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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
