5 Tips To Help You Memorize Answers For Finals Week

Whether its a cumulative exam, or everything after the midterm-- You need to get the stuff in your brain by tomorrow.

1. Flashcards

Just like in elementary school, we're bringing out the old flashcards. Putting key information on flashcards and reviewing them will make sure you're studying relevant and important information. Use the front and the back, and have a friend test you on it.

2. Repetition

There's a rumor that if you repeat something seven times in a row, you will remember it. Its worth a try! Also, I find that reviewing right before bed and after waking up is a refresher that is bound to stay in your mind.

3. Voice recordings

As mentioned about if you hear it constantly it will begin to stick. Put your voice recording app to use and record all of the valuable material that you will need to know for the exam. Then, listen to it throughout the school day until you're repeating the answers.

4. Make charts/Visuals

There are visual learners in this world. If you are one then make a chart or a visual that will aid you in preparing for finals. Relevant information only !

5. Summarize and re-teach

If you can learn something and teach it, you know it ! Summarizing and helping someone else understand your assignment can really help you to remember or keep in mind the information that you need to know. During finals week I wouldn't suggest asking a friend because they may genuinely be confused and may have follow up questions--there's no time for that. We have a final to worry about ! Just pretend someone is there and that you need to teach them what it is that you are working on.


And when you're done all of this-- out loud yell " Taa Dahh" !

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
