10 Things You Need To Get Through Finals

The end of semester is coming and all of the assignments are piling up. Every professor seems to team up and make everything due at the same time. You feel as if there is no hope and you have considered dropping out at least once per hour. As finals are quickly approaching, there are several things that I think are must-haves when it comes to surviving finals.

1. Coffee

Coffee is the number one way to gain energy! It is the best caffeinated drink ever! Drink this and you are sure to succeed and maybe even stay up all night.

2. Relax

Be sure to take time aside from studying to relax and not worry about anything. Put the studying away and maybe watch an episode or two on Netflix.

3. Take breaks

When studying be sure to not load up just on one subject. Spend an equal amount of time on each subject. I always study thirty minutes on each subject with a five minute break in between.

4. Study

This is obvious! The only way you can make sure you put forth an effort is by at least studying a bit before you take your final. You don't have to study in the library you can always study in groups or outside. Just make sure you stay focused.

5. Don't get distracted

Take time away from social media and texting to focus on the thing you are school for. Turn off your phone or put it on silent that way you can still focus!

6. Eat healthy

Be sure to take time out of your day to eat, you want to make sure you are staying hydrated.

7. Divide your time

Be sure to set a schedule so that you can make sure you are eating, studying and still able to sleep. You can't give up your life for studying.

8. Did I say coffee?

Oh yeah, and in case you didn't realize it, caffeine is important!

9. Sleep

You need to lay down and get more than a few hours of sleep! Don't try and pull an all-nighter. It may seem smart at the time, but trust me, you will regret it in the morning.

10. Exercise

Sometimes a 30-minute run at the gym is something to get your mind off of all the junk of studying. Plus, it keeps you in shape!


Now, with these 10 things you are sure to have a somewhat successful exam week. Now, put you best foot forward and study hard.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
