Finals season is here. The time that we all dread the most. It's a time that no one wants to think about and we avoid talking about all semester. But alas, if we want those grades and want that degree, we have to deal with it. I just want you to take a little second and think.

Finals may make you want to cry. There may be too many projects. Too many tests. Too many essays, books to read, and power points to study. You may end up neglecting other responsibilities. Your room may fall to disrepair or your meals may have sunk to the level of anything out of the vending machine to avoid going shopping one last time. You may think that because of this that you are a horrible person. You may think "I'd rather be dead right now than do this."

Finals are hard. Finals are supposed to be hard. They're supposed to prove that you have learned something and make you strive for that degree. They're not to make you feel stupid. They're not to make you feel incapable. No one is perfect and not everyone can handle the stress of finals with complete grace.

You are amazing. Do everything that you can personally handle. Do what's most important. Take breaks. Truck on knowing there's an end in sight. Treat yourself afterward. It'll be over soon. You can do it.
