This is probably something that’s already been said but just in case,

One of the most amazing study tips I have discovered recently is keeping a notebook and pencil RIGHT next to you while you are studying or reading a book for a class (or doing any sort of reading that isn’t just for fun). Every time a stray thought comes to you, write that shit down. Then it isn’t bugging your brain to try and remember for later, it’s there for you to visit when you aren’t studying and you can move past it and go back to study. 

Also, make sure it’s a notebook separate to where you keep your notes for studying/classes, so you can keep the two mindsets apart: study / free time. I really like the little ones from Typo for outside thoughts and use big A4 notebooks for my uni notes.

Trust me, as a writer who gets random story/concept tidbits ALL the time, this is amazingly helpful because it ensures I get to keep all the ideas without them clogging up my brainspace, and it also gives me a sort of “reward” for studying, because I have these little brain bits that I get to explore in detail more once I’ve done my allotted school stuff, without feeling guilty for getting off track by delving into them as soon as they come to mind and getting distracted from my studies because I can’t stop thinking about this rad idea.

TL;DR: Keep a spare notebook to write down all of the distracting thoughts that pop up while you’re studying. Write them down, get them out of your brain, go back to studying with the knowledge that they are right there to dedicate brainspace on when you are finished focusing on study.

This is also super useful to lessen anxiety because you are no longer thinking “oh gosh I need to remember these 2 thousand things!!!!”

The fact that no time travelers have appeared to stop Donald Trump yet suggests one of two things: either he doesn’t win the election or he does and the entire world ends.

Or Ted Cruz was the time traveller, and his participation in the race is part of a stable time loop which leads to Trump becoming President

Ted Cruz’s uncanny behavior and appearance are actually because he is an alien investigating the exact reasons why Earth became a charred cinder in galactic federation year 20967234. He dropped out when he realized the answer and is now making arrangements to be beamed away before it is too late.

unfortunately due to a mishap during the beaming process he is sent to 1960’s northern california and is driven mad and thus becomes the zodiac killer

which we all gave him the idea for in the first place
