Find some time to relax

One things to remember while studying for finals is it find times to take a break and get your mind of material. For me going to the beach with a couple dogs is a solid way to clear my mind so I can focus up. The typical routine I go by is 45 minutes on 15 minutes off. Study for 45 minutes straight then take a little 15 minute break. It's helpful for staying sharp and not getting overworked. Overall, don't allow yourself to become to stressed because then you'll just start forgetting things you know. Best of luck this week folks.

Finals grind

Obviously everyone is a little stressed out with finals coming up. One thing I've found that helps me is studying in a group as opposed to by yourself a focused group is often more helpful than watching 100 khan academy videos on your own. Usually it's a group of 2-3 that i work with to get things done. The benefit is that if one person doesn't know the answer to a question pertaining to specific material, another person will. This advice is coming a little late but find study buddies right at the beginning of the semester. It makes schoolwork infinitely more bearable and often easier. Best of luck compadres. Hopefully you don't need to memorize tables like this
