🌟Good luck with exams and be proud of your accomplishments! Here’s what our President has to share as a tip for studying! 🔥

# 86 𝙏𝙞𝙣𝙖 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙝 *𝘼𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙤𝙣*
Major: BS in Biology; concentration in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology
“Always review and take notes of the class material before lecture if you can! This allows you to fully focus on what the professor is saying, rather than trying to take notes and listen at the same time. It also makes it easier to ask the professor questions about subjects that you might be confused on!” ❣️

😪Virtual learning can be a hassle! Here’s some advice from our sister, Thy! 🙈

#95 𝙏𝙝𝙮 𝙉𝙜𝙪𝙮𝙚𝙣 *𝙐𝙉𝙁𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙀𝙉*
Major: BS in Psychology
“Make sure you give yourself enough time to get things done! Waiting until the last minute can be stress inducing and procrastinating can be tempting, but it’s always better to get things done ahead of time. Plus, you’ll probably have more time to relax afterwards too! :)”💕

🍀 Wishing you good luck on midterms! Here’s a tip Abigail has to share about studying! ❤️

#103 𝘼𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙏𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙙 *𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙋𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡*
Major: Community Health; Minor: Nutrition
“Sleeping allows your brain some time and energy to process information that you’ve learned, therefore, sleeping about 8 hours a day is the best way to retain what you’ve studied. In addition, sleeping gives you energy to perform throughout the day! ✨

😰 Stressing over midterms? No fear! Here’s what Karen would like to share as a tip! 🥺

#101 𝙆𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣 *𝙑𝘼𝙉𝘿𝘼𝙇*
Major: BA in Psychology; concentration of Work and Organization
“I like to write my notes by hand versus typing them! It takes a lot longer to do but by writing everything out, it forces you to comprehend the material better!”

#98 𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙨 *𝙈𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏𝙔*
Major: BS in Computer Science
"Break down your work into separate tasks that can be done in an hour or less. And every 20 minutes give your eyes a 20-second break from device screens!" 💕

On January 1, 1863, the emancipation proclamation was set to place. However, it wasn’t until more than TWO YEARS later that enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were let aware and learned they were free.
.
We want to recognize this day as an important day towards history as it commemorates Black freedom. It also represents the many ways in which justice for Black people have been delayed. Thus, we encourage those to reflect, support, and educate themselves about this historical holiday.

They've always supported me, encouraged me, and loved me as I am.
