Amanda Remnant from the Academic Advancement Center gave us helpful tips about studying in college. She stressed the importance of time management for good studying. We identified some of the major time wasters in our lives that have kept us from studying. Among these time wasters were social distractions such as Facebook, Twitter and cell phones. Another major time waster is taking a nap every day. Remnant advised us to get adequate sleep at night so that we could stop napping during the day and use our time more effectively.
Remnant said to think of our academic lives as full-time jobs. We should spend at least 8 hours a day focusing on academics. Setting aside time on weekends to concentrate on school work is important so that we don't get bogged down on the weekdays. Remnant suggested using a reward system to treat ourselves when we accomplish an assignment or finish a study session.

Some other helpful tips for time management include:
- Take complete notes in class
- Review notes after class
- Highlight while reading to stay active and awake
- Find motivation in your academics
- Change your major if you can't find motivation with your current major
- Don't study in the dorms
