is the season of finals. The
bags under the eyes, cram-
ming and anxiety can all be
tamed with these useful study tips.
Everyone has a different learning
style, and figuring out what study
habits best complement you is cru-
cial, according to academictips.org.
Pay attention to what time of the day
you are most alert, what foods make
you most sleepy and what type of en-
vironment helps keep you focused.
Communication design junior Da-
vid Schmid has maintained a 3.0 GPA
and credits his success to finding the
right habits.
"You have to find the right white
noise," Schmid said. "Find whatever
helps keep you focused while you
study. I like playing relaxing music."
Here's a list of more tips from to-
puniversities.com and The New York
Times:
• Understand the material in your
own words: Don't rely on memoriza-
tion. You should be able to break down
the concept to where you can effec-
tively explain it to others.
• Change study spaces: According
to cognitive scientists, switching up
where you study helps you retain infor-
mation better because memory is tied
to location.
• Switch up what you study: Don't
study a single subject for hours. Scien-
tists have found that method to be inef-
fective and suggest switching it up.
• Schedule study time in advance:
Don't leave things for the last minute.
• Organize study area: Make sure
you have ample room to spread out your
books and notes. Clutter can be
distracting.
•Use charts and diagrams: Write
down everything that you know and
then condense your notes into dia-
grams.
• Take breaks: Getting away from
your studies for regular pauses helps
you retain information.
• Eat healthy: Junk food takes
away energy. Nuts, fish, yogurt and
seeds are better alternatives as these
selections are known to help with
concentration and memory.
Journalism junior Thalia Brionez
has her own methods for maintaining
her 3.5 GPA.
"I make notecards even if I already
have my notes in my laptop," she said.
"It helps me remember everything bet-
ter."
Art history sophomore Ashley Poling
shares similar techniques to maintain
her 3.4 GPA.
"I always write things out. I'm more of
a pencil-and-paper person," Poling said.
"If I write it enough, it gets embedded
into my brain."
Chemistry freshman Vincent Nguyen,
who has a 3.5 GPA, recommends that
students be thorough.
"I literally re-read over everything ~
lecture notes and chapter summaries.
I also do all the assigned homework as
well as the textbook exercises at the end
of each chapter," Nguyen said.

shops every semester that range from re-
