Juggling College
While students are attending college they encounter a lot of activities and responsibility. They have to juggle there time with fun, work and school. It seems like there is never enough time. First you have to have fun, and enjoy life. But in order to pay your tab at the bar, you have to work. School is mixed up in between all of that. You have to find time for school. So instead of being real studious and having no social lives you have to time manage. You can still go to that five kegger and study for your mid-term. Just wait till the last minute and pull an all night cram session. All you have to do is wait till the last minute, be totally unprepared for the test, plan on soaking in a lot of information, and definitely plan on staying up all night. It's quite easy to do.
First you must wait till the last minute. This is very possible considering you spent your whole week trying to get a date for the weekend. I like to have hours before the test not days. This keeps the pressure on, and allows no time for sidetracking. If it is days you are only studying, not cramming.

As you look over the material you realize that some of the stuff you haven't even heard of. You might feel overwhelmed. Don't worry this is expected. It wouldn't be a proper cram session if you weren't totally clueless to of what was going on. Just remember, you are cramming half a semester of class into one all night session. This is where it gets good. You get to choose your weapon of choice. Do you do the flash card method where you write all the important terms and try to memorize it that way? Or do you do the re-read method. That's where you read the material over and over again. Until you have burned all of the material into your head. Which ever your preference is do it. You have no time to waste. Don't worry about the effectiveness of each. Beside if you were that worried about your grade you wouldn't have waited until the last minute. We are looking for a solid "C" in the course,
