The semester is very slowly coming to a close and with that comes tons of stress and a mental breakdown at least every hour. While you are drowning in tests and (dumb) group projects there are a few things we have to remember not to forget.
Don't forget to eat. I know I have skipped meals to sit in the library and work on a 6 page paper I have due that next morning. But, do not forget to eat, stress and not eating do not mix well together.
Don't forget to have fun. Yes, you are at school to go to classes and get your degree but don't let one grade make you miserable. I'm not saying to go out partying every night instead of studying but don't let your schoolwork completely take over your life.
Don't forget to take breaks. It doesn't matter how long you study for, if you don't take breaks every hour or so you are going to forget most of the things you think you are learning. You are going to tire yourself out before you can even finish your flashcards.
Don't forget about the other people in your class. If you don't know a certain chapter or section, remember there are other people in your class who can help you. Study buddy's are real, remember to use them.
There are so many tips out there to help you study, but just remember not to overwhelm yourself. Your own personal health and well being are not more important than a grade. Grades can be changed, papers can be rewritten, you are most important.
