Cramming

One of my least favorite parts of the year is during finals week. It is really unfortunate because it's the holiday season and I like staying up and watching Christmas movies and taking advantage of all the delicious foods that come out. It is difficult to enjoy all of the goodies that come along with this season while trying to cram. Now, a lot of people say that cramming is only the fault of the student but I do not really think that I could be prepared for a test without cramming. I remember the most when I cram...when I study a little bit each night I am usually distracted and it does not stick with me. I also do not have the time to do anything else but cram. Let's be honest, with hockey sucking up my entire life, it can be really hard to have the motivation to study late at night after practice when I'm sore and tired and need a really nice massage. This year, I plan on going to as many review sessions as I can and I'm going to try and prepare myself as best as I can no matter how tired I get. I really need to do well this semester and every extra point will help. It will just be nice knowing that as soon as I put all of this time and energy forth into my studies, I can go home and relax for a solid three weeks with my family, my dog, and all the food I can eat. Act like that doesn't sound AMAZING right now...
