Happy Friday! Maddy Benson is our spotlight today! Maddy’s favorite study spot is Basement of Parks Library at night, Gerdin Classrooms at Night. Her favorite study snack is Raspberries & Glazed Donuts. Maddy takes notes all semester long so she can review them prior to tests. Maddy’s advice is, “It's not too late to meet with your professor and gain a further understanding of the material. Many students stray from office hours because they are afraid to talk to professors, but they are there to help you and are willing to do so if you try. Take advantage of the access to office hours and having a private conversation with them to prepare for the exam”. Thanks, Maddy!

Andrew Wilson is our spotlight today! Andrew likes studying in Parks Library on the 3rd floor. He also likes Chocolate cookies from bookends and a red bull as his favorite study snack. Andrew reads through my notes a week before exams. Andrew says, “Find the place that works for you, I know I'll get done if I study in my room or someplace comfy where ill fall asleep”. Thanks, Andrew, for all your hard work!

Lillian Becker is our next spotlight. Lillian likes to study in the sunroom at the MU and her favorite study snack is ritz crackers. She usually studies 3-4 days in advance for her exams.

Personally, I will set a timer for a half-hour to commit my time to studying then I reward myself with ten minutes of "free time" to do what I want before I restart my timer. Thank you, Lauren, keep pushing through cyclones!
