15 Finals Study Tips From Disney

They're here. It's the week that we have been dreading all semester. It's finals week. We all panic about how we will do on our exams and how much time we will have to study. We are just hoping to come out unharmed and mentally stable. Studying can be a tough thing to conquer, but some of our favorite Disney characters can help with that.

1. Find a quiet place to focus

Whether its the library, a study lounge or your own dorm room, the best place to get your work done is definitely a place with little noise to distract you.

2. Keep a snack handy.

Eating right when studying for your exams is important. If you don't have time for your regular meals, having a snack nearby can work wonders. I don't recommend "hunny" though.

3. Make sure to get your rest.

We are all tempted to pull an "all-nighter" because we think the more studying we do, the better prepared we will be. However, not getting regular sleep can affect your concentration. Also, if you accidentally pass out, there probably won't be a handsome prince to wake you up.

4. Manage your time.

Sadly, we are not in Neverland and hands on the clock continue to turn. Managing your time can help you decide when you will study what and how much time you will spend on each subject.

5. Alternate study techniques.

Changing your study methods can help you figure out what works best for you and allows you to grasp the material the best. Take it from Mulan, if she didn't cut her hair and changed her way of life, she wouldn't have known how strong she really was.

6. Make Flashcards

Flashcards are a great memorization tool and are easy to use. You may even be so happy with them after the exam that you may want to all break out into a choreographed dance routine.

7. Find a study group to work with

Having people in your class that you can easily bounce ideas off of can be super beneficial to your understanding of everything you learned. Plus, you may even be able to help another person if they don't understand something.

8. Try your best not to procrastinate

Merida's reaction is one we all have when we think about studying for finals. I know continuing your Netflix show or checking your Facebook page is tempting but try your best to stay focused.

9. Don’t be afraid to ask professors for help

Being at college I have heard countless times that the "professors are here to help you." Reach out to them for help on things you don't get or for study suggestions. Just don't put balloons on their house, that might not be the best idea.

10. Test yourself on what you’ve studied.

If you don't check what you've learned, you won't know if you fully understand it. Take online tests and quizzes and make a study guide. Take it from Bambi, he struggled with his first steps but after trying them out, he got the hang of it.

11. Make a playlist of your favorite songs.

Studying can ultimately be super boring and stressful without some music playing through your headphones. I mean, look how calm Lilo looks.

12. Remember to take breaks.

Overdoing it won't help you or your grade. It's important to take short breaks, get something to eat, take a nap, or just sit back. This will give your fins a rest.

13. Use all the resources available to you.

College offers so many free tutoring services and books that can help you study. Make use of everything because you don't know when you will actually have to start paying for them.

14. Repeat and rewrite your notes

Repeation has been proven to help you memorize things better. I don't suggest going crazy like Tarzan but rewriting some of the key points can definitely help.

15. RELAX!

You will get through it. It is just one test. Keep a good balance between getting your work done and finding some down time and you will be perfectly fine. Maybe even find a hammock to swing on for a while.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
