Either you have already taken all of your finals for the year or just about to start there are things that students need to help them study. For me personally, after two years of college finals I've learned some major things many need and use for dead week to study for the impossible finals that professors give.

Technology: You always need your computer, phone, and sometimes tablet for studying and looking up information purposes or just to jam out while studying your notes.

Chargers: You never want to go anywhere without your chargers in case your technology dies and its so important.

Sticky Notes: These help you put them everywhere to remember the important things such as what time your finals are.

Colorful Pens: Your brain will remember things easier if things are organized in groups of colors. This helps when studying for the memorization.

Headphones: These are life savers when in the library and you are wanting to jam out or even need the relaxing music to help studying.

Comfy Clothes: No one wants to study in jeans and a nice shirt with a full face of makeup, wear those shorts or leggings with a baggy shirt and don't bother to do makeup because no on cares during final week. Everyone is going through the same thing.

Candy: Your favorite candy or snack will help you study in certain ways if you are smart and make yourself goals to read so much before you can eat them.

Drink of Choice: While reading and going over notes can make some one thirsty at some point, bring your favorite drink.

Friends: Your squad can help you out by studying or even distracting you for a bit to give you a break from all the books your head has been in all day.

Favorite Studying Spot: Weather its the library corner of the mystery section, your bed, a friends couch, or even a coffee shop being in your spot can help you focus during those tough times.

Hope some of these things have helped you be prepared for the finals this semester and or to be ready for next year. Good luck to everyone on their final exams throughout the years.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
