Finals. That one word creates a sense of fear in any college student twice a year. This one test can make or break your grade and the only thing that you can do about it is study. So why do professors put college student through this miserable time in our lives. Personally, I think it is because they really like to see who makes it at the end. It is like the Hunger Games of college. So what do I think after 8 finals weeks is the most important thing to do when you have to sit down and have to study 12 chapters of health care management?
Snacks:
You need to make sure that you are eating. When your parents remind you to eat before an exam they are actually telling you the right thing. Just coffee alone is not going to keep your body going (although I am not saying that it does not help) but you need some sort of substance in your body to keep you going or else you are going to crash or your stomach is going to make a lot of noise to in a really quiet area.
Find a quiet place to study:
There are going to be people on campus celebrating the fact that is their last week on campus or the library is going to be over run with people who only go during finals week so find a place that you are not going to be distracted.
A good playlist:
Studying can be boring. So why not spice up your studying with some music. My sophomore year science project in high school was even on studying with music on vs. studying without music and the studying with music had higher testing rates and you can't argue with science.
And remember may the curve be ever in your favor. Happy Finals Week
