Felt the need to share. Please go listen to some calculus songs.

Do it.

It’ll make you smile, promiseeeeee!

Midterm Round 2!

But round 1 JUST ENDED.

Oh wait.

University don’t care. University don’t give a shit.

Okay, a few things to remember for round 2.

  1. You have now officially BEEN THERE and DONE THAT. So learn from the mistakes you made in first round and don’t let history repeat itself! If you did bad because you didn’t sleep the night before then SLEEP, YOUNG GRASSHOPPER, SLEEP.
  2. Coffee. So I actually forgot that coffee has a bad consequence… AKA: that energy you feel turns into a crash. A crash proportional to the amount of delicious caffeinated goodness you’ve consumed. So, my friends, try not to chug down the coffee so much during midterm season!
  3. Don’t forget about your classes. Remember that during the time you decide to just ignore what your prof was saying so you could study, or maybe even skipping class entirely can be a problem when that material you missed out on is on the next midterm. AKA this week.
  4. Say no to the XBox/PS3/Wii/Tumblr/WhatWeShouldCallUBC/Facebook/Twitter/Where-was-I-going-with-this
  5. Office Hours are friends.
  6. So are TAs
  7. Multiple choice shouldn’t be viewed as “1/4 chance I’m correct! :D” but instead as “35 multiple choice questions is like 35 different doors I have to open and behind ever door is a 75% chance something will punch me in the gut”. Errr, you guys I think last round was a giant hit to my ego.
  8. Do your best and hope for the best!
  9. DON’T LEAVE QUESTIONS BLANK. Even if you have no idea, write anything down, equations, explanations, conclusions. This means you made the effort and sometimes part marks happen. And if all else fails you, draw a picture. At least you’ll make the poor TA marking all of the exams smile.
  10. Group study is a wonderful thing. You can help each other with questions and such.
  11. Biology 112 students this is for you: The Cheat Sheet first round was completely useless, remember that? Just keep in mind that spending time late into the night putting as much information onto the cheat sheet (this was definitely me) is probably not going to help you this time around. Study the main concepts and understand instead of memorize! Put things like pictures and charts on The Cheat Sheet, things you know you’ll forget. Otherwise you’re wasting precious studying time.
  12. Chem 121 students: There’s probably going to be (again) too many questions for 1 hour, so pick your battles, fellow soldiers.
  13. Math 100: … Ganbare! (Which is Japanese for: good luck!)
  14. Physics 101: Formula sheets are SUPER useful! Aside from actual formulas, an idea is to put some diagrams in there! It’s really helpful! Constants too! AND CONVERSIONS, just in case you’re like me and need help with going from mL to metres cubed.
  15. KEEP YOUR HEADS UP! If you do bad on midterms, remember that there are still finals and that hard work WILL pay off. Do your best as long as it really is legitimately the best you could have done given the time you had.

No, this isn’t a super late after midterms post. It’s an early BEFORE midterms post…
