Last minute study??


Being a college student can be stressful at times. The pressure of partying, paying for tuition and keeping your grades acceptable all seem to hit you at once. When it's time for finals, the partying still does not stop. When you are done partying and having a good time with your social life, school is almost over. These steps will help you study for that final test at the last minute.

Tips!!!!!!!!!

    • 1
              • Turn your phone and any other distractions off. Distractions are probably the primary reason for you were not studying earlier to begin with.

    • 2
      Get focused. Do not just study for 5 minutes and then give up. Although most people believe that cramming for a test will not help, in the college world it does!
    • 3
      Set aside time to take small, quick breaks in between studying. It's too late to take 30-minute breaks.
    • 4
      Determine the information in your study notes and arrange them from most important to least important. Since you are studying last minute, you should also set aside the information and notes that you already know and focus more on what you don't know.
    • 5
      Use flash cards, the Internet, drawings and other methods to further help you with your "cram session."
    • 6
      Get a good night's rest. This is important so that you will wake up on time for your final examination.
    • 7
      On the day of your final exam, read over your notes on the way to the exam, and be prepared with whatever you need (pencil, paper) for your final examination.




good luck!!!.. (^_^)

Global Warming...

The current cycle of global warming is changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon. What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the face of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms, and snowcapped mountains—hangs in the balance.



Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening.
  • Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.
  • Researcher Bill Fraser has tracked the decline of the Adélie penguins on Antarctica, where their numbers have fallen from 32,000 breeding pairs to 11,000 in 30 years.
  • Sea level rise became faster over the last century.
  • Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas.
  • Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average.
  • Spruce bark beetles have boomed in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summers. The insects have chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees.
