Since we're in the season of countless papers, projects, finals and deadlines that seem to be creeping up (out of nowhere really), over-caffeinated students with bloodshot eyes and irritable behavior is quite the norm. Even if you're not one of them, it can be hard to distance yourself from the pack and not feel like you're doing something wrong if you've been getting more than 4 hours of sleep this past days.
Enters Study Hacks, a blog maintained by Cal Newport, the author of "How to become a Straight-A Student" and various other guides through the maze of college life and student productivity.
I've recently discovered this blog and I've enjoyed reading his advice because:
1. He's a student himself, and wrote his book as someone who was recently an undergraduate student.
2. He went to Dartmouth, so he can understand how much the pressure can build up when you put overachieving students together in a cold place ;)
3. I just got back on my tests, after using one of his tips, Quiz and Recall, to study, and I was pleasantly surprised.
Why should you check it out?

2. All his posts are easily readable and understandable
3. He gets students...
So, Go ahead and check it out. Learn a few tips (and get some sleep!)
