Take Your Education Seriously #3

Mid-term week has come and gone, but not without lots of time preping for many exams, spending long hours into the night cramming for those tests that seem to have more weight than others. In my past years of schooling, I was able to study for 30 minutes on my own and do fairly well on any given test. However, Goshen College academics are a little different than those at Hesston College. They take things here a little more serious. I was not aware of this when I came, but soon found it to be true.
Test weeks are a stressful time for most, especially mid-term and finals week. I tried studying for mid-terms alone, however, my mind just started wondering, and suddenly I was thinking about work or the weekend, with nothing getting done for my test. I found it obvious that peer support would be the best thing to help me for a test.
I called up some friends and we all decided to meet up and do some much needed studying for the upcoming exams. This was very useful for all of us, as we found out we all had different answers on the questions and then compared to get what we thought was right. I enjoyed doing the "study-group" thing, as it gave me more options and outlooks on the material. It was also easier to keep on-task for the studying. These will be very helpful for my time here at Goshen, and will be put to much use, especially in times of tests.
