Week 11

Wait a minute... Week 11 ? What is he talking about it is week 49 and maybe it is for most people, but if you are a Berkeley Student this is week 11 (Week 11 = Week before finals). The holidays are not far away and it always seems harder to find motivation at the end of the quarter.

Some tips to get more motivation and make sure you will not have anxiety on your finals:

• Start to prepare yourself for your final at least 7 days before your final ( I know it might seem like a long time before your final, but if you just read your notes ones a week before you will feel more prepared when you start to "cram") 
• Study at the Library and try to study at different places (It is always good to be in an environment  where you can focus)
• Go to the Academic Support Center (13th Floor 41 Street Building). They can help you to study and to prepare you for your finals.
• Do not give up and try to decide for how many hours that you are going to spend studying for each exam
• Have fun - try to make it as fun as possible
• Rewards - Give yourself rewards for each task you complete or if you study on an exam for a couple of ours. 
• Take study brakes!! Cramming for a couple of hours without brakes will not do you any good. Take a walk, buy a soda and to not skip any meals.

Good Luck with your exams and I hope that you will be a part of the A-team.
