We’ve cracked the code, this is how you ace your finals

At Columbia University, it can often seem as though everyone around you is killing it… and you’re… well… not. But most of the time, that’s all in your head! You just have to stay motivated. After all, in a week, this will all be over. Yikes, that sounded ominous, we just meant finals. Or did we.

Study Tip: Find a new place. It’s the end of the year, and you’ve probably spent too much time in *insert name of depressing but conveniently-located library you frequent way too often*. But you still have time to change that. Try Bwog’s list of ten study spots to check out, or Spoon’s list of the 10 best coffee shops for studying, or just start walking. Something’s bound to turn up.

Procrastinate: Get lost in the Wikipedia maze of people’s biographies and histories. Who to begin with? Why, the Zodiac Killer, of course.

Music: You know who else is killing it right now? The Killers. They’re currently working on their fifth studio album, which they’ve announced they are making because their last album “wasn’t good enough” and “we all know it.” Okay, so maybe they don’t think they’re killing it. But we figure the next album oughta be good, so in anticipation, you should listen to their old stuff. Here’s a few classics to start with, and by a few, we mean 86.

Overheard: SPOILER ALERT… “Jon Snow isn’t dead, but I am.”
