UC Irvine Business Econ major here - any tips for acing my final exams?

[AndrewMooreFuture]

Being the first in my fam to go to college, I gotta hustle hard. Right now, I'm juggling Microeconomics, Business Strategy, and Marketing while trying to crush it in OC's cutthroat business scene.

But yo, final exams are coming up FAST! With all this academic pressure weighing me down, I could really use some tips on how to ace these exams. Any seasoned anteaters out there got some secret sauce for acing finals? On top of all that stress, I'm also tryna score an internship and hit up some networking events - gotta get that career game strong in the OC!

Plus, I'm itching to travel abroad for a study program - gotta see more of the world before diving into the biz world full-time. And hey, shoutout to all my intramural sports peeps! • Don't forget to ask for letters of recommendation early • Talk to current students about their experiences • Visit campuses if you can, it makes a big difference

How do y'all manage to balance academics and sports? Any pointers on staying on top of your game? Help a fellow anteater out! #ZotZotZot

The hustle is real but you can absolutely do this.

Microecon tip: Professor's past exams. Seriously. Most UC Irvine profs reuse question types. The format matters as much as content. I literally printed five years of old exams and did them timed.

Marketing tip: Connect theories to brands you know. When you learn about segmentation, think about how Apple targets different customers. Makes it stick.

Also, re: internships—the Fall Career Fair at the Student Center is way better than people realize. Companies come specifically to hire Anteaters. Go even if you feel underqualified. I got my first internship just by showing up and talking to people. DM me if you want more specific advice! #ZotZot
