Hit the Books
To study seriously or start studying intensely, usually for an exam or deadline.
Examples
- I've been hitting the books nonstop this week, so I really need a solid break this weekend.
- I'll hit the books this afternoon so I can actually enjoy the weekend.
- Are you going to hit the books tonight or wing the quiz tomorrow?
