How to Develop Good Study Habits for College

Effective studying is critical to success in college, and many new college students quickly find that their prior study habits need major adjustments. To begin making the change, find a quiet, organized space to study. Study with a positive attitude and specific goals in mind. If you need help, there's no shame in asking. Your professors and peers are there to help you learn. You can develop excellent habits that help you navigate the difficulties of college.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Getting Organized to Study

1. Create a dedicated study space. Find a quiet space in your dorm room or somewhere on campus where you can focus. Studying in the same place every day trains your brain to associate a certain environment with work. This will help you get into the zone when you start studying.^[1]
   
   • Pick a place that's quiet and distraction free. The basement of your dorm may not be a good choice if it's a common place for socializing, but you could instead study at your desk in your dorm room.
2. Find a regular time for studying. If you study at the same time each day, your brain will be prepped for learning when you sit down. Review your schedule and see when you have free time. Schedule an hour or two for studying during those times each day.^[2]
   
   • You can study during gaps between classes or in the evening after your classes are done for the day.
   • In addition to finding times that work, find times when you're naturally more energetic. If you tend to get sleepy in the afternoon, do something relaxing for yourself around two o'clock and schedule study time sometime after dinner.
3. Organize your materials. Make sure you have everything you need to study at your study space. If you're studying in a place in your home, keep things like your books, pencils, pens, and scrap paper in that area. If you go out to study, invest in a book bag with a lot of compartments and keep all your study supplies stored there.^[3]
   
   • It can help to stop by a local office supplies store to get things like notebooks, pencil boxes, and other storage contraptions to keep yourself organized.
4. Eliminate distractions. When readying your study space, it's important to keep it distraction free. Remove any technologies that will take your mind off your work, like your smartphone. You can even use apps to block distracting websites like Facebook while you're studying, forcing you to focus on academic websites instead.^[4]
   
   • Keep other distracting material, such as outside reading, away from your study area.
   • If you go out of your dorm or apartment to study, do not take anything potentially distracting. Stick to your school supplies only and leave things like your iPod at home. However, if you are studying in a noisy place, you may want to bring your headphones if music helps you focus.
5. Figure out your needs via trial and error. College is all about experimentation. It can take awhile to find your groove when it comes to studying. For a few weeks at the beginning of the semester, experiment with studying at different times and places until you figure out when and where you're more productive.
   
   • For example, study in your dorm one day and a coffee shop the next day. Take note of which place you feel the most relaxed and engaged and make a habit of studying there regularly.

[Edit]Using Good Study Techniques

1. Create one goal for each session. Your study sessions are most effective if they have some direction. Just blindly studying can be overwhelming and you may waste time fumbling to figure out where to start. Before each study session, figure out what topics are most pressing and set goals.^[5]
   
   • For example, if you're studying for a math final, focus on one concept each day. You can study multiplication one day and things like division the next.
   • You can also set goals based on days of the week. Focus on your math and science courses on Mondays and Wednesdays and your humanities courses on Thursdays and Fridays, for example.
2. Start with difficult material first. You'll be most energetic at the beginning of your study period. Therefore, it makes sense to begin by studying the most challenging materials. Tackle the most difficult subjects and topics first before targeting your strong points.
   
   • For example, if you're really struggling understanding a concept for a philosophy class, study your notes and reading on that concept first. Then, you can move on to easier topics.
3. Rewrite your notes. Studying requires a lot of memorization. It can help to simply rewrite your notes and reword them as you go. Read over all your notes for one session and then rewrite them on a separate sheet of paper. This will force you to engage with the material and write it in your own words again, which increases understanding and helps you remember what you've learned.^[6]
   
4. Use memory games. Memory games can help you remember tough concepts and terms. You can use visualization techniques or string together words that help you remember concepts. These can be highly useful for an exam.^[7]
   
   • For example, a well known memory device is Kings Play Cards On Flat Green Stools, used to help you remember the taxonomy order used to classify species (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species).
   • You can also use visualization. For example, you're trying to remember Jeanette Rankin was the first woman to serve in Congress and you have an Aunt Jeanette. Picture your Aunt Jeanette talking on the floor of Congress to help you remember.
5. Take breaks. No one can study for hours on end without getting frustrated and burnt out. Breaks help you relax, recharge, and approach a situation with new eyes. Make a habit of studying for one hour and then taking a five minute break to do something you enjoy, like go on social media or text a friend.^[8]
   
