Show in the Sky - See 5 Planets Align.

For the first time in 10 years, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury will be in line in the early morning sky.  Starting January 28th, the moon will help guide you to each of the planets, if you're new to astronomy.  You'll have to wake up early to take it all in though, as they will be best seen before sunrise.  This website has more details about this neat little party in the sky!

Happy Star-gazing!

Relaxation

Here are some tools that can help you relax before exams.

Relaxing playlist

Guided meditation

Make sure to eat a breakfast high in protein (eggs, peanut butter, yogurt) before you exams to give you enough energy.

You should already have started studying. Start with 15-30 minutes a night and work yourself up.  Make sure to take breaks, and give yourself a reward.

GOOD LUCK!
