I’m halfway through my first week of med school!! My apartment now looks like an actual home and I’m really glad.

how do you not adore a stormy sky?

there's something intensely poetic about the road in perspective. the fact that it doesn't lead straight to the horizon probably fascinates me most.

Study tip 5 - Use Blue pen instead of black. It helps you to remember things more.

🎶Chills - Why Don't We

So a lot of people feel like they have to make their notes pretty and use a lot of colour. You don't have to. I am not saying that you shouldn't but don't go overboard and waste your time. Just use one or two colours to colour code or highlight don't waste too much time. The one thing that really matters when writing your notes os that you can read and understand them. Some people even rewrite a page because they made a mistake. Don't do that just cut the mistake off with a pen or use a correction fluid or tape

Hi everyone! I would like to thank y’all for 2k followers now! It’s only been a few months but I’m already getting so much support for this studyblr. You guys are the best! As a gift for 2k, I’m writing this up after my own college finals experience. Hope this helps y’all out later, if not now!

Before finals

The most important to do before finals is get organized. The less organized I am, the more likely I am to panic because then I’ll forget that I don’t know some things or not review other things. I am a list-making maniac so my first instinct is to immediately write out a list of things to review, but in a structured form.

Flip through all your notes and old tests, finding concepts you struggled with and material that requires a lot of review.

Write down, in order of highest priority (this may be how much you remember the material, or how difficult the concept is), the broadest concepts you need to review. This may be a unit, a midterm, etc.

Write down the smaller topics under that concept you need to remember.

Under those smaller concepts, note the things you need to do to understand those topics more thoroughly, like doing worksheets or homework problems, or just going through your notes again. A snapshot of my review for my physics test is below if you’re confused.

After that, I write up reviews—you’ve probably seen them on my studyblr with my Stabilo highlighters– for important concepts and things I need to memorize. Rewriting things always helps me learn because it forces me to go over things again. If that doesn’t work you, you could try flashcards or something else that works for you, but make sure you’re actively learning rather than just passively looking at the material.

Do everything you said you’d do on the list, unless you are completely confident in your abilities to do something and need to focus time and energy on something else. Lots of points can be lost over silly mistakes or forgetting to read something, and nothing is more frustrating than coming out of a test knowing you missed something that you could have easily reviewed.

Start about a week or two ahead of time, especially if you’re not confident. Big tests require lots of preparation, and if it’s something memorization heavy like biology, you definitely need to start way before the test date. Try not to study for one test at a time, because if your schedule isn’t very spaced out (I have a friend who took one test every day for about four days straight), you need to time manage appropriately and start early. See my post “How to study for a test” under this if you’d like some tips with that.

So recently two of my besties have gotten stressed out about midterms and since they’re both serial procrastinators, their stress levels h

During finals week

The busiest time of the year on a college campus is finals week. Everyone rushes to the library to get some study time in, and it tends to be packed with people and smell very gross during this time. If you study best in a library, go there, but I tend to stay away from it during finals because it’s so crowded. It’s inevitable that you’ll be stressed out about finals, so here are some tips in case you find yourself caught up in stress:

Drink water or tea, not coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, but it does not calm your heart rate down. Drink decaf if you really crave the taste. Coffee will only make you more nervous, and if you’re particularly sensitive to caffeine like me, then it will make you bounce off the walls.

If you’re stressed and emotional, you will not be able to intake information as readily and quickly as if you are relaxed. Get at least six hours of sleep. (I know, that’s a stretch, but sleep deprivation doesn’t help when you have to cram.)

Try to eat semi-healthy. You won’t have time to exercise most likely (and if you do, you are a god in disguise), so try to stick to healthy foods. Then again, we all know we’ll end up eating a lot of chocolate and feeling really bad about ourselves.

Don’t study all the time. Take discrete breaks, but don’t get so distracted that you can’t get back to studying.

Pack everything you need the night before. I’m talking outfits, lunch, notes, anything and everything you will need so you don’t stress about getting up and ready in the morning. Finals only get worse when you realize you don’t have anything to wear.

Get. Enough. Sleep. I cannot stress this enough.

After a final

There’s nothing quite like the relief you feel after taking a big test. Even if you feel badly about how you did, the important thing is to get your mind off it and rest. My friend has this saying that your body can handle only one traumatic event a day. He’s completely right. Self-care differs for everyone, but here are some suggestions:

Take a shower. Scrub all that school dirt and grime off yourself and feel human again. Take a bath if you like them.

Eat some decent food. If you’re in college you’ll be craving some non-cafeteria goodness after your finals.

Distract yourself. Watch your TV show or a movie, read a little bit, online shop, watch Youtube (I know I do), and try to forget the test ever happened so you can move on.

Go to sleep. If your test was at 8 am, you’re going to want to sleep, and give in to that urge. Your body needs to recover from all that stress and adrenaline. Sleep, honestly, solves most of your problems.

I hope this helps y’all out during this hectic time!
