Finals are coming up, and no one wants to feel stressed while having to study. Why not make it something that you enjoy doing? This idea sounds weird, but it can surely be accomplished. This is your guide to help you accomplish that relaxing study sesh everyone strives for.
Starting off: you need a nice place where you can relax and focus on studying and getting your work done in a timely manner. This is not always your house; maybe it’s a cafe. The Amsden Coffee Club in downtown Versailles is a nice place to go when you want to unwind and have no distractions.
You also need a comfy, cozy outfit. Everyone knows that when you are wearing a cute outfit you just feel better about yourself, you are confident and just more motivated to get what you need to done. If you don’t know– you will agree as soon as you try this! For me it’s just harder for something to ruin my day if I feel confident about myself.
Sometimes you need to take a break and, obviously, you need a book. This is an amazing way to take a break all while keeping your brain flowing and ready to go. I love to go to Joseph Beth to find a good book, they have a wide selection of every genre and story line that you’d want. They also have a nice bistro there as well, where you can study and grab a bite to eat as well.
Books aren’t your thing? Don’t fret, I have just the thing for you. You will need a good comfort movie to watch at the end of a long day, to reboost the energy to work or just watch it while working. Plenty of people need something in the background to be able to focus.
That brings me to my next idea, a good playlist. SO MANY people like to listen to music while studying and it helps them focus and stay on task. I personally agree with this as I strongly believe that everyone needs to make a playlist with fun preppy songs and then one for calm, meditating like music for the actual studying portion– but that is just my opinion.
Lastly, You have to have a comfy blanket. If you are going out to study, maybe don’t bring a blanket, but if you are studying at home this is perfect. I personally love Minky Couture Blankets, they are crazy soft but a little pricey. Target is also a good place to find a comfortable blanket for a good price. I mean if you’re there, you might as well get a candle.
I hope this makes studying not as miserable and a little tolerable!
