EDITOR'S NOTE
After finally learning how to study college is coming to a smooth end
I have never been good at studying. What I am skilled at is making excuses. I tell myself that I take good notes throughout the semester or that I have a adequate memory. It's as if those reasons let me off the hook from ever reviewing those notes or trying to remember the lectures.
Then finals roll around — and I have no more excuses. Without fail, this always leads to a rather ugly breakdown.
"Why didn't I care about this more throughout the year?" I wonder.
(By the way, the answer is The Kansan. It's all consuming.)
Then, I spend one glorious weekend poring back through my books and trying to decipher my notes. My friends tell me about this event called "Stop Day Eve," during which they go out and have fun. It's a foreign concept to me.
However, because I've made it this far in college, I suppose it's at least a semi-effective system. However, it's not a process that I would suggest.
That's why I made a point of turning things around this year. I studied. I kept up with my readings. In more appropriate terms: I gave it the good ol' college try.
Now, I'm sitting pretty. It's an incredible, unstressed feeling that I haven't felt in years.
Not to rub it in or anything.
The real point I'm making is that I will be taking advantage of this entire section during finals week. With puzzles, cartoons and coloring pages, it's like a college student's dream — or a Kindergartner's.
Same thing, right?
