Surviving Finals

Hey there you guys,

Okay, so this past January, I started my first semester of college, and now I am enduring finals week. I am not going to lie; finals are super stressful has for some; it's the last resort to bring up our grade. *That may or may not pertain to me. There's just this one class ... but I'm not going to get into that.*

So, after all the finals I took in high school and the few that I have taken in college, I can up with some tips to help you survive those finals.

Visit your teachers during their office hours.

I am sure every college professor has office hours, and if yours does, go to their office to ask them some questions you might have. Not only will you get some of your questions answered, but visiting them shows initiative, and they will remember that.

Study Groups 

Organize a study group with some of the people in your class. Everybody understands things differently, so if you all come together and discuss specific trouble topics in your studies, you are all bound to find the correct answer. 

Go to the Library 

If you are looking for a quiet place to study, then try the Library. This past weekend I went to the Library and spent about four hours just learning and getting work done. It was great because there was no noise or distractions or anything. 

Put the phone away and hit the books. 

Along with distractions, get rid of all electronics and maybe even step away from your friends for a while. If I have my phone near me, I am always tempted to go on it, so I turn my phone off and keep it in my bookbag. Also, if I am not studying in a study group, I usually study alone because people can distract me, especially my best friends. Tell them you need some time to research, and you will call them later. 

 

Go to tutoring sessions. 

If your school has a tutoring service, then check it out. It is okay to admit you need help, and most tutors are usually friendly and are willing to work with you. Also, usually, these tutors are previous students who already took the class, so you can be a little more informal if teachers scare you. 

Don't forget to celebrate. 

The picture above says it all.

Note: This waffle was too sweet, and I only ate 1/4 of it.
