<p>I don't study at all. Yet I want to go to HYPSM and I know I should. My parents expect don't push and thats the same with me. So I admire yet also dislike hard workers (only because they can work and I just can't do anything). I still top my class in Australia but I know Andover is a whole new ball game so I gotta start. Especially with my courseload :(</p>
<p>Anyone have a motivational anecdote or article etc to help me study? Or any tips? Thanks</p>

<p>haha skatj. :D</p>
<p>Find a picture of your top pic for college, print it out on a huge sheet of paper, and put it where you would study. </p>
<p>Go to the Library a lot- sometimes the best way to study is when it's the only thing there for you to do.</p>
<p>Remember what you're working for! Find something that represents your dream life/dream college and surround yourself with those images. For example, my cell phone and laptop wallpapers are the Stanford Logo and my Binder has a Stanford brochure in the front. Keeps me determined =)</p>
<p>Haha, I like your advice ttan.</p>
<p>I should do the same, except clutter my books, binders, study desk, and clothing (..>_>) with Cornell stuff.</p>
<p>I think the psychological impact would work!</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>For me, my study habits involve what ttan said (having a goal to work for) and my friends and I help each other out by competing for better test grades and placing small bets and such ^^</p>
<p>Oh, and ttan, good luck on getting into Stanford!</p>
<p>Write down realistic achievable everyday goals + your long term goals. Put that list next to your pillow and read it every morning. :)</p>
