Make studying better: Study outside

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

It just so happens to get gorgeous as soon as finals week starts, awesome (note the sarcasm). So instead of being stuck inside a poorly ventilated building, looking outside wishing you were there – GO THERE! Tuesday we are supposed to be at a high of 91 and it is going to rain the rest of the week. So charge up your laptop, grab a blanket and go outside for a little bit. 

Nicole Lumbreras is a junior at University of Iowa, class of 2012, studying Journalism and Sociology. Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Nicole loves to explore new restaurants, see live music and attend sporting events. Nicole loves to travel, dance, write in her blog and takes pleasure in the art of photography. Nicole loves to spend time with her friends and family, and when time allows she will get her fill of Bad Girls Club, Glee, So You Think You Can Dance, and Grey's Anatomy. Nicole recently got foot surgery and rediscovered running; her goal is to run a half marathon before she is 25. After college she plans to move into the city (Chicago) with a American bulldog, attend graduate school at night and hopefully write for Chicago Magazine or another fun and upcoming project.
