How to Survive Exams

It’s almost that time of the semester, and class is almost done. But not until you finish final exams. It can be stressful too, and a hectic time as you cram in everything to make sure you are finally prepared.

1. Study early: Study before the test early by reviewing the notes from last class and stay on top of school work.

2. Take notes and ask questions: If you are not sure of something, ask the teacher, but one teacher if you ask a question he will just say google it.

3.Highlight the important parts in text books: If the professor assigned you a text book then go through the book if you can highlight it and write it down.

4. Create a study guide, this is very important since it will help you to study for the finals.

5. Find out what kind of final it is since some are cumulative, and some are not. Some are going to be the last half of the semester and some are just the chapters or lectures they went over.

6. Study in a group this can be better since you can ask questions, and see the information they wrote down.


7. Don’t pull an all-nighter instead study a few days before so you can remember everything.

8. Drink energy drinks while studying so it can help jump start your mind. (But not too much)

9. Relax during the test, and don’t rush.

10. Drink after the test to celebrate the fact that you made it through finals. You do have to give yourself a reward.

Exams are important to pass the class, but it’s not the end of the world. It will pass, and then you can enjoy winter break, and relax. Then don’t do what I have done and look over the answers you missed that will drive you crazy. Above all relax especially after you get grades back, and find out you passed!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
