Every school year at the beginning I feel determine to take better and nicer notes for evey class but I somehow stop caring by the end of the quarter and have messy notes
FuzzyBunny 123 True😅
Same!! 😂😂😂
FuzzyBunny 123 yep me to and it sucks
t r u e !!
@@angelinemoses9641 same but i just don't take notes at all i just take a photo of the board 😂
Her: "I have this super strong paper and some erasable highlighters... "
Me:" So I have this cheap paper, a rubber and a half eaten pencil... "
Lara Treskavica lol I have a pencil that was free and a 5 dollar note book
@@rxmen_vibez8485 thanks 😂
lmao
Half eaten pencil?! 👀😂
So relatable 😂
U do all that while the teacher is explaining ? Amazing
Pink Ocean fr
It helps rewriting notes into something nicer after the lecture. I wish I could do that when I write it the first time down xD
For me I write really messy and then when I get home I rewrite them nicely buh idk about her
Pink Ocean it’s not amazing it just shows she’s not listening. Like I understand making your notes pretty to be more motivated to read and write them but the best time to do that is when the class is done, not when the teacher is explaining!
One of my classmates does these notes when the teacher explains.😂
Me- *looks down at my scribbles on a paper that are supposed to be notes*
Also me- *searches up ‘how to take notes’*
Me:looks at how to take better notes
Also me: I haven't written notes since 5th grade my teacher prints our notes why am I watching this
lowkey me right now
Angela Landfair that’s so nice loll
Me : *is still learning how to write in between the lines*
Just Briana OMG TRUEEEE
Same
I don’t know how, but I still manage to write at a downwards slope, even on lines! Soooo annoying
So true!
When I’m staring right in front of my paper I write in the lines but when I’m in the side I just write downwards is soo weird
Step 1: Have a nice handwriting.
Me: is leaving
Coco Crunch I don't have good handwriting!!....
Right? Her notes are better than my attempts to draw
✏📖
Well looks like I’m stuck there
okay...bye bye😅😅
I actually love taking notes lol, I just hate everything else about school
Veronica Nunez honestly, my friends are always so confused when I get happy when the teachers say we’re taking notes but something about taking notes and making them look pretty and neat satisfies me
Hermione Granger it’s very you, Hermione, how’s Ron? I bet he’s stuffing himself full of sweets :).
Same lol
Honestly I like most things about school, the only thing I don’t like is that the only reason we learn is to take exams and get good grades. Learning should be done in such a way that it is fun and not in a pressured environment that is tight on time.
@@lifeisbeatiful3657 As a aspiring Teacher, this is what we are taught now a days(Atleast in Sweden) regarding student motivation and this is how I plan to be as a teacher in the future! Study to learn not only(obviously we need to test your knowledge) through exams or such but mainly and ALSO make it in such way/manner that it is enjoyable!!
a tip for any of you who might be watching this in 2019:
focus on taking notes in class that just get down all the information you need and then worry about highlighting and rewriting later. the most important thing is to have all of the information you need
lavender moon magick Def do that^ I have an extra binder to place all my “neat” notes. Meaning I rewrite my notes, make them neater, cuter, etc the day I wrote my original notes. As I rewrite my notes I go over the certain topics and what I heard about them in class and what I know. So not only are you rewriting your notes but studying at the same time. Than whenever that specific test/quiz comes around you have neater notes and have already exposed yourself even more to that topic. But you can’t do this if you didn’t take the notes you had to during class because you were busy fancying them up.
lavender moon magick that’s what I do, it’s much easier.
Exactly. It's better to come back home and rewrite the notes. In that way, you're updated and you can add or subtract as you go so at the end of the year, you have great notes.♡
But then won't you need extra paper/note books at home to wright all your notes in?
@@ellas8392 So????
When i'm here to look at pretty notes but end up learning more about accounting than what my prof taught me in 2 weeks
837709644 😂 thanks😆😆
SAME OMG
Same XD 😂😂
Lol so funny.....i really enjoyed this video especially since I am an accountant....keep it up!
Hahahah samee!!!!
