Study Tip & Joke
-Tip: As anyone who’s ever relied on Rihanna to make it through an allnight study session knows, music can help beat stress. And while everyone’s got a different tune preference, classical music in particular has been shown to reduce anxiety and tension. So give those biology notes a soundtrack and feel at least some of the stress slide away.
-Joke: Are you a 90 degree angle? 'Cause you are looking right
