Happy Wednesday, and last day of reading period! Now that formals season is basically over, maybe it’s a good time to begin studying for that final you have in two days! Here are some great study tips that we bet you won’t take:
- Stop using Facebook. Seriously.
- Avoid Buzzfeed at all costs.
- And no YouTube either.
- Or Netflix. Stay far, far away.
- Maybe you should just stop using the Internet altogether.
- And also leave your phone behind so you won’t get distracted by push notifications, Snapchats, Instagram, etc. And also so you don’t get distracted texting other people.
- And don’t talk to other human beings in real life either, because that’s also pretty distracting.
- You know what? Nevermind. You’ll do great no matter what. Happy studying, and good luck!
