University Truth # 241: At this very moment you are procrastinating.
Hi again. I know I have been gone for a while and though I would like to say that while away I have been doing a variety of exciting things that would be a lie. In reality, most of the time I am looking the scene pictured above. It is midterm season and, with a midterm or project (or both) due every week, I have been studying. My schedule does look a little lighter for the next few weeks so I do hope to get back into blogging.
A few things that have been keeping me sane while studying:
- Music - I have a playlist called "Studying" to help keep me focused as well as to drown out background noise. It mostly consists of soft music with the odd fast-paced song to wake me up a bit.
- Snacks - I keep nuts like almonds and pistachios on hand because they are good brain food and keep me going for a while. Dark chocolate is also a must.
- Colorful highlighters and pens - Certain colors will help me highlight certain kinds of information: purple is definitions; green is formulas; and it continues on in a similar fashion. Bonus, it makes my notes look pretty and organized which helps when I am reviewing them later.
