7 Tips For This Finals Season
Her Campus

There was tailgate szn, basketball szn, formal szn...now it's finals szn! Finals can be rough and getting yourself to study can be hard, so here are some helpful study tips.

1. Sleep

Sometimes amidst all the studying, you forget to get some Z's. Sufficient sleep can help you focus and make your time spent studying more worthwhile.

2. Study>going out

Put that Natty Lite down; the party is over...grades should always come first. Missing a few social gatherings that you probably won't remember anyways will be well worth it. Focus on your education right now and celebrate when finals are over.

3. Don't skip meals

You need calories to focus. If you're spending the day in the library, it is easy to forget to eat. Pack nutritious snacks or bring lunch to-go!

4. Think positively

You got this! Have some confidence! Positive self-talk can help you succeed.

5. Flashcards & review sheets

Quizlet allows you to make helpful online flashcards and review games...this can be an alternative to conserve paper!

6. Study groups

These are a great way to review with multiple perspectives. Also, if you have any questions, someone in the group may know the answer!

7. Put that phone down

It's only going to distract you. Each time that phone buzzes, you'll lose focus.

Good luck! Hope these tips help!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

2013
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