These notes are so pretty but my teachers would kill me if I wasted time doing them like this 😂
Sian sameee but they know I doodle on everything so I might as well😂
Oml same
Lol I don't have time unfortunately
This is the you write it down sloppy in class and fix it when you get home method
I write super sloppy notes in class and then come home and redo them like this. It also helps better retain the information because you review the lecture
I never knew erasable highlighters existed 😂💕
Maya Elizabeth lmao same
What it's the name? Erasable highlighters?
Me too! 😂
Okay!! Same
I bet the cost like $20 tho
Me: I'm going to take my time to write neatly.
Teacher: *Switches slides every second*
Me: *Starts writing in fifty different fonts*
Sunny Shine with messy handwriting
Fifty shades of fonts 😂😂😂😂
Unoriginal😒
Re write it at home then :)
We have no projectors. 🤣😂
OMG DID I JUST WITNESS AN ERASABLE MARKER?! 😱
🤙🏻🤙🏻
MelodiaMelanie yes you did i own _5 of them
@@satisfy.y4165 subtosub
Ok?
@@LaurenLiz I messed up the banner drawing for my notes do I have to use them still...or naw?
Fair warning with the erasable pen: I used these during the fall semester when it was still 90 degrees and the AC broke in my car. On my drive to and from school, the heat in my car caused the ink to disappear! All my notes were gone! Thankfully, they come back if you put them in the freezer, but so does everything you erase.
thats some scary sh-
THE FREEZER!!???
Oh wauw
that such a disaster
hold on lemme take my notes out of the freezer real quick
Why am I learning more about accounting here than I will ever learn in school?

ARMYYYYYY!!
Army are everywere
Im pround of you💜💜💜
I purple youuuu💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
So I have strong paper, erasable highlighters, beautiful handwriting, and an erasable hand.
I have cheap paper, a stabbed and ripped in half eraser, broken pencil/pencil with almost no lead, and the hand writing of a dyslexic buffalo
😂
The most relatable comment ive ever seen 🤣
Dyslexic buffalo lol even I sometimes don't understand my handwriting
“i like using cursive… cause its easier to read”
*looks at my cursive*
:)
her: erases highlighter
me: *mindblown*
I have a erasable pen
*DAMN* i used to have that exact same pen when i was in 2nd grade
The memories...
sameeee
omggg same
they were very cool tho
@@druidzz same😭😂
i remember doing this for 8th grade and almost everyone asked to see my notes. 😂
How do you even have time for this during lecture? My lectures go by so fast I literally struggle to write all the information I need to down... I take messy notes in class and then IF I have extra time in my schedule I try to clean them up.
Tess Albrecht I think what most people do it write the notes out quick then later go in and the extra bits. It can be a good form of revision as your are going back over the notes.
She used an erasable black pen so if she messed up the first time or had to write all her notes down because the teacher was talking to fast she could erase it later and rewrite it
With me I just try to write neat or make the meaning clear, then fix later. Throughout though I leave room for stuff if need be and use pencil for the hard stuff, pen for light work.
Tess Albrecht same
Record it is really helpful
i really want to organize my life but i’m too lazy to ugh
i love grayson i feel you
i love grayson • MOOD
Literally same
SO RELATABLE
To ughonize
Me: "OK this is year my handwriting gonna be even better"
*after 3 in half months*
Me: .....
START OF THE YEAR: Oh..Imma be SOOO productive, neat and aesthetic- that I will shock EVERYONE
MID YEAR: I’ll only be productive and neat when I feel like it!
END OF THE YEAR: Test?....What Test?!
Loved the video but this isn't realistic when you're in a college class and the teacher is talking a mile a minute.
Go home and do it and it will also help you go over your notes and retain information
Write whatever in class then go home and rewrite in a better handwriting and add anything u missed (I record classes and write the time of the info I missed to refer back at home) thats the only way I an study lessons; I just can't sit down for an hour or more moving my eyes across lots of rearranged letters scattered all over the book, I'd be failing😅
I write quick and crappy during class but when I’m home I use those same notes and re-write them neatly and more detailed.
