Is anyone else totally fed up with English? I’m currently working on an assignment that requires a 10-minute presentation, and I can’t help but vent about how much I dislike English class. It’s just so frustrating!
In celebration of π Day, my school allowed 8 students to “pie” a teacher of their choice. Here’s my friend delivering the pie to my English teacher!
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!