   • Set a timer to make sure you're on task. You don't want to study for too long, leading to frustration, or take a long break, which can ruin your concentration.
6. Study with a positive attitude. If you see studying as a chore, you're likely to get frustrated and burn out. Instead of seeing studying as something you have to do, look at the positives. Think of this as a way to improve your skills and abilities and get the most out of your education.^[9]
   
   • Studying can be stressful, and it's important to address and challenge stressful thoughts. For example, don't think, "I'm a mess. I'm never going to understand this." Instead think, "I'm sure if I work a little each day, I can figure out this material."
7. Give yourself rewards. Studying feels easier if you have something to look forward to when you're done. Develop a reward system for yourself so you're motivated to get through your work.^[10]
   
   • For example, agree that if you study for three hours, you can go to the cafeteria and have something like ice cream or pizza for a treat.

[Edit]Seeking Outside Resources

1. Refer to your syllabus as needed. It's important you understand the expectations of your course as you're studying. Use the syllabus as your guide if you feel overwhelmed or lost while studying. The syllabus will outline major concepts, grade breakdowns, and so on.
   
   • For example, say you've been getting frustrated memorizing the years of major scientific breakthroughs for a science course. The syllabus says the goals of the course are to help you gain a better understanding of scientific theory. It's more important for you to understand the overarching theories than know the exact dates.
2. Form a study group. Find peers who are hard workers and do well in the course. Ask them to form a study group. The right study group can really help you stay focused and engaged and gain a better understanding of course material.^[11]
   
   • Choose the right peers. If your study group is made up of friends, studying may turn into socializing fast. Pick good students who are genuinely engaged in class.
   • Bounce off one another's strengths. If a classmate is confused on a subject you're skilled at, and does well in an area that confuses you, they would make a good partner. The two of you can help one another out.
3. Go to your professors with questions. There is nothing to be embarrassed about if you have questions. Everyone gets confused sometimes and needs some extra help. If you have questions on a concept or subject, e-mail your professor or go to office hours. They may be able to offer you tips and tricks to better understand the material.
   
   • Your professor's office hours should be stated on their green sheet, which they handed out at the beginning of the semester.
   • When e-mailing your professor, state your class day and time in the subject header. Professors often teach more than one class.
4. Go to review sessions if they are offered. Some teachers have review sessions each week or before an exam. Always make a habit of going if you have time in your schedule. Review sessions can help you gain a better understanding of course materials. They can also be a great place to ask professors or teaching assistants questions.
   
   • If your teacher does not offer a review session, ask them if they are willing to do it. If enough students are interested in a review session, they may create one.
5. Use a tutor. If your campus has tutoring centers, make use of them if you ever need help. You can also look for a private tutor in your area online. A little one-on-one help can go a long way if you're confused about a subject.
   
   • Not all tutors advertise in the tutoring center on college campuses. Some tutors post their fliers on the school bulletin board, alongside other fliers for housing and textbook sales.
   • If you cannot find any tutors, ask your classmates. Some of them may be willing to help you before or after class, and not all of them will charge a fee.

How to Open a Beer Bottle with a Key

Popping open a brew with just about anything

Imagine: you’re about to pop open a cold one, when you realize, to your horror, that you’ve got nothing to pop it open with. Yes, it could happen to you. But the lack of a bottle opener doesn’t have to mean the end of your night—just reach for that keychain. If you’ve got a house, car, bike lock, or any sort of sturdy key, you’ve also got a bottle opener, and we’ll show you how to use it. And if you left your keys at home? We’ve still got you covered with a few other crafty bottle opening tricks. Sláinte!

[Edit]Things You Should Know

• Slide the teeth of a sturdy key under the cap’s ridges, then twist the key until the cap pops off.
• Use the tip or teeth of the key to pry the ridges of the bottle cap away from the bottle, and repeat all the way around the sides of the cap.
• Use a belt buckle, the edge of a countertop, or a door latch as makeshift bottle openers.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Popping

1. Grab the bottleneck with your non-dominant hand. Wrap your index finger around the top of the neck, close to the cap, and hold the bottle securely so that it doesn’t slide in your hand when you push against it. Don’t worry about squeezing it too tight, a firm grip is enough.^[1]
   
