Do's and Don't When Studying

Study Tips by a Student for a Student
Gerd Altmann  

As a college student, I can say staying up late studying for exams is not the best thing in the world. It is tiresome and at times difficult juggling class work and other responsibilities. Most students who are involved in other extracurricular activities and organizations especially feel the pressure cramming work in their limited time. Lack of time can lead to bad choices and bad study habits. The following are a things I learned throughout my experiences in college.

1. Get Sleep!!!

Pulling all nighters the night before the exam is not a good idea. It leads to burn outs and fatigue the following day when you have your exam and most likely all the information crammed wont be remembered.


2. Eat a Meal

I know everything has to be submitted by their deadlines and eating takes up your time, but it's better to not get sick when everything has to be done.

3. Prioritize

It's bad enough you feel overwhelmed with the work load and then not know where to start. Start from the beginning. Making a list of most difficult or time consuming can facilitate the process of completing everything

4. De-Stress

When nothing makes sense anymore take a break. Exercise, sleep, talk on the phone...etc. Do something that isn't relative to school.

5. Feel Confident

After all the effort put into studying walk into the exam feeling confident in yourself. You made it.

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!

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.
