In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Studies have shown that students that work in groups of 3-4 (no more) get better test results than those who study alone or in large groups. So grab 2-3 friends and make plans for studying. It'll be more fun than studying alone, anyway! Make sure the people you're studying with are good students that care. You don't want to be working with a few people who just want to mess around during your "study group" time. Have everyone bring snacks and think of a few things to talk about. Make a rough schedule of what you're going to cover and delegate a person as that week's group leader, so they can help keep everyone on track. If it's a Friday night and you have a test in a class on the following Monday, gather up 2-3 of your friends that are in your class and quiz each other. If a person gets a correct answer, then they get 2 points, if they get a wrong answer, they get 1 point taken away. Whoever gets the most points at the end of the study session get to pick a movie to watch! Whether it's a big test or project, the last thing you want is to have to do it all in the 1 or 2 days before its due. Start on it a week or two beforehand to make sure you have plenty of time in case things were to go wrong. Better safe than sorry! When it comes to tests, you should be studying a little bit every day about a week or so beforehand. The more days you spend studying, the more times your brain has to recall it, making the connections in your brain stronger and more reliable. Some teachers have great extra credit policies, where you can do a little extra work that can get tacked onto your test or project score. If you're looking for a little extra nudge in the right direction, talk to your teacher about doing extra credit. It can't hurt! And other times this extra credit will just be tacked onto your year-end score. That's good, too! With extra-credit, you really can't go wrong. The verdict is in: cramming for tests makes your scores worse. Why? Your brain can't function on little to no sleep, making it impossible to remember what you've studied all night for. So don't do it! You can study a bit in the morning if you absolutely have to. Your body needs sleep (7-9 hours, depending on your specific preferences). A lot of being a good student is about taking care of yourself, too! So skip the cramming, go to sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast. Studies show eating a good breakfast can power your brain and get you better grades, too! If you want to learn something, it makes sense to think, "study, study, and study some more until you have it down." In actuality, that's not how it works our brains literally fry. If you take breaks (10 minutes every hour), your attention and memory is improved. So when you're studying for that big exam, take breaks! You'll actually be doing your grades a favor! During your break, grab a handful of blueberries, nuts, broccoli, or even dark chocolate for a brain boost. Snacking can give you more energy if you're feeling a little fatigued, too. You know those 10 minutes you spent today waiting for the bus? The few minutes you had before each class yesterday? Those are all little opportunities you could be using to study. And it all adds up! So keep materials like flashcards with you that you can bust out at any given time. This is especially good if you have a friend with you during this time you can study with. You can each give each other a few flash cards and quiz each other. When you're reading and talking about the information, it becomes more solidified in your mind.
Summary: Work in a study group Start studying or working well beforehand. Ask about extra credit. Don't bother cramming! Take breaks more often than you think. Keep your materials with you wherever you go.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Scoop up a small amount of reddish-brown or reddish-purple cream blush on your fingertip and underline each eye from one corner to the other. Blend the color downward until it fades into the skin just above your cheekbones. Instant tired eyes! Keep the blush confined to your lower eyelid. If you blend it any lower, it may start to look fishy. You could also use a brow or eyeliner pencil, though this might be tougher to smudge properly. Place a small dot at the outer corners of both eyes. Use the tip of your finger or a cotton swab to smudge the makeup around the edges and up under the lids. Red, swollen eyes are a clear sign that you've been crying, sneezing uncontrollably, or suffering from a lack of sleep. Avoid blending the blush or lipstick into the product you used to draw on your eye circles. Too much color in the same area may come off looking raccoon-like and unnatural. Rather than filling in your entire lid, leave about half an inch exposed just beneath your lower lashes. The uncovered skin will look puffy and swollen as a result. Make sure you've contoured your eyes carefully with the cream blush or brow pencil. Otherwise, your eye bags won't look very real. Squeeze 1-2 drops of regular saline into each eye and blink a few times. This is a harmless way to temporarily puff up your eyes like you've been dealing with wicked allergies. Be careful not to use so much that you get teary. All that hard work will have been for nothing if your eye makeup runs.
Summary:
Draw dark circles under your eyes. Rim your eyes with red cream blush or lipstick. Leave your bottom eyelid exposed to create the effect of eye bags. Use eye drops for a bloodshot stare.
