The Ultimate Tips For Studying To Get Your Through Finals

The end of the semester is near and that means work, work and more work. When you don’t want to study anymore, think again. YOU CAN DO IT. It’s just a couple of more weeks. You’ve already worked so hard these past 13 or 14 weeks so just put the effort in to the final couple and finish strong!

The best technique to studying is to start early. Your exam might be in two weeks but start now. Review your notes, previous exams and start studying. Doing this for a short amount of time every day will better prepare you for the exam. Rereading things over and over helps, too. It will eventually stick (trust me) and you will feel confident with the material. Stick with small 30- minute sessions throughout the week. So don’t do last minute cramming and stress yourself out.

These are helpful tips to keep in mind

Study groups

If there is a lot of material and you don’t think you can learn it all, get a group and share what you all know. Or, just get together and review the material. Why suffer alone when you can suffer with others?

Take a break

PUT IT DOWN. Don’t look at it. Watch Netflix or go grab some food. Give yourself enough time away from the material and then when you come back you’ll be refreshed and ready to hit it hard again.

Go to the gym

Release some stress. Go run it out, lift it out, or dance it out. Don’t worry about the material; your brain needs a rest. However, studying while doing cardio isn’t a bad idea either. So if you’re torn between going to the gym and studying, do both.

Flashcards

There are a lot of flashcard apps for your phone. These are helpful so when you’re waiting at the doctors office, or stuck by a train, you’re material is always with you. Or, use paper flashcards. These always help because your brain recognizes the word on the exam and then you can see the word on the flashcard and remember the information.

Use different colors

If you write in different colors of ink or highlight in different colors, your brain recognizes a different color and it refocuses.

Remember to sleep

You aren’t going to do well if you aren’t getting enough sleep. Stay healthy, sleep enough and eat right. Taking care of yourself is so important, especially at this stage in the game.

Turn off your phone

Turn off your phone so you can maximize your time spent studying. When taking breaks, text your friends back and check Twitter, but don’t pay attention to any device when you’re studying. If you’re studying on your computer, turn off your notifications so your eyes aren’t wandering

Don’t stress

It is what it is. If you've effectively studied then you have nothing to worry about.

You’re almost there. Keep going. It might feel awful now, but when you’re on break for a month, you won’t have to think about anything school related and can relax then.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
