Life with LD

So this blog post idea was written about 2 weeks ago but I never really seemed to get around to posting it so here we are. While this topic may no longer seem relevant, in a way it is because our “spring break” has technically been extended and combined with our summer break until August. Now I know we still are responsible for finishing this semester remotely but we will have a lot more time on our hands which opens up the opportunity to do some of these things that we could have done over spring break. Since most states are still technically on an unofficial lockdown, I am in no way encouraging you to break the rules and do what I am suggesting you to do.

If it was up to me, I would end the semester now and give everyone an A for everything they have had to endure. But of course, it is not, and many universities, including mine, have decided to switch to online, remote instruction. For some this may be preferred but for me and many of my friends, ...

We’re a few weeks away from midterms and although we will all probably study last minute, I figured I would throw this blog post out there for people who want to start early this year. I have never had any midterms in the three semesters I have been in college but this semester I do so these tips will be helpful for the both of us. We all hate cumulative exams and although they are not as bad as finals, there is still quite a bit of information covered. With these study tips, you can ensure that you are adequately prepared for your exam and just a little less stressed as we count down the days until Spring Break! Make a midterm study schedule : This can apply for both exams in general and the topics you will review for each exam. The key to these weeks leading up to midterms is to have a plan. Sit down and decide the level of comfort you have with each topic being covered on the exam and use those findings to determine how much time you will spend reviewing them. Studying litt...
