How cramming translates to the real world 6/10/25

How cramming is one of the best things you did in college that you can do in the working world

⬇️

…jk, don’t do it!

The educational system has rewarded who can cram and memorize the most amount of information for a singular moment in time. (aka test)

This is the ANTITHESIS of TRUE LEARNING!

True learning means it’s a part of your identity. You’ve integrated and internalized it.

That means it’s part of your long-term memory (mentally AND physically).

Cramming just improves your capacity for short-term memory.

So that helps with short-term change. But not long-term change.

So you’ve gotta unlearn cramming as a way to learn if you truly want to learn and EMBODY it.

That’s one way I’d invest in myself as a 22 year old recent grad…just sayin’