   • Anchor the bottom of the bottle against a tabletop or your thigh for added stability.
2. Position the teeth or tip of a key under the cap. This ain’t a job for a small file cabinet key or a dinky padlock key. Pick a strong, larger key like a car key or a heavier house key. It’s best to pick a key with multiple ridges at the tip—it’ll be easier for it to get under the bottlecap’s ridges.^[2]
   
3. Twist the key upwards until you hear the beer bottle pop off. Move the key in your dominant hand so you’re twisting the key up towards you. It’s the same motion you’d make if you were turning your car on. Your index finger will act as a sort of fulcrum and add pressure to the cap. Since the key is lodged under the bottle cap, the key will pry the cap open.^[3]
   
   
4. Try a different side of the cap if it didn’t pop off immediately. Depending on the bottle cap, the strength of your key, and your experience with this method, the cap might not pop off on your first try. I fit doesn’t, turn the bottle until a new part of the cap is facing you, and try again.^[4]
   
   
   • This method works with any flat, strong object. If you don’t have a key, use a lighter, a coin, a metal spoon, or a flathead screwdriver.

[Edit]Prying

1. Slide the teeth or tip of the key under the cap’s ridges. Hold the bottle firmly toward the top. Then, position the teeth of they key under a few of the bottlecap’s ridges. Use your thumb to wedge them in a bit further.^[5]
   
2. Twist the key until the ridge bends upwards. Twist the key back and forth gently but firmly until the bottlecap ridge starts to bend away from the mouth of the bottle. Hold the key so that it’s pointing away from you, and twist it just like you’d turn the ignition.^[6]
   
   
   • If you can’t get anywhere using the teeth of the key, use the very tip of the key instead, and rock the rest of the key over your thumb for leverage.
3. Turn the bottle a bit, and repeat the process until the cap releases. Keep prying the key under the ridges, turning the bottle as you go. Eventually, all the ridges securing the cap to the bottle will be released and the cap will come off in your hand, or you’ll be able to easily pop the cap off with a little pressure.^[7]
   
   

[Edit]Other Methods

1. Open the bottle against the edge of a counter. Find a sturdy counter or railing, and position the lip of the bottlecap against the corner of the counter. With your free (preferably dominant) hand, give the top of the cap a good, downward whack, making sure to aim for the edge of the cap that’s away from the counter. With a few tries and some good aim, the cap will pop right off.^[8]
   
   
2. Pop it open with another bottle. Got a second bottle on-hand? Well now it’s a bottle opener. To open a bottle with another bottle, turn the second bottle upside down and place the lip of the cap under the lip of the first bottle’s cap. Grab the neck of the upright bottle, placing your thumb just under the inverted cap. Then turn the upside-down bottle away from the first, using it as a lever against your thumb to pry open the first.^[9]
   
   
   • Note that now you’ve opened the first bottle, you’ll have to use another method to open the second.
3. Use the ring on your finger. Wedding band? Engagement ring? For the next 20 seconds, that’s a bottle opener. Place your ring hand over the cap and slip the edge of your ring under the ridges of the cap. Then, pull your wrist downward so that your ring finger moves upward, prying the cap away with it.^[10]
   
   
   • Note that this methods may result in a little bruising, and you should move on to another if it causes any discomfort to your finger.
4. Pry off the cap with a door latch. You know that little metal thingamajig on the doorframe that catches the door’s bolt? That’s a bottle opener. Stick the cap into the bolt hole, positioning it against the sharp metal rim (so that the bottle is sideways. Then, simply turn the bottle away from you to open it as you would with a normal bottle opener, and quickly turn it upright to avoid spillage.^[11]
   
   • Make sure the metal hardware is sturdy and won’t bend under the torque of the bottle.
   • Grab a dish towel and hold it under the bottle as you twist it to catch any foam.
5. Use your belt buckle as a bottle opener. The great thing about belts is that they have buckles, and the great part of buckles is that they’re actually bottle openers. Remove your belt and slip the bottle through it. Then, use your thumb to push one edge of the buckle up against the cap, and hold the other edge down against the bottle with your other fingers. Give it a little pressure and, voila! Open bottle.^[12]
   
6. Open the bottle with scissors. What are scissors but sharp bottle openers, really? Hold the scissors as you normally would, and place one blade under the lip of the cap and the other flat on top of the cap, and twist.^[13]
   
   
   • Practice caution here—we don’t recommend this method for anyone who couldn’t pass a breathalyzer.
7. Twist the cap off with a rubber band. Okay, so this one’s not a bottle opener so much as a… bottle gripper? Wrap a thick rubber band around the cap of a bottle, and twist that sucker as hard as you can. It’ll probably take a few minutes, but eventually the twisting will loosen the cap and allow you to pry it off with your hands.^[14]
   

[Edit]Tips

• Check if the bottle is a twist-off before trying to open it with a key!^[15]
• If you often find yourself without a bottle opener, consider purchasing a bottle opener keyring for your keys!

