"WHY BURN THE MIDNIGHT OIL?"

Assalamualaikum and hello to everyone out there!
Hmm..this topic is quite an interesting topic isn't it guys?
Well, why burn the midnight oil? What should I comment on this topic while I am also one of them. Actually its quite funny when it comes to doing a last minute work or last minute stdying. Everyone who stdy last minute knew about the hardness that they have to face but still they will do the same thing over and over. Why? Because it had been a habit. Since I was at my primary school, I am one of those who burn the midnight oil. I wanted to change nut still I can't. Anyone have any suggestions on how to change can share with me. From my opinion, it is not worth it when you study last minute because it is quite hard to remember everything about that particular subject when the time is very limited. So guys, please don't study last minute.I've experienced the hardness.
Good luck in changing!

Assalamualaikum and hello to everyone..Now we had given the topics to discuss that is WHY BURN THE MIDNIGHT OIL??This is a good topics to know because nowadays many of us do the work or study at last minutes right?.Normally,I also study last minutes depends on the subject I have learning.If the subject is so boring I prefer to study last minutes because it make me more active to study and as opportunity to refresh my memory.I know that there is not effective way to study at last minutes because it make me become so stress,less confident,tired,panic and so on.Even I know the bad effect for that but I still do the same thing.So,for all my friend try to avoid y0urself to study last minutes.I also try for myself.Make better prepareration thats a good action before our examination and try and learn how to make proper time management.Thank you.

I've got some experience of this, being a first-year student, who last year had a group of friends with screwy sleeping schedules, and occasionally left work to the last minute. Disclaimer staying up for a long period of time can make you act unusually, which could lead to something nasty happen. Pulling all-nighters frequently could possibly have bad effects on your health. If you thought that stay up is the better way to study actually,you're almost certainly not going to manage to persuade yourself to stay up all night unless you are pretty determined to.Lastly,good luck for final examination!!!

"Y BURN THE OIL at MIDNIGHT?" of course la.. because night is dark. ha ha.. by the way, burn midnight oil is not proper to do by the student especially. because of they need to prepare to tomorrow lesson. but there some reason if do like that. like to finish up the task or assignment. but for me, is like a habit that myself can't avoid it! ha ha.. dun say at midnight only.. but till the dawn or doesn't slept in that case. If we manage the time properly, seems we doesn't need to stay in night to done the work. I'm right? think about it!

Assalamualaikum to everyone...
what do you think about this topic??why burning the midnight oil??...
Actually i'm also do this kind of thing until now,but in my experience burning the midnight oil is not good.Especially for student,they do this because they left or do not finish their work in the right time.Besides that, i think burning the midnight oil is should not be practice because sometimes it can cause bad effects to us.For example we will feel sleepy at the morning and cannot concerntrate in the class.As we all know there are many more problem will come out from this thing but there are some people still prefer to used it and it is not a problem as long as they know how to manage it.So all the best to all...

Hello everyone!!!!

"why burn the midnight oil?"

The title of this article is actually related to me because when test or examination is coming i'm always do the revision at the last minute..

After reading the article, I agree that we need to manage our time effectively and last minute preparation will only make the work is not achieve the target @ not complete. In my opinion, planner is really important in our life. It is because we can set which time we want to study, rest and do another thing with properly and also prevent burning the midnight oil.

That's all....
Thank you.

Why burn the midnight oil??? Quite an interesting topic. For me, when the subjects are more on reading and understanding I will study it earlier..but just a little bit..When I need to memorize the fact, I prefer to do it when I want to sleep and early in the morning..And I'm a person who can't study continuously, so after one hour study I will take rest..but some subject I will study it last minute..hmm..I think that's all..daaaa.. :-)

Based on the article that I have read which entitled "WHY BURN THE MIDNIGHT OIL",I agreed with the facts that said,many students like to study last minute which is one day before exam or an hour before it.For me,this way of study is not very suitable but students may be have to face many problems such as sickness or blurr during the examination.As a students,we need to have day planner,set the deadlines which is priority works must come first(study)and start the day with a difficult works in order to make our minds is ready to thinking much better.Then when we solve the easy works,it will make us quick and fast to solve that particular works.That's all from me,I hope this kinds of study method can be applied by us to success.thank you...

Burning the midnihgt oil….This article is a little bit similar with my self…Why I said like that?? May be because I always study last minute… But I do agree that study last minute is not a good habit because anything could be happen at the last minute. For an example you don’t know when you will get sick or you have aproblem so study last minute is very dangerous….Eventhough it’s like that but I always doing it before…heheheheee…… But now I’m still trying to avoid from do it like that…because history has taught me so many things… We have to learn from the history, because without history there will no now and tomorrow. So for all my friends start change you paradigm now because there is no word “late” for the people who search successful………..Till then …adiOOOsss……………..

"WHY BURN THE MIDNIGHT OIL"?

Actually,,this is one of interesting topic that i like to discuss...
As we know...mostly student from primary school until university student do the same thing, which is study at the last minutes. same likes me..I'm also do it although i know that is not the best way and can cause the bad effect to me. however, only certain student can study at the last minutes.
as for me..study at the last minutes can give me more stress and tension. so, start from now, we need to have day planner to keep in mind what the things to do..also,, we need to have set deadlines for every activity in everyday to make sure that we remember to do it. for sure, we can avoid from sick or stress and our life can be much better.
so think carefully what ways that you want to choose either study at the last minutes or study smart??
huhuhu... =]

Hello everyone..

