boyfriend, what should I do?

​

Communication is key! Talk to your friends and ask them why they don’t like him; try to look at it from their point of view. If they have no reasonable answer then tell them, that although you appreciate their concern, you want this relationship to work out. If they are good friends to you, they’ll support you.

Pinkie, I really don’t understand biology, like at all. What do I do?

 

I get it, biology was definitely not my favorite subject. What you can try to do is use the workbook and create outlines of the sections you don’t understand. You can also try to make flashcards to memorize the different processes/vocabulary. I recently learned of this website called Khan Academy and it’s really simple to use. It has videos with questions you can answer to see if you understand the material. I definitely recommend it!

 

Pinkie, currently I study by reading over my notes and memorizing all that I think I should memorize. Am I doing anything wrong, and if so, what are better ways to study?

 

You’re not doing anything wrong, everyone studies differently and memorizing notes does help but only for a bit. You want to make sure that when you’re studying, you understand what you are memorizing!! Some new ways you can try to study are rewriting your notes, creating an outline or color coding certain facts when taking notes. When going over your notes, you can also try to listen to music that you like or re-read them before you go to sleep, so that when you wake up in the morning the last thing in your mind would be your notes. You might also want to change the room in which you study and take short breaks. You must also get a good night’s rest! Sleep is the most important part! Don’t stress yourself out too much about an exam, always have positive thoughts and always aim for a 100 no matter what.
