Stress less during the finals

Check these out, too...

We know everyone’s counting down ’til the blissful days of summer. But before you can be totally carefree, there’s one last hurdle: finals. Here’s how to stay cool as a cuke in the pressure cooker that is exams.

Don’t cram
Studying in spaced-out increments will help you retain information easily. Take small 10-minute breaks to walk around around and get some fresh air. Start studying ASAP to avoid any last-minute mania.

Make lists

Ask yourself what needs to get done and when. Once you organize all the due dates for projects and tests, make a list of three to five tasks to do each day for the week leading up to the test or assignment due date. Keep the list with you in a planner or notebook so you can reference it whenever you need. Color-coding your list with bright colors will give your list an ounce of cheer, too.

Take advantage of the weather

You can’t stay cooped up in your house studying all day, so take advantage of the warm weather by taking a brisk walk around your block as a study break. Have a lot of reading to do? Enjoy the sunshine as you read out on your front porch or deck.

Avoid the junk

It’s tempting to constantly crunch on candy while you’re studying. In a word: Don’t! Making healthful choices (like sipping lots of water and getting plenty of sleep) will help you get through this stressful period while still feeling fab.

Get in a zen zone

Take time to stay chill by practicing yoga, writing in your journal or meditating for a few minutes daily. It’ll prevent you from getting utterly overwhelmed. Good luck, girl!

MOD MOD MOD! So, I have many bad habits but one of them is staying up until 2 each night (yes, even school nights) on my iPod. It leaves me SO tired the next day but face it, I'm addicted! How on Earth can I possibly get away from that?

Hey girly girl! You definately should set a time limit for yourself each day. Allow yourself an hour or two of time on your iPod, and don't let yourself go past 10 p.m. Maybe, ask your parents to help enforce it.

Mid May is when summative projects and finals start for me. My exams are at the end of June but starting to study a semesters worth of content a month to a month and a half before the exam helps a lot! if you start earlier it helps you engrave the content into your brain so that it is second nature come the exam!

i dated this guy last yeaar, but i didnt like him, so we broke up. this year he asked me out again & i said no, and he dated this other girl but he stil liked me.
now i like him,
and he texts me, but then stops halfway through the conversation. exxaapmle:
him,"hey."
me,"heey.i gotta go,track.text you later."
him, "o okay, see you, do good!"
me, (after practice) "thanks.(: & its over now."
& he never texted back.
he always does that..why?

Hey girlie -- the only way to find out is to ask him

mod mod mod okay i have a few questions:
1) is it okay to shave my arms? cuz everything else i've tried hurts too much, and i cant bleach b/c my mom says it makes the hair grow longer.
2) i sweat a LOT in my armpits so i got clinical deodorant from target. i use it every night and then apply regular deodorant before school. it KINDA helped, but not much. what else can i do to make me sweat less? and also, ever since i started using both deodorants, its been rly hard shaving. it doesnt come out as clean. why? and what should i do?
3) my joints randomly crack and im afraid i'll get arthritis when im older. do you think i will? and why does it happen? what should i do?
thanks!!!! you rock

1) It's ok it's just kind of a hassle to keep up with 2) check this out: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/09/24/I-Cant-Stop-Sweating.aspx 3) you should probably ask your doctor about that. good luck!
