Speaks Out: Midterm studying strategies


 Florante Sarmiento
Fourth-year, political science
“I’m a big procrastinator, so I work as soon as possible in small increments, so when it comes down to crunch time I don’t have so much to do …”
 Osariemen Ogiamien
Second-year, biology
“I like studying in Young Research Library. Whenever I need to take a study break, I either take a nap or I shop online.”
 Jack Yang
Fourth-year, psychobiology
“I go to the library, and I try to space out my studying and not cram. I start probably two weeks in advance because you can’t just learn everything the day before.”
 Vivek Rajarathnam
Second-year, undeclared
“I like to plan ahead and set up a
schedule for studying and make sure I get enough rest. If I don’t know something I’ll get help from either my friends or my TA.”
 Samantha Iwuagwu
Second-year, nursing
“I study in Young Research Library, and I pull all-nighters when necessary, but I try not to because sleep is important and I
definitely take naps. And candy is definitely
necessary.”
 Naomi Steinhagen
First-year, undeclared
“There’s an application you can download on your computer called SelfControl, and you add all the websites you don’t want to go on. It works so well!”
