If Calvin was diagnosed with ADHD, later on Dad might feel pretty dumb for saying "How could you possibly forget?" in that tone.

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

I was just thinking that, my childhood was filled with responding to "why didn't you do x?" With "I forgot" or making something up because I legitimately didn't know why I didn't
"How could you forget?"
"Well you see, I was doing shit that didn't make me absolutely miserable and the next thing I knew it was time for the test"
Calvin is such a cute little dude.
Just don't let him near the car company logos.
I really wish that Bill had been able to shut that non-authorized shit down.
TBF studying is bullshit
It's like the proven best way to get stuff stuck in your head. Repetition is super helpful for memory. As an adult usually your repetition is kept to work time but it isn't a different concept.
To me, repetition implies exercise and usage, whereas studying for a test is a cram session before moving on to something else.
The worst way to study is indeed not a very good way to study, you are correct.
whereas studying for a test is a cram session before moving on to something else.
And you forget about it a few days later at most.
Cramming and studying are different. Sure many people use cramming in place of studying for tests and whatnot. But proper studying involves working on understanding via exercise and usage. And doing so more often than in just a pre-test cramming session.
I don't think you know how to study then. There is an entire category of psychology called Learning and it's main focus is how we retain information. There are proven ways to retain information.
I was in grad school when I realized I didn't know how to learn. I skated in high school and college, though looking back, some of those higher level classes in college should have been a sign that there was a problem, but I pulled it off with reasonably good grades.
It was a year or so into grad school before I realized I needed to learn this stuff without relying on the professor. I graduated, but not by much.
Any good references? I learn by doing, but that doesn't work well with purely theoretical stuff.
I had a similar problem - the only college courses I didn't ace were ones I didn't show up to - and dropped out of grad skool after it kicked my ass for a year.
Why?
