First of all, if you fail your midterms, you get to go to college over the summer…which is really fun (you guys i failed some stuff and had to do maymester courses and then go to spain for the summer so like… )

DON’T FOLLOW IN MY FOOTSTEPS THO. 

You have to use our videos as rewards. You study for 30 mins, you get to watch a webcast. Study for another 30 mins, watch another webcast. If you start from the beginning of webcast time you could potentially get in 33 hours worth of studying (64 webcasts and 2 compilations). I’m pretty sure that’s how much I studied for the entirety of my college career. 

OR YOU COULD GO TO DENNY’S AND SIT DOWN WITH A HO-CHO* AND ReeeeeeEALLY HIT THE BOOKS.

*ho-cho, often called “hot chocolate” is a warm thick chocolaty drink that makes studying a lot easier…

You have to go to a place where the internet does not exist. Try 1984 or in the back of a moving pick-up truck.

In all seriousness, though - I have found in the past handful of years that when I need to get work done I have to a) not be in my own house, and b) not be on the internet. AT ALL. If I am in my house I will find a million things to do which are not studying (ie: clean between the tiles in the bathroom or categorize all of my photos by date or color scheme), and if I am on the internet I will simply check my email every three seconds and/or watch videos.

Remember that our videos will always be around, but these midterms are JUST ONE TIME. You can use them as rewards like Dannielle says, but you should structure it so that you study NOT ON THE INTERNET, and when you are DONE STUDYING TOTALLY DONE FOR THAT TIMEFRAME, then you watch a video. Because… let’s be real, after you watch one webcast you aren’t going to shut off your computer again for at least three more webcasts.

GOOD LUCK.
