For those times when you want someone to quiz you or share notes from that last lecture, nothing beats having a classmate who’s willing to study with you. If there is someone in your class or workshop you find intriguing or who is new to the school or program, ask that person to study with you. Say something to spark a conversation. Imagine being in a new environment and not knowing anyone . . . and then how welcoming it would feel to have a stranger invite you to study with them. Most likely, the person you ask to be your study buddy will be as supportive of you as you are of them. You both want to excel! It’s a win-win for both of you.
