College Life Hacks

Use your sense of hearing

• If music doesn’t distract you, listen to one, or a small handful, of songs over and over again when studying. Then, when you get stuck on a test, sing those lyrics back to yourself.

• Create your one song/poem based on the material you are testing on. Then sing it to yourself during the test.

Use your sense of taste

• Gum

• Chapstick

Use your sense of smell

• Use the same lotion testing as when studying

• Use the same perfume/cologne testing as when studying

•  

Use your sense of sight

• Color code notes

• While testing, wear similar/same clothing you were wearing when you studied

Use your sense of touch

• When studying, read from a physical textbook instead of an electronic one

• Handwrite notes

• While testing, use the same pencil/pen as when studying
