Finals

Finals,

For me finals are HELL, because I stress like crazy and have anxiety attacks. Another problem is I fall asleep while studying, Daydream, and just plain out fail to stay focused.

So I'm trying out some methods that will help relieve my stress and keep me focused!



Location:

When your studying you want to be in a location where your comfortable so here are some location tips:

• Study in an area where there is alot of room so you can spread things out
• Make sure there is bright lighting [not to bright] so that you wont get sleepy. No dim romantic lights <3>
• Make sure that there isn't that many distractions, but don't study in an absurdly quiet place.
• Make sure there is people around that wont distract you, but will encourage your smartness, or admire it. Show off a little (:
• Good room temperature!
  

Time:

Expand your studying time into many days. Do NOT study at the last minute, you'll find yourself worrying alot more. So begin studying 3 days before your final. Separate your studying material into 2 or 3 sections.



Day 1: study for 2 hours a section of your material on one subject.
Then give your self an hour break [eat or go walk out side, don't begin to watch T.V. or go on the Internet (unless its for studying reasons, but I suggest you refrain from it even if you need to use the computer, print out what you need and that's it.) this will most likely cause laziness/procrastination or you can lose track of time.
Once your hour break is done come back to your study area and begin studying the next subject.

Day 2: same thing

Day3: Study all the sections together with NO breaks until the next subject!



Foods to avoid during finals:

• Hot Tea ,Coffee, and Cocoa


• Junk foods and fast foods [no IN-N-OUT!]


• egg yolks


• Butter, Cheese, Shrimp, and Meat


• Nuts [cashews, almonds etc.]


• Sodas, chocolate drinks and hot drinks


• Sugar

Instead replace the banned fatty food with some healthy food choices that keep you awake and focused (they also help relieve stress too!):

• Home made Fruit Smoothies-Ingredients: milk, ice, fruit of your choice, and honey[instead of sugar] it will make you feel fresh and rejuvenated!


• Fresh Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, plums, and tomatoes.


• Avocados!♥


• California Rolls [sushi]


• Lots of Water and Iced Tea

Make it Fun:

• Use cool color highlighters and pens to note important things
• wear glasses to make you look smarter!
• make flashcards with cool designs to help you remember
• take a sketchpad to draw out some descriptions or help you remember something.

Song of the day:

Bathwater-No Doubt

Verse of the Day: Psalm 147:13,14

One of my very good friends told me something that was a obstacle in his path and I believe that this person truly has a BIG purpose in life and will someday change the world. If you stay in Gods path he will reward you, but that means we are going to have to be tested, to see if we can truly hold on. God looks at you and sees your potential. You should be able to look at yourself and see it too.

GOD BLESS and goodnight (:
