The list below are just a few motivational, yet desperate ideas to help you raise your grades for finals:

1. Ask/Beg for extra credit.

Do not be embarrassed. Go to the teacher's office, and BEG! Lol, maybe not get on your knees and weep, but definitely ask for extra credit assignments, or ask if you could turn in late work. Keep asking until they just want to give you all the possible help. Desperate. Check!

2. Bribe the teacher.

Baked goods "of appreciation", Jackson, Grant, and Hamilton may ring a bell..need I say more?

3. Participate more than ever before.

No,seriously. If you haven't been doing it then raise your hands and speak until the day of the final. Even if its just to nod your head and go "yep, uh huh, I agree."

4. The buddy system.

That student that always does their work, yeah try and befriend them... Ask them how they are doing, ask a few questions, or even see if they don't mind helping you out with a few questions about the course. Get yourself on track.

5. Library Overkill.

I know the library may have been foreign to you all semester long, but this is the time to stay up until 5 A.M. if you can ! Bring snacks and your favorite music if you can focus.

6. Excuses for your 10+ absences.

Students have went as far as bringing in funeral notes or doctors notes to cover their asses. Lying about having to attend a funeral may be taking it a bit too far, but hey you're here to look for desperate options right?! Definitely try the doctor notes though. Hehe!

I'm pretty sure all colleges/universities have a zero tolerance for plagiarism....BUT if you are feeling bold and risky.. then...

7. Use external sources like Google, YouTube, etc.

Those sites were created for a reason, and are there to help inform...Inform yourself. Self-help is always great.

Just kidding about #7, but seriously try your hardest and don't give up. You paid to stay in school and receive a degree. Now its Grind time. Show Up and Show Out. You got this !