I take a Notebook wich I Place in some notes. I didnt mind my handwritting dessignbor whatever I didnt really care bout that. Or I take pictures or I record The teachers voice by then.. When i come home I can redo it. But there are disadvantages wich the Teacher may Ask for your notes, and ofcourse they love a representable / neat sister. So yeapsz
Owlite Starfire you could always re do your notes and take sloppy ones first and then go home or whatever and redo them
My time and workload won't allow me to take fancy notes
liez rams thanks. Do these people not have a lot to study? This seems ridiculous wasteful and indulgent
liez rams me too
thepurplebindi well having pretty notes motivate me in a way :|
I don't think it was ignorance he was expressing, I think it is just personal opinions, no need to get heated up, please, we're all adults here learning to take notes and getting ideas from the video.
liez rams true
me: *tries to have nice notes, stay organized, and make homework look nice*
also me: *MESSY*
*these notes are goals bUt nO oNe hAs TiMe fOr tHis iN cLaSs*
that paper is gorgeous! and your handwriting is amazing, i'm so jealous! great job :)
saffysaffyrocks who h handwriting are u talking about
saffysaffyrocks but i am not jealous ☺
yasss girl ikr :)
Handwriting goals, OMG...
Natalie Hammond bless you
^_^
Its so true though, my notes like like a 5 year olds scribble😂
Lol I'm watching this the day before my exam I think I'ma little too late but oh well next time 😂
bruh this is literally amazing. im watching in 2019 and i am just astonished
Really pretty but Im one to slack off after some time so these notes would eventually be an OCD of structure and neatness if I did somehow manage to follow.
Basically, I'd have pretty notes and fail half my classes lol
Hinaru Uchiha Uzumaki What the heck does that mean? Learn grammar and also GO BACK TO YEAR 1 BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!
SFDiamondGamer 353 Uh... yeah it does. What’s not to get? Are there too many big words for your brain to comprehend?
+kitty kathy OH NO STOP YOUR OVER ROASTING THE PIG NO STOP BURNING IT!
:O
+SFDiamondGamer 353
Hey I got a pig oh thanks for roasting it.
+SFDiamondGamer 353 +Kitty Kathy
Thanks so much for watching!! Let's get a fun conversation started here in the comments💗🎨😋
Where did you learn how to do this????
I've always loved doodling during class, so I started trying to incorporate this into my note taking to make it much more enjoyable to be tuned in during lectures :)
Lauren Liz. Great I wish I had seen this video before ( My school days) i love it
Lauren Liz where is your bilder from? It super pretty
Lauren Liz what song did u use for this video
Oh my gawsh this is so beautiful!
Thank you, girllll!
First weeks/months of school:
*does this*
Later in the year:
*to lazy*
0:14
Rich kids of Instagram or Snapchat be like
"Not taking any notes down without my real gold edged note paper 😉😋😪☺️🙄😏"
Spoopy Cookie it helps the paper stay in your binder.
I'm so jealous on how artistic and gorgeous your handwriting is.
Question: Do you actually do all of that in class, or are you taking notes in class more like most people so you get all of the info and rewriting them later?
She probably rewrites them, because not only do you make them neater but rewriting them also helps you comprehend the information
*Simmer Heart*
She could probably do both at the same time. She just turns in the notes that are neat and keep the sloppt.
how to have cute and aesthetic notes 101!!!!!
step one: have good handwriting!!!!!
there ya go folks that is the main thing yall need to know!!!!!
ain’t nobody got time for that
all that time and effort for such little information
EXACTLY
blueberrymuffinC nobody got time for your face
I read just aint nobody and i was thinking u were gunna break into song of AINT NOBODY LOVES ME BETTER MAKES ME HAPPY MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAYY im just crazy
blueberrymuffinC exactly what I was saying over and over in my mind.
I love your way of taking notes and I will also try to use the same way while taking my own notes !!!!
Edit : I have tried 2 ways of them and my notes looked awesome !!!!😘
Thanks for the love !!!!
Out of all the note taking vids, your one appeals to me the most. The colouring in, the layout and different handwriting are all stuff I currently but you've given me some new ideas so thank you. And yes, more importantly I remember what my notes are so 👍
Where has this been my whole life?? Definitely!! Doing this for when school starts.
you have beautiful handwriting
Thank you💕💕
Those pens and highlighters(frixion one) have a tendency to fade overtime due to exposure to heat(sunlight) and inevitable friction(when papers are close together) though they're good as you can erase and rewrite them with ease incidents may happen, and tadda! you have a faded lecture.
