My First Post!!

Hey guys!  So this is my first time writing to y'all and I'm so excited!  So this blog is to just give you guys tips on life as I figure everything else out for myself.  So I hope that you guys have a great day and hopefully you guys don't have exams like I do because they are killing me!  But if you do, here are some tips for midterms just in case you guys need a little help.
   

Tip #1- Get Help From Classmates

Okay so chances are that you aren't going to be the first person to have every exam.  If you are, then sorry but this tip is not going to help you!  So, if you have a friend who has taken one of the exams that you still have to take already, ask them for help!  They know exactly what's on the test and they can help you study exactly what's on the test instead of everything that you've learned this past semester.  But try not the ask them about specific questions, unless it's something like an essay, because with teachers at my school if they find out that they told answers to specific questions, they say that you cheated and will just about kill you.  So just ask for help on topics that are covered on the test, and try to be pretty vague with your questions so that you don't get accused of cheating.

Tip #2- Don't Stress Out!

Everyone has that thing that they always do when they get nervous and everyone else in the class thinks that it's the most annoying thing ever.  When I get nervous, I ask questions, and I mean a lot of them.  I will ask a question and ask them to confirm their answer, and then I'll ask them to repeat it about 25 times.  That's what I do.  And all my teachers just tell me not to stress out and I always believed that they just told me that so that I'd fail.  But I finally realize that when I don't stress out and ask a million questions, I do a lot better on tests!  But don't be so relaxed, there are always some exams where you need to study all weekend and pray to God that you didn't fail.  For those exams, a little stress can't hurt.

Tip #3- Peppermint!

So I'm really superstitious, like scarily.  So, I read online that the smell of peppermint can wake up your brain and help you out on tests.  After I read this, I went a little crazy.  On test day, I have a big glass of peppermint tea, wear some of my Twisted Peppermint perfume from Bath and Body Works, have a gazillion mints in my mouth (I have seriously good breath for my tests), and use anything and everything peppermint in my house.  This includes everything from the peppermint foot scrub that makes my skin really soft, to the scratch-and-sniff candy cane stickers that I got at Target.  I don't know if all this actually works, but it might!

And that's all I got.  If you have any other test taking tips, just comment down below and I'll make another post later!  Good luck on exams!
