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" !

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
