Back In Action

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.

CHRISTMAS AND FINALS?!

Hello Everyone, Well Christmas is JUST around the corner :)...unfortunately so are finals :9 NEXT WEEK ACTUALLY!!! and if any of you are like me then you haven't really begun studying yet lol. Today is Friday and my lack of studying is beginning to catch up SO i decided to give some GOOD study habits that IF you can follow you should be good to go. So here we go

1. Find a quiet spot where you will not be bothered. The ACC library is best for me, If i stay home I get distracted by the tv, computer, xbox...things like that.

2. Drink a cup of coffee or a coke or a monster SOMETHING that will keep you awake. IDK about you but as soon as I look at my books i get sleepy and want to take a nap lol.

3. Go to the bathroom, if you suddenly have to go right as you study you are gonna forget everything you just read or did.

4. Set a timed schedule, you need breaks from studying but not too many. a 5 min break every 15-30 mins should be alright.

5. SIT DOWN AND GET BUSY!!! Some classes will have tests over everything you have learned over the semester but you should probably focus the majority of your time on the last few chapters you just went over. That is where you teacher will get 60% if not more of your test questions.

6. Be like me and realize Christmas is awesome and that decorating and eating cookies be more fun that studying lol (Don't Do This)

Well that is a few tips, Hope they help, im gonna go make cookies now lol

(The Student Ambassadors is NO WAY support procrastination)

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!
