10. Take advantage of study groups

“Study groups are the best way because you reinforce concepts in your head and you learn ideas that you missed in class,” Shawn Williams-Wynce, a political science and anthropology major, said.

9. Use your downtime between classes for homework

“I have a lot of breaks throughout the day. They help me get everything done,” first-year Meleah Chriss said.

8. Get away from your dorm room

“I like to go to the library. When I have my computer in front of me, I just mess around,” Alexandra Aswad said.

7. Make sure to sleep

“I take naps. It is really important to replenish my energy. It is my way of doing it,” Hiep Doan, a third-year biochemistry major, said.

6. Take time to relax

“If you need to study, you should put in the same amount of hours doing something fun. That way you keep your sanity,” said Steven Strong, a second-year pre-med major.

5. Focus on the future

“Think about fall break. My mom is coming in from Nigeria, so I am using that to get me through,” second-year Segi Latinwo said.

4. Become best friends with caffeine

“I have one Monster energy drink with me at all times. I also take 20-minute power naps if I start to feel groggy, and the combination of the two makes for a great day,” Philosophy Major Chase Higgs said.

3. Get it done

“The key for me is to not procrastinate,” senior Laura Wenglikowski said.

2.Reward yourself

“Eat a brownie sundae after every midterm,” political science and business management major Suzy Maracine said.

1. Just study

“Don’t sleep. Don’t eat. Just study. Don’t think about it. Also it helps to throw darts at pictures of your teachers’ heads,” Raqketa Williams, a first-year pre-med, psychology and ethnic studies major, said. “I am just kidding about the darts. But really just study. It is not a big deal.”