[Edit]Warnings

• Never use your teeth to open a bottle.
• Be careful of the ridges—they can be very sharp!

How to Get Rid of Fruit Flies

Your guide for trapping and killing fruit flies, plus how to stop them from coming back

Have you noticed some small pesky flies circling around your fruit bowl? Even though fruit flies are harmless to humans, they can still be a real nuisance when they start showing up in your home. When fruit flies get to your produce before you can, there are some easy things you can do to get rid of them fast using some common household products. We’ll walk you through the best ways to trap and spray fruit flies so they’re gone for good from your home.

This article is based on an interview with our pest control specialist, Joshua Bloom.

[Edit]Things You Should Know

• Catch fruit flies in a bowl filled with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap so flies can get in but not escape.
• Roll a piece of paper into a cone and stick it inside of a glass jar with ripe fruit. Empty the trap and replace the bait every 2–3 days to get rid of the flies.
• Spray fruit flies directly with rubbing alcohol or an aerosol insecticide to kill them on contact.
• ​​Get rid of any overripe fruit where fruit flies might lay eggs to keep them from coming back.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Catching Fruit Flies in Traps

1. Use a bowl with apple cider vinegar and dish soap to catch the flies. Pour enough apple cider vinegar into a bowl so it’s two-thirds full. Add a drop or two of liquid dish soap to the bowl, and then cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap. Poke about 10–15 holes in the wrap with a toothpick and set it out to attract the fruit flies.^[1]
   
   • Fruit flies will be drawn to the scent of the vinegar and drown when they come into contact with the soapy surface. The plastic wrap prevents any fruit flies from escaping once they crawl inside.
     
   • Empty the bowl and replace the bait every 2–3 days until your fruit fly infestation clears up. Fruit flies usually only survive for 1–2 weeks, so it won’t take long to catch them all.
     
   • Avoid using distilled white vinegar since it doesn’t attract fruit flies very well.
     
2. Trap flies with a paper funnel and jar baited with fruit. Roll a regular piece of paper into a cone so the opening at the point is less than . Tape the paper so it holds its shape. Set a ripe piece of banana, peach, or tomato inside a jar.^[2] Set the point of the cone in the jar so it’s just above the bait. After a few days, toss out the trap and replace it with fresh bait.^[3]
   
   • The fruit flies will go down the funnel toward the bait, but they won’t be able to find their way back out and get stuck.
     
   • Stick the trap in your freezer overnight to humanely kill the flies before throwing away the old bait. That way, they won’t fly away or stay alive in your trash.
     
   • Try to throw the trap out within 7 days to keep new fruit fly larvae from hatching in your home.
3. Turn a plastic bottle into a funnel trap for a cheap and effective fix. Cut the top of a plastic soda bottle off just above the label. Put ripe fruit, apple cider vinegar, old beer, or wine in the bottom section of the bottle. Take the cap off the top section of the bottle, and place it upside-down inside the lower section. Leave your trap out in your kitchen for 2–3 days to capture the flies.^[4]
   
   • Flies will be able to fly down into the bottle trap, but they won’t be able to get out by themselves.
     
   • Alternatively, take an old beer or wine bottle that still has a little bit inside and cover the top with a piece of plastic wrap. Poke a hole or two in the plastic wrap so flies can crawl in but are unable to get out.
4. Try hanging up strips of flypaper in problem areas. Place the adhesive flypaper where you’ve seen the most fruit flies, which will normally be in your kitchen near the trash or by the sink. Leave the flypaper up as long as you see fruit flies in your home. If the strips fill up with flies, take them down and throw them away.^[5]
   
   • Flypaper may not be as effective against fruit flies as standard house flies, but it can still catch the ones that didn’t get stuck in a trap.

