15 Finals Study Tips From Disney

They're here. It's the week that we have been dreading all semester. It's finals week. We all panic about how we will do on our exams and how much time we will have to study. We are just hoping to come out unharmed and mentally stable. Studying can be a tough thing to conquer, but some of our favorite Disney characters can help with that.

1. Find a quiet place to focus

Whether its the library, a study lounge or your own dorm room, the best place to get your work done is definitely a place with little noise to distract you.

2. Keep a snack handy.

Eating right when studying for your exams is important. If you don't have time for your regular meals, having a snack nearby can work wonders. I don't recommend "hunny" though.

3. Make sure to get your rest.

We are all tempted to pull an "all-nighter" because we think the more studying we do, the better prepared we will be. However, not getting regular sleep can affect your concentration. Also, if you accidentally pass out, there probably won't be a handsome prince to wake you up.

4. Manage your time.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F25%2F635972084321676953-1916880849_6359663608059321461489808004_giphy-2.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=429&h=1125f44ceac1e69ce177d18793cf6559636c8293f890b9befd4d03baa0b6ba65&size=980x&c=1396321924 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F25%252F635972084321676953-1916880849_6359663608059321461489808004_giphy-2.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D429%26h%3D1125f44ceac1e69ce177d18793cf6559636c8293f890b9befd4d03baa0b6ba65%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1396321924%22%7D" expand=1]

Sadly, we are not in Neverland and hands on the clock continue to turn. Managing your time can help you decide when you will study what and how much time you will spend on each subject.

5. Alternate study techniques.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F25%2F6359720843216769531040065566_63596673839290758388506868_tumblr_n2d3l5On161trmkp7o1_500.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=747&h=043a70f82a98aaee12df8984da26fe694aa2d29100989d56aa69c455fecd1707&size=980x&c=2564340397 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F25%252F6359720843216769531040065566_63596673839290758388506868_tumblr_n2d3l5On161trmkp7o1_500.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D747%26h%3D043a70f82a98aaee12df8984da26fe694aa2d29100989d56aa69c455fecd1707%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2564340397%22%7D" expand=1]

Changing your study methods can help you figure out what works best for you and allows you to grasp the material the best. Take it from Mulan, if she didn't cut her hair and changed her way of life, she wouldn't have known how strong she really was.

6. Make Flashcards

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F25%2F6359720843237082211686073156_635966735049126578-552402927_15%2520-%25201.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=131&h=589ec6e823dc161d0f31bb16474a1e53c9c6afaa8742b77566394d5ab8d32b4e&size=980x&c=1475742464 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F25%252F6359720843237082211686073156_635966735049126578-552402927_15%252520-%2525201.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D131%26h%3D589ec6e823dc161d0f31bb16474a1e53c9c6afaa8742b77566394d5ab8d32b4e%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1475742464%22%7D" expand=1]

Flashcards are a great memorization tool and are easy to use. You may even be so happy with them after the exam that you may want to all break out into a choreographed dance routine.

7. Find a study group to work with

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F25%2F635972084324177017-355039417_635966735441476696258895306_tumblr_lu9p28ftx61qm6oc3o1_500.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=72&h=998acabe3cccd172334a9fad51b1f62bb60ff79ff680d78932841458f5e09eb5&size=980x&c=138788214 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F25%252F635972084324177017-355039417_635966735441476696258895306_tumblr_lu9p28ftx61qm6oc3o1_500.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D72%26h%3D998acabe3cccd172334a9fad51b1f62bb60ff79ff680d78932841458f5e09eb5%26size%3D980x%26c%3D138788214%22%7D" expand=1]

Having people in your class that you can easily bounce ideas off of can be super beneficial to your understanding of everything you learned. Plus, you may even be able to help another person if they don't understand something.

8. Try your best not to procrastinate

Merida's reaction is one we all have when we think about studying for finals. I know continuing your Netflix show or checking your Facebook page is tempting but try your best to stay focused.

9. Don’t be afraid to ask professors for help

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F25%2F6359720843258957261905052654_635966735812425387-703017495_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=192&h=5351f898ebc837dc690208e589cdebaa79514d60d3f3d7039012a781206a61fb&size=980x&c=1634722284 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F25%252F6359720843258957261905052654_635966735812425387-703017495_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D192%26h%3D5351f898ebc837dc690208e589cdebaa79514d60d3f3d7039012a781206a61fb%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1634722284%22%7D" expand=1]

Being at college I have heard countless times that the "professors are here to help you." Reach out to them for help on things you don't get or for study suggestions. Just don't put balloons on their house, that might not be the best idea.

10. Test yourself on what you’ve studied.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F25%2F635972084326208257-1587360203_635966736154309093-1059711974_Woods-Bambi2.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=163&h=9e83bcf61415426fe1ca33b1fc2414562705eaecb8e12fbca24eeaf729d5f030&size=980x&c=2721409221 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F25%252F635972084326208257-1587360203_635966736154309093-1059711974_Woods-Bambi2.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D163%26h%3D9e83bcf61415426fe1ca33b1fc2414562705eaecb8e12fbca24eeaf729d5f030%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2721409221%22%7D" expand=1]

If you don't check what you've learned, you won't know if you fully understand it. Take online tests and quizzes and make a study guide. Take it from Bambi, he struggled with his first steps but after trying them out, he got the hang of it.

11. Make a playlist of your favorite songs.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F25%2F635972084326877560-1202844908_635966736353254213659848044_lilo-stitch---heartbreak-hotel-scene.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=208&h=88131dfa6674ba981f1bffc96cb3a52b959822c47daf9739776c2eb0a6c5a7e7&size=980x&c=278388745 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F25%252F635972084326877560-1202844908_635966736353254213659848044_lilo-stitch---heartbreak-hotel-scene.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D208%26h%3D88131dfa6674ba981f1bffc96cb3a52b959822c47daf9739776c2eb0a6c5a7e7%26size%3D980x%26c%3D278388745%22%7D" expand=1]

Studying can ultimately be super boring and stressful without some music playing through your headphones. I mean, look how calm Lilo looks.

12. Remember to take breaks.

Overdoing it won't help you or your grade. It's important to take short breaks, get something to eat, take a nap, or just sit back. This will give your fins a rest.

13. Use all the resources available to you.

College offers so many free tutoring services and books that can help you study. Make use of everything because you don't know when you will actually have to start paying for them.

14. Repeat and rewrite your notes
