It's the only way...

I have five tests this week. This is not an exaggeration (except for maybe in my dreams). I am fully prepared to only get 4 hours of sleep every night this week. Mark my word. I have just scheduled it in to my old grandma ways (Hello, 10:30 bedtime! 
I like to call it beauty sleep.). It just has to be done. What do you do when you have 2 club meetings, 5 tests, 2 nightly review sessions, 3- typed 6+ page lab reports and everything else that life throws your way? I am open to any and all tips at the moment! Oh wait, I am supposed to be giving you tips…Well, here’s one…study. I am known to make lists and get all prepared (which is a vital component of the success path), but you need to follow through and get some hard core studying done. It’s the only way. And on that note, I shall go study! Good Bye and Good Luck.
Okay, I guess I’ll give you a few more tips for tackling these busy schedules and doing everything that is expected of you in a timely manner:

Okay, I guess I’ll give you a few more tips for tackling these busy schedules and doing everything that is expected of you in a timely manner:
Get your food ready to go (yes, this would be the first thing that I tell you). Wash your fruit and put it in little plastic baggies. Buy lots of granola bars and quick frozen meals. Package up little baggies of cereal or homemade trail mix (i.e. mix your favorite cereals, snacks, crackers, nuts, whatnot together. The fact that my "trail mix" contains mostly cereal is no surprise!). Don’t let hunger stand in your way.
Before you go to bed, plan out an hour by hour schedule for the coming day. This may seem a little OCD, but trust me, it will help you stay sane throughout a HECTIC week. By the way, only make it a plausible list, especially if you follow through and take this advice: Don’t go to bed until everything that you had hoped to accomplish for that day has been completed.
Take breaks when needed. This sounds silly, but just remind yourself to take breaks and enjoy those breaks. Go talk to your crazy roomies…a good laugh can never hurt!
