With the first half of
finals over, our sisters wanted to share some of our advice for your studying
this weekend! Good luck on finals and Happy Holidays!
Make
sure to pace yourself and your studying, it is lots of go over so take it in
chunks and find time to take breaks for yourself too, some of my best memories
with friends have been during finals week because we are all working so hard
together.
– Nikki, Senior
Get
your sleep. your brain wont be much use unless it is rested. Plus giving
yourself adequate sleep time can help with your stress levels.
- Kacey, Junior
I
make cookies on my last day of "freedom" so that I have something
sweet to grab when I need a pick-me up. Plus I like baking and it relieves some
stress beforehand. :)
– Elizabeth, Junior
As
cliche [and possibly unlikely] as it is, START EARLY! I am notorious for
waiting until the night before & stressing myself out - don't do that!.

Don't
forget to sleep! As much as you want to stay up all night to review your
calculus notes, it is so much better to sleep and wake up refreshed and ready
to continue studying.
– Amber, Sophomore
Turn
off social media and use paper instead of a computer whenever possible.
–Jacque, Junior
Make
sure to take time for yourself. Work out, relax, etc.
– Sara, Sophomore
Relax.
Don't get worked up about it. Finals are a big deal, but in the scheme of
things, they're just mere tests! Do the best you can, put some hard work into
studying, but don't be too hard on yourself! It will all turn out great :)

When
you are about to take a final have confidence in yourself that you studied as
hard as you could and that you are going to rock it!
-Jen, Sophomore
Get
out of your room/house/apartment and study somewhere else! I have realized
there are too many distractions at my apartment and if I am in my room my bed
just calls my name!
– Sarah, Junior
Have a clean area at your desk. Or one of the things I really love to do, even
when it's not finals season is to always make my bed! Studying at my desk or
coming home from the library it's visually pleasing and makes it seem you still
have one part of your life in order! It's always great feeling to crawl into a
made bed at the end of the day!!
– Kelly, Junior
Use
a planner & manage your time well to budget your time and to make sure
you're giving plenty of study time to each class as needed! Plan your studying
schedule out well in advance.