[Edit]Spraying Fruit Flies

1. Spray rubbing alcohol directly on flies to kill them instantly. Fill a spray bottle with any rubbing alcohol that you have around your home. When you see any fruit flies hovering around in your home, apply the spray directly to the insects so they die on the spot.^[6]
   
   • Avoid spraying the rubbing alcohol onto any fruit since it could cause it to spoil and attract even more flies.
2. Use an indoor aerosol insecticide to get rid of large swarms. Point the spray nozzle at the fruit flies and press the button down to spray them with the insecticide. Since the instructions may vary depending on the brand you’re using, always read the label and instructions on the insecticide to ensure you’re applying it properly.^[7]
   
   • Avoid spraying insecticide on any food or cooking surfaces so you don’t contaminate anything you’re going to eat.
3. Try applying to Spinosad insecticide for fruit flies outside. If you notice any fruit flies outside of your home, load the insecticide into a garden sprayer and apply it around the base of your home. If you’re growing any fruits or vegetables in a garden, be sure to treat them directly with Spinosad as well to kill any fruit flies that stop by for a meal.^[8]
   
   • Spinosad impacts a fruit fly’s nervous system to kill it, but it doesn’t pose any serious threats to pets or other animals. You can safely use it around pets and children.
   • Rinse off any fruits and veggies that you applied Spinosad to before you eat them.
   • Try to limit your exposure to Spinosad since it could cause slight eye irritation or allergic reactions.

[Edit]Preventing Fruit Flies

1. Wash fruits and veggies when you bring them in your kitchen. As soon as you bring fresh produce in from the grocery store or garden, rinse it under clean water. Check the fruit and vegetables for damage, bruises, and soft spots, which could all be signs that fruit flies have gotten to them. Get rid of any damaged fruit to keep the flies away from your other fresh produce.^[9]
   
2. Store produce in your fridge or a covered container. Rather than keeping fruit out in the open, place it in a bowl that has a lid or cover it with plastic wrap to prevent flies from getting to it. Alternatively, just put your produce in the fridge where fruit flies can’t survive the cold temperatures.^[10]
   
   • As soon as your fruit starts softening or going bad, throw it away so fruit flies don’t lay eggs on it.
3. Keep your home cool to deter flies. Fruit flies thrive in warmer climates and during the summer months, but they’re less likely to hang around your kitchen when it’s colder. Run a fan or air conditioner to keep your kitchen at a consistent temperature to keep the flies away.^[11]
   
4. Clean up food spills right away. As soon as you spill anything sweet or syrupy on your counters or floors, wipe it up with soapy water to get rid of all the residue. Focus especially on cracks and seams where food particles could get caught since fruit flies will be able to reach them. For stubborn spills, apply a multipurpose cleaner and scrub the residue away with a clean cloth.
   
   • Try to keep your kitchen tidy by wiping up after you cook and doing a thorough clean once a week.
   • Be sure to wipe your cabinets and any other surfaces that come into contact with food as well.
5. Rinse out empty cans and bottles before tossing them. Since fruit flies are attracted to the liquid residue that’s left from soda, juice, beer, and wine, avoid tossing out the containers as soon as they’re empty. Swish a little clean water inside of the container and dump it out in your sink before putting it in your recycling bin.^[12]
   
   • Store empty cans and bottles outside of your kitchen if you’re able to so you reduce the risk of fruit flies getting inside.
6. Take out your kitchen garbage regularly. Keep your trash in a can with a closed lid to help keep fruit flies out.^[13] When your garbage is full or after you throw away food scraps, tie up the bag and take it to an outdoor receptacle or dumpster so flies don’t lay their eggs in the trash.^[14]
   
   • Clean out the bottom of your trash can with soapy water if you notice any liquid or spills inside.
7. Clean and sterilize your sink drains. Try to clean your sink drains at least once a week to prevent any food buildup from forming inside where fruit flies could lay eggs. When you finish cleaning your drain, boil a pot of water and pour it down the drain to sterilize it and kill any eggs that might have been laid.^[15]

[Edit]Tips

• Even though you should be able to manage fruit flies on your own within a week or two, contact a professional pest control specialist if you can’t get rid of the infestation.
• To get rid of flies on your plants, let the soil dry out in between waterings since too much water could attract them.^[16]
• Put in a screen door or window screen to help prevent flies from coming in when you want a little fresh air inside.
• Fruit flies are usually the most active during the warm summer months, so you won’t have to worry about dealing with them in the winter.^[17]

[Edit]Warnings

• Avoid using bleach to kill fruit flies since it won’t be as effective and it could be harmful if you get it on anything else.^[18]
