motivation for finals, anyone?

I know it can seem super tough to get motivated for crap you don't give a rip about. Just think that your grade is on the line. It would be detrimental to your GPA if you don't perform well.

Just use summer as your reward.

If you feel like you're stressed, do something to get yourself unstressed like going outside and being active or watching movies or playing a game with someone or sleeping. It's no use studying when you feel like you're going crazy; you won't retain much information.

Study in chunks. For example, read through one page of notes and go off and do something for five minutes and come back and read through more pages. Study during commercial breaks on tv. Reward yourself for studying.

Colleges look at your high school grades to see how good of a student you are. It shows how hard of a worker you are. You want to finish as strong as you started. Don't get burned out. Don't give up at the end. Employers want people who work hard up until the end. It shows good character.

Get a start now on studying. Decide which final you are more worried about and study for that before you study for the other. Or if it makes you feel better and more accomplished, study the one you're more comfortable with. DO NOT study for both at the same time. If you feel they'll be of equal difficulty, study for the one you have first tomorrow.

Just remember that you'll never regret doing your best and working hard. And think, two more finals and you're done! You're free! Not having to look at that stuff until September (or hopefully never again).

Good luck! Stay hydrated! Go for a run! Keep a positive attitude (or just say "Screw it! Summer's practically here!)
