Barbara Jordan (born February 21, 1936, Houston, Texas, U.S.—died January 17, 1996, Austin, Texas) American lawyer, educator, and politician who served in the U.S. House of Representatives (1973–79), representing Texas. She was the first African American congresswoman to come from the South. Jordan was the youngest of three daughters in a close-knit family. As a high school student, she became a skilled public speaker, winning a national debate contest in 1952. She attended Texas Southern University in Houston, becoming a member of the debate team that tied Harvard University in a debate—one of her proudest college moments. Following graduation (magna cm laude in 1956), she attended Boston University Law School, where she was one of only two women—both African Americans from Houston—to graduate. She passed the Massachusetts bar exam but moved to Tuskegee Institute (later renamed Tuskegee University) in Alabama and taught there for one year before returning to Texas and gaining admittance to the bar there.

Jordan was an effective campaigner for the Democrats during the 1960 presidential election, and this experience propelled her into politics. In 1962 and 1964 she was an unsuccessful candidate for the Texas House of Representatives, but she was elected in 1966 to the Texas Senate, the first African American member since 1883 and the first woman ever elected to that legislative body.

Above are study techniques that you can utilize no matter what you are studying for. Try switching up your environment… you can visit Brandel Library or 1891 to have a quiet place to study and get some work done.
Try listening to calming music such as classical mixes of some of your favorite songs, or could switch it up and listen to some Lofi.
Getting a good nights sleep can be hard at times, so try winding down for the night with a warm cup of hot chocolate or tea and a good book to make the transition to sleep easier.
Eliminating distractions can be hard, so try putting your phone on time lapse while you are studying or set a timer for yourself. Remember that while you are studying take breaks!
