Because Finals

I'm writing this out of procrastination because I absolutely hate studying finals. Most of you probably have the same problem. I always get distracted and bored. I have found a few techniques that get me through studying and hopefully they do the same for you!

Usually I will gather my supplies first, like, study guides, pens, pencils, highlighters. The next thing to do is to find a comfy place to study. I don't particularly like to study at my desk because it's not that comfortable for long periods of time. So, I usually just gather my stuff and lay down on my bed. Once I have settled in I pull out my phone and turn up some music. I like to listen to 8tracks because I can find new music that fit my mood. I like to listen to tracks under study and motivation. Once I have my jams playing and everything I need to study I get to the actual studying. Flashcards are about the best way to go when you have to memorize stuff. I get so distracted and bored that I have to take frequent breaks. I like to take them about every 30 minutes. You may feel the urge to grab those cookies or chips when studying, but if you get something healthier like berries and yogurt it will keep you going longer. When you wake up in the morning from studying all night make sure you eat breakfast. You will feel energized and be ready to take the finals! 

Stop procrastinating and get to it!
