Studying tips

By

 Its the start of of the Spring Semester, and some of us are already studying for the next quiz or test. Here are some tips to make studying a an easier time.

1. Take periodic breaks. Take 10 minute breaks every 30-50 minutes. I'd suggest using that time to stretch your legs and use the restroom.

2. Listen to music. This tip won't work for everyone, because I know some people who can only focus in absolute silence. But for me at least, I find that listening to some lo-fi music or my favorite podcast  really takes the stress away from studying. 

3. Don't cram for an exam. Cramming overnight for an exam is far from a good idea. The fatigue from studying overnight can really hurt your performance on a test, and chances are you'd hardly retain any of the information from the night before. I'd personally recommend taking an hour each night before bed to study for any up coming exam you'd might have a week or two before hand. 

4. stay hydrated. Have a cup of water or your preferred beverage by your side while studying. avoid sodas or other beverages that are high in sodium, since they actually make you more dehydrated.  Staying hydrated tends to help me keep focus, and calm me down if I get frustrated. 

Share any tips you have in the comments.

Random Thought: an Anti-Karen Restaurant

By
            Everyone who has worked in food service knows that Karens are the worst. They confront you about the littles things (sometimes for no reason at all), they belittle you at every opportunity, and they are constantly asking to see the manager, hoping to see you punished for just doing your job. The worst part, you have to take it all without the slightest hint of sass, or else your the bad guy in your employer's eyes. But what if you worked at a restaurant that would not only take your side, but actively encouraged sassy behavior? That's were my idea comes in, "The Haven from Karen Dinner and Grill".      Inspired by a Hungarian  restaurant from State College, PA, that would paddle guests that didn't finish their food; this Dinner's staff is encouraged to finish every customer interaction with a bit of sass. They are encouraged to welcome every guess with a sarcastic remark like "welcome to Haven From Karen, would...
