is this age gap weird??

A Little Rant About My Spanish Class As a freshman, I’ve taken Spanish for the past two terms: Spanish 1 last semester and currently Spanish 2. In Spanish 1, I had an amazing teacher who made learning enjoyable, but she unfortunately had to go on maternity leave. Thankfully, the substitute was great too, and I […]
Grade Reduction Frustration I’m really frustrated after my sociology teacher decided to lower my report card grade by two points because of my handwriting, even though it wasn’t a part of the grading criteria and other students weren’t penalized for theirs. I even asked her before the exam if handwriting would be a factor, and […]
Survival strategy for finals week:
Create a Study Schedule: Break down your study material into manageable chunks and allocate specific times to study each topic. Stick to your schedule as closely as possible.
Prioritize Topics: Identify which subjects or topics you find most challenging and prioritize those. Focus on high-impact areas that are likely to appear on the exam.
Practice Active Learning: Engage with the material through methods like summarizing notes, teaching concepts to someone else, or doing practice problems.
Stay Organized: Keep all your study materials in one place. Use folders, binders, or digital organization tools to help you find what you need quickly.
Take Breaks: Don’t forget to take regular breaks to recharge your mind. Follow the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break) to maintain productivity.
Get Plenty of Rest: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Your brain needs rest to consolidate information and function optimally.
Eat Well and Stay Hydrated: Fuel your body with nutritious meals and stay hydrated. Avoid excessive caffeine and junk food, which can lead to energy crashes.
Limit Distractions: Create a study environment that minimizes distractions. Turn off notifications on your devices and consider using apps that block distracting websites.
Stay Positive: Keep a positive mindset. Use affirmations or visualize your success to combat stress and anxiety.
Reach Out for Help: If you’re struggling with a concept, don’t hesitate to reach out to classmates, tutors, or professors for help.
Remember, finals week is just a moment in time – take care of yourself, and you’ll get through it! Good luck!
