    One of my strategies for studying is reading my notes front to back then backwards. I think this helps because originally I was studying in one order, remembering it only in that order. Reading it backwards will test if I really remember what I'm studying.

    One strategy that helps me get ready for an upcoming test is to watch Khan Academy/study Quizlet because that lets me see how other people explain the topic if I can't understand it, which allows me to perhaps find an easier way to grasp the concept because of all the different ways people explain things.

    One strategy I use to get ready for upcoming finals is make sure I get enough sleep. This helps because more sleep means you can have more energy to study. Getting more sleep helps you feel healthier and happier. Another strategy I do is that I play Kahoot! or Quizlet with my friends. We love doing this because it is a fun way to study and get our brain focused.

    some things that i do when i study is listen to music, it helps me stay focused. Also chew gum when i study and then when i take the test i chew the same flavor of gum. Also i try not to stress over the tests, if im studying and its 12:30 am i go to sleep because i can always study in the morning

The Power of Blogs

The great thing about blogs is that they can be about anything and it is a fresh perspective from outside the mainstream. Do you love to travel? Start a travel blog and it becomes your unique view on the topic. For this post I want you to pretend this is your blog. Write a post about a recent experience you had with something you have a strong opinion about. It can be negative or positive. Your post should be 6-10 sentences at a minimum. Compare and contrast what you are writing about with other things similar to your topic. For example: If you are writing about a record from a particular artist, compare it to similar artists or the artists earlier work. Same for restaurants, etc. See examples for ideas. The key is to be passionate. Ideas:  Movie review - Compare two movies you recently saw and what you like or disliked about them. Book review - see movie review... Travel experience Restaurant review Fashion review Technology  Examples:  Travel...
