Problem: Article: Once you've tested to see how interested a girl is in hanging out by making open-ended invitations, you may be ready to make specific plans. Ask her to hang out at a certain time doing a certain activity. Never pressure her to make a decision, but try to make specific plans. Say: "Do you want to go to this concert next weekend?" "How about lunch tomorrow?" "Wanna go to the football game on Wednesday?" Trying to make spontaneous plans can seem like added pressure, but since they're so last minute, the sting of rejection may be lessened. It's totally understandable if someone can't drop what they're doing to hang out. Strike up a conversation with the girl you want to hang out with and say something like: "Do you want to grab some coffee?" "Hey, are you hungry? I was about to grab a bite to eat. Do you want to go with?" "The weather is awesome! Let's go for a bike ride!" If you really want to hang out with a girl, you should make the process as simple for her as possible. She could have a busy schedule, so give her choices on times, days and things-to-do. Tell her about something you'd like to do that sounds cool and talk about different days you could get together. Vary the activities you suggest in case she wants to do one thing more than the other. Say: "This new movie looks so funny. Could you watch it Thursday or Saturday? There's another good movie coming out too, I think." "A street festival is going on next weekend, but I think some food trucks are going to be at the art's district this weekend." "My favorite band is coming to town next month! There's a new sushi spot opening soon too."
Summary: Make specific plans. Make spur-of-the-moment plans. Give her options for times and activities.

Problem: Article: In the same way that no two people have the same results on the same diet plan, no two people have the same results on the same study plan. You need to find a way that works for you. Does that mean recording lectures and listening to them over and over? Does that mean turning your notes into pictures and charts? Does that mean typing out your notes into a book you can review later on? Does it mean quizzing with friends? Everyone is different what helps you remember? How do you learn? Odds are you probably know how you remember things. Is it by hearing? Seeing? Using your hands? Whatever helps you, do it. Find a friend and relay facts to them. Create your own mnemonic devices and draw pictures to help your brain remember. Anything to engage you will do the job. From now on, your Sunday nights are time for Sunday weekly review (SWR). This is when you sit down at your super clean, well-organized desk, bust out your folders and binders, and review everything you covered in your classes from Monday through Friday. Whatever you don't remember deserves extra time and whatever you do remember you can gloss over. This way you and your GPA are up to snuff at all times. And at the end of your SWR, take a quick look at your syllabus. What will you be covering next week? Do you have any tests or project deadlines? If there's anything you should write in your planner, write it now. Research shows that the mind easily gets saturated and stops processing information at 100% if you don't give it a rest. Ideally, you should study for about 50 minutes and then take a 10 minute break. This allows your brain to recharge, and also giving the information a second to sink in. Turn your phone off while you're studying. Just do it. Then, when you're on your break, turn it back on and do everything you've been dying to do for the past 50 minutes. Your break time should be the only time you're "multitasking" and getting distracted from the topic matter at hand. Break down larger projects into hour or so chunks. This way you have clear stopping points where you can stop, take a breather, grab a bite to eat, and get back to it ready to go. Research shows that studying in groups is a highly effective way to study so long as the group is around four people and they're actually focused. Why? It's because talking about the subject cements it in your mind, forcing you to listen, think about, and speak about it all at once. All these skills being used together makes the concept process in your brain at a deeper level. Designate a leader for the group to keep everyone on track. Bring some snacks and have some questions ready. Cover all your material, and then be sure to circle back to what stumped the group. Make sure to utilize individual's strengths as much as possible, too. And don't mess around. Study groups are not beneficial if you're just sitting and gabbing, gossiping about your friends and munching on snacks. That's why a leader is so beneficial sometimes you'll need someone to wrangle you back to the correct path. The fact of the matter is that cramming does you no good. Studies show that students who study the night before and don't sleep actually do worse on tests than those who study less and actually get some shut eye. This is because the brain needs sleep to get all gears functioning properly if you don't get any sleep, that study session won't do you much good. If a test is coming up and you're not ready for it, all you can do is study for a bit the night before, get a decent night's rest, get up, study a little bit more, eat a protein-packed breakfast, and do your best. During the test, pop a piece of peppermint or gum into your mouth for an awakening blast studies show that it could improve academic performance. Sitting in the middle of your dorm while your roommate is watching TV and eating nachos isn't going to do your GPA any favors. You need a spot that makes you feel calm and is enjoyable enough that you can spend hours there without consistently looking at the clock. Find a couple of study spots you love. Research shows that studying in multiple locations actually solidifies the information in your brain. It's thought that in a new environment, the brain has to take in more stimuli and the information comes along with it.
Summary: Find a way to study that you love. Do a weekly review. Take breaks while you study. Grab your (smart and focused) friends and form a study group. Don't pull an all-nighter. Find a study spot you love.
