I never studied before—any tips?

Hi everyone, I’m in college now and realizing I never really learned how to study. High school was super easy for me—most of the time I just did guided notes from the reading and that was enough to do well. But now I’m feeling kind of lost. Does anyone have any advice or methods for how to actually study effectively? I’d really appreciate any tips or suggestions!

my favourite methods are 1. Skimming and reading through the text and write questions involving the information you’re learning for yourself! then a day later you can go through the questions, and those you can’t remember the answer to; look up what they are and then come back to them the day after c: 2. Write a list or flash cards for important vocabulary (works best in science)
