Anti-studying: the more you read, the less you know
Everything seems unfamiliar and un-memorizable
When I was studying for exams a little over a week ago, Christmas break seemed impossibly far away.
Normally, the more I study for an upcoming exam, the better I feel. As I read over my notes and review the textbook, the material seems familiar and my impending sense of doom diminishes a little.
