Preparing for exams can be hard, especially with online classes. It is super easy to quickly lose concentration while studying, and working with technology can sometimes become heavily distracting. Aside from the obvious tips people give such as sleeping and eating enough, there are more ways to ensure preparation for your classes. Here are 5 helpful tips on revising how you approach exams.

Clear Your Study Spot

The environment we study in is so essential and important to remaining focused when studying for classes. Make sure your study spot is comfortable, inviting and clean. A messy space is known to not be beneficial for focusing!


Plan Ahead

It is so beneficial to know how you are going to balance out your time throughout the day so all of the tasks you need to complete are finished. Having a planner and writing out a detailed schedule before your day begins will really help you out in the long run.


Shut Off Distractions

It is so easy to get lost on social media or answering texts and direct messages throughout the time you're supposed to be focusing. Putting your phone and apple watch away can help eliminate any possible tempting distractions while you're trying to study. Also, shutting off text notifications on your Mac can really become beneficial. If you have to use technology, like an iPad for studying, make sure to keep social media applications off of the device to help keep a steady focus.


Downtime = Success

If you are a perfectionist like me, it can be challenging some days to let yourself sit back and take a break. Giving yourself some extra time will greatly benefit you in the long run. It will be less mentally draining and you may even feel more energized after a much needed study break!


Keep Yourself Healthy

Sitting at a desk for hours upon hours, even with little breaks here and there can cause gravity to not push as much oxygen to your brain, adding to a stressful study session. During your breaks, make sure to move around a bit in order to keep blood flowing and your body well-energized and moving.

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.
