1. Invest in a planner
Ignore the year😂
Write out all of your assignments and exams. That way, you can be organized and keep yourself in check. When you finish something, cross it out. It helps you feel productive and even little achievements are fulfilling! This has helped me TREMENDOUSLY since freshman year. -Having a calendar mounted on the wall in your room helps too because you have to look at it everyday.-
2. Study with an incentive
Have some snacks ready while you're working on homework or studying. When you finish a problem or finish a chapter, treat yourself with a snack-cake, piece of candy, or a lice of pizza (if you go all out like I've done with friends in the past). It helps because you have to earn it, but make sure you have people that will keep you in check and vice versa. Oh, and DON'T CHEAT.
3. Add color to your notes
Whether it's pens or adding color to your plain ink with a highlighter, it helps. It allows you to keep track or topics, their importance, and helps with visual memory! -I'm more of a highlighter enthusiast, personally.-
4. Command strips will be your best friend
Whether it's hanging pictures, dry erase boards, Command hooks for purses, hats, jackets, etc., these are great for organizing and decorating your place. I have a drawer filled with these and have used them religiously.

6. Warm beer? Here's how to fix it! (w/ additional beer hacks)
Wrap the beer (or whatever) with a damp paper towel and put it in the freezer for 5 minutes. It'll be ready to go!
7. Make friends in your classes
When presentations come around and the class has to ask you questions, prepare your friend with some questions that you already know the answer to! That way, the class looks engaged AND you look better in the long run 😉😁
8. Drinking in public (tailgating)
After we started selling beer in our stadium, campus police have been cracking down on alcohol altogether- underage drinking at least. If you want to take the risk, do it the clever way!^^^
