T-minus one week until dreaded midterms creep upon us.\u00a0 The stress lurks upon us in the air as we all struggle to prepare.\u00a0 Midterms don\u2019t always have to be stressful if time is alluded properly, which is something many struggle with.\u00a0 Teaching ourselves how to balance self-care and midterm prep can help make this dreaded time worthwhile and help us in the future.\u00a0 Here are some hopefully helpful tips on how to tackle midterms.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Starting with the obvious, plan out your time.\u00a0 Starting now, you could add a small amount of studying each night to your homework.\u00a0 Plan for when you have other exams or quizzes so you are sure you will have the appropriate amount of time.\u00a0 Doing thirty minutes to an hour of studying each night will help refresh your brain to prevent cramming.\u00a0 This way you will be able to recall information easier for your midterm.\u00a0 This same technique is also useful for papers that are a pain to write.\u00a0 Creating a word bank of vocabulary terms after each lecture can help you focus on the important terms and definitions you need to know.\u00a0 This will make it easier for midterms as well, since you will know what you need to focus on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Teachers are the best resource when you are confused.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be scared to contact your professors when you need it the most.\u00a0 It might feel intimidating, or that they will deflect your request for help, but a good professor will always meet with their students.\u00a0 Student tutoring is a great recourse as well.\u00a0 Fellow students that have had your same professor can give you tips for their tests and how to study in the future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gather a group of fellow classmates to go to the library to study.\u00a0 Find ways to make studying fun!\u00a0 This will encourage you and your peers to study more.\u00a0 Something as simple as playing hangman using vocabulary definitions.\u00a0 Whoever gets the word, must say the definition.\u00a0 Then, they will choose the nest word.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Make sure to take care of yourself during midterm week.\u00a0 Celebrate your accomplishments and how you got there.\u00a0 Putting in the effort can be difficult sometimes, so be forgiving when needed.\u00a0 Making sure you cut off studying at a certain time to allow for sleep can encourage healthy study habits.\u00a0 At the end of the day, make sure you put yourself first and reward yourself with your favorite treat!\u00a0 Good luck to all during this stressful time!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Mia Shelton T-minus one week until dreaded midterms creep upon us.\u00a0 The stress lurks upon us in the
