Learn how to get over the line during the finals week



Going to college is a bummer. Nobody would really want to go far away from home, leaving everything behind for four glorious years of their lives if they weren’t forced to do so. It’s the sad story and fate of students that they have to live and not complain about. In the long run, yes, they do get benefited, but really they can’t see that when the sun is shining brightly and they have to make their way from the hostels to the campus with the sweat drenching their shirts as if they just took a dive in the Pacific. Tragic talk this might be, but it’s true and you need to be on your toes at all times if you intend to get through college in one piece and in the prescribed time duration. Tests, assignments, reports, sessional and what not really suck out all the juice from the marrow of a student. What we have waiting for us at the end of the semester is the most difficult part; like that big monster that comes at the end of the Mario game, it really is threatening from the day 1 and you fear facing it and even though you fear facing it you don’t really do the homework necessary to defeat it. Yes, the finals are under discussion here and really the most demented part of the semester they are. If you haven’t been preparing from the first day then you are in for a real test, all puns intended. There are certain tips though that can really help you a lot when it comes to taking that all important exam at the end of the year where everybody get their beards long and makeups washed away. Read on to know some of them:

i)                    Start preparing before it’s too late. A lot of students take it very lightly and start doing the preparation when the time has long left their side and it becomes really difficult for them to then get on pace.
ii)                   College courses are not easy and you need to take them very seriously. As there are going to be more than one subject, make sure that you divide your time accordingly and pay attention to everything.
iii)                 Whilst doing the paper, learn how to manage your time. This could be the key as often students fail because of not being able to manage their time.
