Final Exam Week: Students to Students Advice and Options

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

I'm actually able to make a whole video because current students fall 2019 and spring 2020 Actually answered one of my polls on Facebook and Snapshot, giving me a bunch of study options and tips and places to go all over campus to help students with Finals Exams Week. So here I am, making the whole video out of it, full of advice for you guys. We're the first steps I got was from a current student named Rachel. She said her best idea and weigh about studying for finals is actually dedicating certain time blocks and getting together with friends in a room, apartment or residence hall room, depending on where you live or where you want to go on campus or off campus and study. She said, to dedicate at least 15 30 45 minutes to studying straight and then take a 5 to 15 minute break with your friends, chitchat kind of de stress for a second and then jump back into things on. I think that's a really good tip to start out with. So one anonymous student actually recommended to set up a comfy space, but they were able to focus. Do not sit in studying your bed or sit on your couch a bunch of pillows and blankets. We're gonna take a nap and fall asleep and get distracted watching TV or other things we know Netflix dizzy. Plus who? Lou? They're all really bad addiction that college students have, but we want to put that to the side and focus on our studying. So get yourself comfortable and focused, but not in a way that's gonna get you distracted. That was their biggest tip is to avoid those little distractions that you don't realize until you're trying to study and don't get anything done. Another piece of advice came from current student ELISA, and her suggestion was to actually get out of your residents whole room and whatever residence Hall you live in here on campus as a first year student and actually go use the study lounge is whether your insults or the other seven residence halls it's actually good on the hallways and use those dedicated rooms for studying because a 24 hour quiet hours during finals week that's a great space to be able to get out of your room and leave that distraction we talked about earlier of your bed behind you and you don't get distracted by the things in your desk and clothes in your closet. All the stuff you could be doing in your room laundry and just go down to the study lounge and get your work done on. That's a really good option, in good advice as well. Similar options off Studying that kind of have to do with each other is one the Fireside Lounge in the downstairs of Care Union. So there's not only a computer lab where you can go in and print things off. There's also a really awesome, cute and cozy fireplace right outside with a bunch of couches and tables for you to sit and focus. It's a really good place to go to get out of your apartment, away from your roommates on your friends and your residence hall. The Fireside Lounge is a really good place to go outside of your residence hall or your apartment. Then you also have Husky Lounge upstairs to go get some food and kind of take a study break, which is a really good piece of advice for me to throw in. Do what you gotta do to just kind of like a refreshing reset yourself. Don't sit there for four hours straight doing work. It's not really healthy for anybody to be able to learn anything in that type of sitting and just doing everything at once type thing. It's in the downstairs of the student server center below, kind of like the main entrance that faces the quad. If you go down the steps, it's underneath, back there underneath the steps, and in there there's a full computer lab where each person has their little cubicle. You can kind of lay out your books, type on the computer. There's a printer in there as well, and once again you have Java City right outside the doors. You can take a walk outside, take a walk around SSC or the quad to kind of like regroup and go back to work. You also have room goes ran upstairs to grab food as well. So those were two really great options that many students actually suggested and voted for my poles as well. Now the final option that had, like the most votes and most suggestions by far was the library. One of them being Starbuck's, is right there to get some coffee and get some snacks, which once again, is really important for you. Get that kind of fuel that you need to get your studying done. Then also because people said their cubicles everywhere there, there's one for pretty much everybody on. Whatever you gotta do, you can sit there, sprawl out and just be in your own little space and focus, which are my all time favorite thing when it comes like sitting and having to fill out study guide Gourmet cuisine. Especially you get distracted super easily, and then you can kind of choose your noise level. Or you can sit with friends at tables and there's tons more options we're gonna We're gonna check out through some little video clips here in a second. The group study rooms with the large tables and chairs TV's that put up presentations plenty of desktops all over the place, in cubicles, group study rooms and for individual work with chairs and plenty of spaces for soon's to go sprawl out and get work done, whether it's working together are working on their own, and especially to sit there with your coffee from Starbucks. From downstairs, there are four floors, and the farther up you go, the quieter it gets so you can choose your style to get things done for finals week. I have absolutely no doubt that the printers and computers come to great use after all the work you're putting in all week, and I have no doubt that all you Huskies were going to do great.
