Superstitions???

Published

As I'm sitting here making my med cards, I realized I have a superstition that gets me through. I religiously watch deathly hallows part 1 & 2 while I study and make note cards. (waving my nerd flag) I, for some reason (?), find it comforting and I feel like I can concentrate better when it's on.

Hey whatever gets us through, right?!?

So what's your superstition?! I'd love to know! :-)

I chew gum during every exam.

If you chew peppermint gum, peppermint is proven to help you recall memory. So its always good to eat a peppermint during a test. The stronger the peppermint the better. So I guess it's not superstitious, but actually proven. So how many of you will be buying Altiods for your next test? Lol

I always had greys anatomy DVDs going in the background while I studied.

I've used the same mechanical pencil for every single test. It's the only time I use it. When it runs out of lead my plan is to just fill it right back up.

I have a bracelet that my mother gave me that I always wear to my exams.
