While I have been at college only a short time, I have already discovered the importance of studying. Everyone complains about it because lets be honest, 100 pages of chemistry can be a little boring to read, but it can be fun if you try. For instance, I could study alone, or…I could study with superman and a gorilla in the room. (This photo was taken from the Daum lounge I was studying in) I try to make studying fun, and the best way I have found is studying in groups. Reading may seem hard to do in a group, but if you are around the right group of people, it makes the process bearable.  Reading the chapter puts you miles ahead of half the other people in your class who neglect to put in the extra time and effort. If reading isn’t your thing than do something else to go the extra mile, The University of Iowa offers many other options including supplemental instruction (SI), TA and Professor office hours, and even free tutoring in some subject areas! I strongly encourage everyone to try out these extra methods to really excel in their courses.