Andrew Cruz omg
They also don't provide a lot of ink unfortunately. I managed to write exactly 3 math lectures with them and they were finished. Sad because the idea is really good..
Bluettx Fandom me too
OMG you are amazing! I know this was posted like a year ago but this is one of the BEST note taking videos that I’ve ever seen!
Thank you! Finally, someone that doesn't make their title look so complicated! I have recently started to take neater notes because I find it very helpful to study when the notes are organized!
I am obsessed with writing things down. Like obscenely. The frixion pens seem like they're lovely.... what is the size of the nub, and is the ink quality like gel, stick, or fountain? Is it true black, or is it slightly off? Do the nubs/ink skip? Sorry, I needed to ask someone these things lol
Brooke Poeschl haha no I totally get you!😆 the ink reminds me of gel and they can skip a little bit sometimes kind of like a rollerball. The ink is slightly more grey than black
The ink doesn't skip and is actually pretty smooth, its sort of a mix between a gel and a fountain pen. All of the colors are pretty good but the black is more of a gray than a black in my opinion. The nubs are kinda small but they don't disappear like regular erasers because the point is to create heat with the friction of the nub in order to make the ink disappear. Overall they are pretty good pens, but they aren't exactly my favorite because again the black is more of a gray than a black... I would honestly perfer to use a pilot g2 black pen with some white out, but dats my opioion.
If you decide to get the frixion pens, don't leave your notes/ paper in a hot area(like inside a car on a hot day). The writing will disappear!
Brooke Poeschl SAME
Brooke Poeschl I once used it on a test and nearly got zero because the ink completely rubbed off!
Beautiful work:)
Heather thanks so much!
H ey
yeah
Watching these kind of videos are sooo satisfying.
I love your handwriting and I absolutely love how you take notes. I am a visual and kinesthetic learner, I love being creative when I can be
My teacher does PowerPoints so I just copy that and and kinda listen to her. 😂 I really need to get the habit of listening to her.
I’m not even allowed to put my notebook on my desk during class lol
what grade- IM literally if we dont have it out we're fuckinG DONE.
i would have failed first grade without a notebook?
I used to have one teacher that does it, but i eventually survived lol
I loved this! I’m so gonna start shadowing my notes especially when I make those box / banter thingys on my notes 😂❤️
watched for advise but mainly for satisfaction, u r a queen if u can actually take notes like those in class!
It looks quite proffesional
Annmarie Bartholomew *professional
Annmarie Bartholomew ik this is soo off topic but are you an army ?
thank you so much this is so helpful since I am starting middle school
This is the first ever note taking video I have watched years back and now im here again!
Welcome back!💕😁
Love the fact that I'm an accounting student and completely understood what you wrote
_//Finally something that really helps me in school! You do not know what I'm grateful to you! Well, Thank you!_
Thank you!! So good to hear☺☺
Lauren Liz _//I'm glad you're happy._
I take Accounting as my major! So it was fun watching your video!! #AcctIsLife 👌❤️
Patricia Alcid yay!! 💗☺
Patricia Alcid Omg. Mee too ❤
aaah same😄accounting is so cool😄
I know for many people taking such notes shown in the video is just a whole lot of work and bullshit, but this really helps me in my studies. Having a visual pleasing notes encourages me more to finish the work.
Even though this was like 1 year ago and all and yt just recommended me this in 2019 I got so much motivation from this cuz my school starts in 3 days and taking notes is extremely necessary but mine always end up looking hella boring and I always end up forgetting about the notes. This video truly helped me thanks! ♡
Who keeps hearing the word "Hey" in the background music when she's writing those *AMAZING* notes???
Your writing is amazing !
thank youu so much for these. i've been losing motivation in studying and rewriting down my notes but this video really helped a lot.
I used to take notes on my computer but then realized I wasnt leaning anything, just typing stuff out, so i decided to start writing on paper again but i did not know how to so this helped a lot! thank you so much!
