So, back in high school/college, I did a lot of studying on memory from the minds of Tony Buzan and others and I figured I would share my knowledge of how YOU can memorize almost any of the useless crap that your teachers want you to memorize. These are the same techniques that card counters use in order to beat blackjack.
The study of memory is called "mnemonics" and you've probably been somewhat introduced to it in your life. Whether you studied music - learning things like "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" for memorizing the treble clef, or "ROY G BIV" for memorizing the colors of the rainbow. Acronyms are a big part of how you can remember things with a fraction of the brainpower.
You know how you get songs stuck in your head? You can also use music to memorize things. For instance:

I know... that last song sounded pretty stupid. But if you listen to that thing for an hour straight, you bet your arse you're going to remember the U.S. presidents in order.
Another crucial tool for memorization is something called "The memory palace." This is the tool that card counters use in order to beat blackjack. Here's a great TED talk that refers to this:
