Finals
A big thing that has been on my mind lately has been finals, how they work, how hard they are, and what I need to study for these said finals. Here at school you go to class all semester to try to do the best you can on all your finals. The down side of these tests is that it is impossible to know what to focus on. People can say to study everything from the semester, but then you spend the last couple of weeks stressing about doing this because you are trying to relearn everything from all your classes. This takes much effort and a lot of the time that is valued so much in college. I think I may have come up with some solutions to this predicament. One way to beat this is to try to find a study partner, if they are in the same class then that is great because then they are worrying about the same things. The big thing about this would be to make sure that you are focusing instead of just talking about whatever comes up. Another way to beat the stress is during the year take good notes, and look over those notes regularly. If you do this then you are actually studying all semester instead of trying to cram everything in at the last minute. Also in this way when it comes to that final studying time then it is more refreshing rather then relearning the material. Another way to beat the final stress is to go see the TA's if they have a review session the that is great, usually they have bee able to look at past tests and they know what you will be tested on. Also they usually have taken the class before so they know what to expect on the final so look to them for advice on what to do. As for myself I am going to do all of these and hey maybe ill do great on all my tests this semester.
