We may have just started the quarter, but here at HCUCR, we think it’s not too early to start studying for midterms. Yes, we know. It’s easier said than done.
A great way to cure that inevitable case of studying procrastination is BAND, the new app that makes planning and updating everything in your life way easier than it would normally be (because we all know how incredibly stressful it gets!).
Check out how BAND can help you study:
- Life doesn’t stop when midterms come around. Make sure to stay on top of academics and your activities with BAND. Study groups can use this app to plan meetings, share documents, make to-do’s, and even share pictures of your post-midterm celebration.
- Get your study group on pace to ace your midterms. Divide responsibilities with the to-do list, document share, and calendar reminders. While your classmates aren’t your best friends, you need to communicate to ace this test…get them on the same page with BAND.
- You’re in charge of planning a date dash the night before your midterm. The only way to be successful at both is delegation. Make your to-do’s public and delegate planning responsibilities to your committee. Take on prep the weekend before and have your ladies sign up to set up the event. They can send you pictures as they work so that you can study for your test with peace of mind.
- Your intermural playoffs are the night your study group meets. Organize everything and keep your friends happy by keeping them in the loop with your life. Get your share of the study guide done for the study group, and share the document in advance so they don’t worry about it, then come meet with the group after your team wins the game!
- You didn’t mean to sign up for so many activities, but halfway through the semester, you’re in too deep with no way out. 18 units, work-study, and the student association are driving you crazy. You need to revamp for the second half of the semester if you are going to keep your grades up and all of your commitments going strong. Use BAND to keep track of what is going on with each group. Use a shared calendar, reminders, RSVPs, and to-do’s to make sure you stay on top of it all.
- Study Abroad Blues… did your friends leave you to study abroad all over the world? Stay in touch via BAND. Share pictures (that you can’t share on Facebook because your friends with your mom!), and make sure that you know what’s going on in one another’s lives with voice messages, chat and stickers. Plan a Skype session and send a reminder, no matter what time zone they’re in.
Take a little bit of the typical midterm stress off yourself beforehand. Join the BAND community that is growing daily, and make school, friends and everything else in your life easier to manage and juggle.
