The last few days of the semester are approaching, and I bet you are experiencing a lot of pressure, anxiety, sleepiness and debating whether or not you are going to just drop out of school and become a stripper because that'd be easier … just me?
Well, here are some very simple little tips to keep in mind while preparing for finals week!
- Create your own study plan. This will help you stay on top of things and not miss a study step.
- It is just like any other test; try your hardest.
- Don’t do Adderall (on purpose) just stay well rested; naps are your friend!
- Take breaks every hour to clear your mind and de-stress!
- When going over your material, make sure you clear your mind before starting!
- Ask your professors and TAs questions regarding the material on the exam.
- Eat healthy snacks to fuel your body and mind.
- Take a walk around the block or hit the gym to clear your mind and get your blood rushing again.
- Drink lots of water!
- Alternate where you study
- Teach somebody the material, or just call your father and make him listen!
- Quiz yourself constantly. I usually try to go over things at least seven different times in order to make sure I memorize it.
- After reviewing a few pages, visualize what you just read.
Yes, it may be a nice day out, but there will be many more. You only have this one chance to pass this class! Just think, a year from now you are going to wish you started studying now and didn’t waste time.
Also, think like a proton; be positive! Good luck on finals! Don't let them win; you can do it!