Please do a 'Study with me' vlog. It will be really helpful! Thank you ❤
me: *watches tons of these videos*
also me: *writes notes that i can’t read and has crappy drawings and lines down the top and sides*
Omg! Your hand writing 😍😍😍 I love your ideas and hand writing
I'm loving the erasable highlighters🤗
An accounting student here! And I'm on my 2 major subjects, Financial Accounting 3 and Cost Accounting!
Hurray for acct students! 🙌😅❤
Awesome!! I'm a marketing major but I'm taking a lot of accounting classes this year
Her: Shade on two SIDES of it.
*Shades Oval*
Me: WAIT THAT AIN'T RIGHT
Wow! I finally saw my subject on the notes! Loved it
Simple and straight to the point. Thanks Lauren
Are these the Jot brand erasable highlighters from Dollar Tree? They seem to work pretty well on your notes, guess they’re not bad for $1. I currently use the frixion highlighters, but they smear over gel pens. I’m not a huge fan of the frixion pens because the ink isn’t pigmented enough for my liking & it disappears in the heat, it’s inconvenient in sunny locations. I like your style of note taking though, so I appreciate this video :)
Yes the highlighters are from the dollar tree! So crazy. I love them😄
StickyStark I
lilella I think the frixion pens are the best erasable pens that exist right now. Papermate has their own version, but it doesn’t erase completely.
I used pilot erasable markers for a while, but now I use the Papermate Flair marker pens. THEY ARE AMAZING FOR PIGMENT, but they don’t erase 😢
lilella i heard uni made one that wasn't half bad.
Omg this helped so much I am just starting high school
Woot woot!
Wow 6:08 is the ariel view and it looks incredible! Great work!
All I gotta say is
THANK YOU FOR THIS
My notes are gonna look so nice
Loved your video! I have that exact same binder and paper, you have great taste 😉😊
Thanks so much!!
ugg if only my teachers wouldnt talk at super sonic speeds😂 your handwriting is literally perfect!! i wanna be able to take notes like yours someday...🤠
||-//
thank you. This inspired me to be neater and now I am more motivated to study!
It's Soo beautiful.. I am watching this video like 50 times repeatedly
OMG 😱😱😱 how in the heck is her writing so neat
I have an accounting degree so I really appreciated this lol
Thank you! This will help me neaten up my notes a little bit!
Your handwriting is too smooth and amazing.
Want to have a handwriting like yours
But my handwriting is horrible 😂😂
Make a video about how you do your cursive
I luv this idea... just gotta start paying attention
Amazing it was.. it won't be bored reading everyday if notes are such neat and colourful.. stationery and handwriting damn good👌
Fun fact: You remember things better when you write it in blue pen than black :)
Have a great day/night
Had this been scientifically proven, if yes, why do we remember blue stuff better than black notes?
Lol who has time for that!!!!!!! Especially when studying science in uni
You could rewrite your notes
You take down information during class then afterwards perhaps at home you change everything you wish. I'm not in Uni yet and I am just a senior in high school however I am doing AP classes and taking extra University level classes and taking your notes like this encourages you to study them more
im also in science but I use it as an opportunity to go over the material right after class. It makes me divide and summarize the information and helps retain it in the long run. It also doesn't hurt that the information is nice to look at and makes studying a tiny bit less dreadful.
Fiona Nguyen army’s everywhere !!!
Your videos is helpful,thank you for some amazing advise and i love every each of design that you wrote down!
Thank you !!
OMG SOOO AETHSTETIC AND COOL/PRETTY Good job lauren
So at the end of my last school my teacher was giving out awards, so she apparently thought I had the nearest writing and I was just like WHAT?!?!?!?!? :O
I have no idea why I'm telling anyone this just came to mind when I was scrolling through the comments.
:)
That’s so cool!!!!
Love those simple yet awesome ways of enhancing & beautifying your notes! I tried a couple of those, and it's not bad at all, but I definitely need more time to perfect the down-stroke one. By the way, what song did you use on the background???! I like it!!
What a fun video Lauren! Great tips!!!!
When I found this I SCREAMED at how good this is!
Stopppp! 💕💕
