If you can afford to start studying 2 weeks in advance, then you clearly aren't really busy at all. I (and everyone else I know) begins studying the night before or the day of, not because we procrastinate, but because we literally have so much other stuff to do we don't have time to start.

You appear to be a freshman – just wait until you get past sophomore year. Then you will know the true meaning of busy.

That way, I know what I have to do each day, instead of frantically trying to remember what's on my syllabus, or realizing that I have a paper due the next day that I haven't even started.

If worst comes to worst, just study what you're being marked on. For instance, I have a reading to do tonight for a class discussion that won't be graded, but I'll probably skip it and spend more time on my quiz prep, which will.

Hope that helps!