"Why burn the midnight oil?"

Actually, I'm always do my assignment and do revision up to last minutes. From my experience, this is not good habit. In the end,it bring not so good result. However, it is hard to me to change it because I still struggling to manage my time properly. I think the best way to have a planner or schedule which I don't have it.Also,if there a work to do, don't wait until tomorrow to do it. It's best to do as soon as possible.

burning the midnight oil = students.. right?

Drinking shot after shot of espresso or Nescafe and taking ice-cold showers in the middle of the night maybe become one of the way for the students to stay awake. yes, i had the experience when i did all this nuts thing.. and the consequences was soo bad.. i got headache and flu plus i felt really tired for 3 days.

i realized that no need to burn the midnight oil as early preparation will help us to wade the unexpected situation when the exam is around the corner. i think 4-5 hours of sleep is enough. yup! when we're tired, nothing goes into our brain... so, forcing ourselves to stay up is utterly pointless..

one more thing.. by burning the midnight oil, slowly you'll have the eye bag and of course you dont want to be like a sibling of panda right?? think about it!

Assalamu'alaikum.

For me why student burning the midnight oil because student cannot manage time efficiently about their studying.
They not prepare from the beginning and then they must studying last minute.
Although the student know how this can affect to their study and health, they do not care.
This also trend among their student when examination held.
For me, we must take this seriously. We do not know what will happen next time. We must take action to avoid this thing happen currently.
Before this I also do that, but now I know I will make I stress and not enough time to studying. This can affect my result.
So we must take an action. Not take this as habit.

Assalamualaikum and hye everyone...

I rarely burn midnight oil because I need lots of sleep.If I had unfinish task that I need to accomplish, I will wake up early in the morning to do that task.

As we all know, burn midnight oil give many bad side effects. If we don't have much time to study, don't burn the midnight oil but allocate some time perhaps in the daylight or during night before sleep for about 2 until 3 hours. During that allocated time, study hard and make sure we understand the subject well.

I'm not a suitable person to give such advice but that is my suggestion. Sometimes, study late at night make ourself sleepy and we might didn't get anything about the subject that we studied.

Lastly, good luck for final exam and don't forget to help our friends because spreading knowledge is gaining more knowledge.

burn the midnight oil..

nowadays,students keep givian a night stand towards their assignments and projects.For me,this is kind of not really good habit.Eventhough we are using table lamp or light source from our laptop,but the amount of light is still not enough for a perfect study.

How to avoid from practising burn the midnight oil?

Firstly,we must complete our task as soon as possible.Delaying will make us become harder in future,especially when they are many tasks to be submit at the same time.Make sure there will no last minute work!

Next,each person in this world especially students need an adequate time of sleep.We must sleep early..and we could get up early on the next morning,and continue our study.Teenager like us should have six hours sleeping time at least.

Then,we must concentrate towards the lecturer's taught in front of class.'SMS'ing or playing at the back just wasting our time.Respect your teacher,and they will bless us.

Lets try together!!

why burn the midnight oil..? erm..nowadays,i believe that many students like to study last minute..Maybe they want to avoid theirself from forgot what they had read if they study early..so,one way to remember is study last minute..the another reason why student always study last minute is they choice to enjoy first without realise that the examination time become short.that's why they will panic and decide to study last minute because don't have enough time..

To avoid this happen,student must always prepare early and spend their time correctly..they also must have a routine shcedule to prevent them waste the time..

Assalamualaikum.

It is a fact that many student love to burn midnight oil especially when they have an assignment to be completed.The reason why is they have a pack schedule.But,this can affect their bed time and distract their study.So, every student must arrange their time wisely.

"Why burn the midnight oil ?"

I myself burn midnight oil all the time. It is normal for student to do so. As many assignments and studies that need to be done, we all slept at 12am+. Even though sometimes no work need to be done, or not studying, students sleep late to talk to their friends, Skype and many things to release tension. Some even have insomnia and such.

As how to avoid myself from burning the midnight oil, I would try to not to sleep in the evening and complete my work beforehand. And at night, I would complete my work before 10.00pm unless too many work have to be done.

"Why burn the midnight oil ?"


This is not a statement but a fact, every student are always burning the midnight oil.Why does this happen in almost student? This is because of the term last minutes work.I didn't want to point my fingers to the others because I always do this.This is not a good habit for student to sleep at late but sometimes there will be a day that there are too much of work to do.Studying, doing homework, and also the assignments that need to be submit on time.Refer to the article, ones should have a day planner and set the deadlines, but sometimes it did not help well if it just a planning on a plain paper without stick to it.

Here we need to set our mind in the highest state.As a student in the University, ones should know what is important in their daily life.Find some alternative when you have a lots of work to completed in a minimal time.No need to burning midnight oil every time you have a lots of work, because rest is also need in your daily life.

"Why burn the midnight oil ?"

There's a solution for those who want to avoid burn midnight oil.This is what I always do.

Firstly, I always list down all the work or task that given by the lecturer and finish it starting from the difficult to the easiest task.Difficult task takes a lot of time to finish, compare to the easiest one.

Secondly, if I intend to do some assignment or work in the last minutes, i will make sure all the materials and things is ready to use because findings and ready the materials is the hardest part in doing assignments or project.

Thirdly, Always refresh my mind with what i learn today, and stay focus on what I learn in class.It is because I hate to understand everything in my own that not surely correct.

But sometimes, time can't be predict as we think, in certain cases, burn midnight oil still happen although we have plan everything...so be prepared on everything..
