Sociology quiz on Monday, Nursing on Wednesday, History of Cinema test on Friday Nursing exam next week. All work and so much stress. It seems like the college life can’t get harder. Here are a least ten ways to help making studying if it’s for an everyday exam to the harder ones like midterms and finals.

  • Study a bit everyday or every other day at least

• Set study goals

  • Big or small setting goals is a good way to feel good about yourself and make studying not seem like a hassle.

  • Breaks like one hour on 10 min of is another option.

• Plan the time to study

  • Make some time in your schedule or even in your commute (if you aren’t the one physically getting yourself to school) to look over your notes and textbooks. Sometimes it’ll be hard wanting to hang out with friends instead of studying but if you got some awesome friends they’ll understand. Some may even offer to help.

  • Try and write little encouragements here and there

  • Treat yourself with little incentives when studying. For example when you’re finished for the night and you feel you as if you 

• Study groups

  • Get some friends or close classmates together. For some people it’s easier to work with people that are in the class with them or sometimes an old friend who took the class prior or understands the class can help
