Study Tips for Finals Week
Study every day. Make it more fun by alternating subjects.
If you need motivation, set small rewards for
yourself– a walk around the block or a quick
dance break.
Eat Healthy. Be careful not to add in lots of
sugar or salty snacks. They’ll just make you
tired.
Get some sleep. Being tired makes you forgetful. You’ve worked hard all semester– you can
do it!
