Finals week is one of a kind. It's such a special week, that nobody can ever shut the f*ck up about it.

Any kind of help to get through finals week is gladly taken by college students. If anyone wants to help out: here's a list of things that we need in order to make the week successful.

1. Coffee

Late night studying and writing papers last-minute calls for a wake-up call. And by wake up call, I mean caffeine.

2. An Essential Oils Diffuser

Drop in some Lavender essential oil, take a deep breath, and hope for the best. Find your zen girrrrrrl.


3. Coffee

I mean, the first cup helped so much why not have another?

4. Extra Pens

Once you get into that study-groove, you NEVER know what could happen. Keep an extra pen near you in case the one you're using dies, so you don't even need to waste time finding another one and throw off your groove!

5. Maybe More Coffee


YES! This coffee has you feeling good! CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP!

6. Advil

Fight the headaches. Between looking at your computer for hours, the teeny font in your textbooks, and cramming an entire semesters worth of work into a night, the brain begins to feel mushy. Fight alllll the headaches.

7. Okay... Caffeine Helps Headaches Right?

Advil + coffee = headache cocktail

8. Comfy Clothes... But Not TOO Comfy

Sweatpants: yes

Hoodie: yes

Fuzzy Socks: Ugh yes, but no. Too comfy. This puts you in the sleep zone and WE DON'T WANT THAT. WE WANT A'S.

9. ...Maybe One More Cup

The hoodie may have been too comfy. It's prime tired and depressed hour. Time to rejuvenate.

10. A Pillow To Punch

\

There's this certain point when studying for finals when everything starts to go...awry. Take that aggression out on a pillow. Picture that test. You got this. SHOW IT WHO'S BOSS.

11. Do Caffeine Pills Work As Good As Coffee?

MUST. STAY. UP. NEED. AN. A.

12. A Slapping Buddy

A slapping buddy is someone who slaps you every time you start to fall asleep or daydream about Harry Styles. They could possibly be the single most important thing we need for finals week.

13. Is This an Addiction?

At this point, it's the only thing giving me life.

14. Waterproof Mascara and Under Eye Concealer

Waterproof mascara, because during finals week, a mental breakdown could come out of nowhere; and under eye concealer so you don't hear the "Oh my God! You look so tired!" all day.

15. ......................

16. The Will To Live

Like I said, finals week is a special week.

17. NO SHAME

There aren't words to describe the coffee before your last final.

18. A DRINK YOOOOOO

We all deserve drinks at the end of the semester. We did it. We made it out.....

barely.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

Library Struggles Every College Student Will Understand

Are you really a college student if you don't stay up all night studying in your pajamas?

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
