How to prepare yourself for your first flight
Buy a ticket.
For most people, the easiest and most cost-effective way to buy a ticket is through an online travel site. If you prefer to talk to a person, you can call the airline directly, or use a travel agent.

Once the ticket is purchased, you will receive an email confirmation with the option to either print your ticket at home or link it to your phone. You can also print your ticket at the airport.

How to study for finals
Identify your goals.
Before you begin studying, it is important to identify what your goals are. Set a target grade for each exam and think about what you will need to do to achieve that grade.

Be realistic; consider how well you've been doing all year, how good your understanding of the material is and window of time you have to study. Don't set your goals too low either.

How to learn to swim as an adult
Spend some time in the shallow end of the pool.
If you don't have much experience in the water, it can be helpful to get comfortable just being in the pool before you tackle swimming. Spend some time moving around in water that is shallow enough that you can stand on the bottom of the pool with your head still above the water.
Buy ear plugs and goggles to make swimming more comfortable. Having water in your eyes and ears isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can feel strange and distracting when you first begin swimming.
