Hello there fellow ACC students. If your anything like me your probably reading this because you don't want to do school work or study for an upcoming test like you should be. So here are a few words of advice from a guy who knows how to procrastinate and how to escape it.
1 You have to find a place away from everything that is considered entertainment to you.
ex: televisions, radios, music of any kind, xbox, PS3, FACEBOOK!!!
All of these things (except ps3) prevent me from opening my book and reading the chapters that i know i need to. I prefer the library to study, there are other people studying which makes me want to fit in and do the same. Plus there is always some cute girl up there that will see you studying and think your smart...hehe
2. Take your time. The more time you give yourself before the upcoming test, the more time you have to take breaks and prevent the dreaded cram session. You NEED breaks so it is ok to read for 10-15 mins then take a 2 min break. I prefer to studying for a good 20-30 mins then take a 15 min break. Yes i may be at the library for a couple hours but when it comes to test day i get out an extra 45 - 60 mins early.
3. Find study buddies. Studying alone is BORING and its not as easy to ask yourself questions and then answer them with out "accidentally" looking lol. Find someone in your class and befriend them and see if they would like to study with you some time. When someone asks you to study with them its pretty hard to say no with out sounding rude lol. Ask and ye shall receive.
4. Before you go to bed, after dinner or after your favorite TV show, read or even re-read a little. Only about 10 mins or so, nothing too bad.
Hope this helps all who actually read it. And if you need help studying feel free to ask me or any member or your class.
Good luck with your classes and your year. Aim for that 4.0 gpa.
