4 Reminders To Get You Through Finals
theblacksheeponline.com

Winter break for college is almost here, but first, say hello to finals. Time to hit the books and pray for a good grade. In the midst of all the studying and when you feel like you're going to die, here are four reminders to help you persevere.

1. Winter break is just around the corner.

When you're mid-study sesh and stressed about everything you need to complete, just remember winter break is only days away. On those nights when you're up til all hours of the night working on that project, remember you are so close to days full of naps and snoozing your alarm. You're almost there, study hard.

2. Netflix can wait.

Your favorite show will be there when you're finished, I promise. Log out of your account and focus. Study hard now so you can enjoy the show, guilt free, later. Besides, how good will it feel to chill after your last exam and to binge watch without any regrets.

3. Not every grade defines you.

Really, it's not the end of the world if you get a B- or a C on an exam. It's still passing. Study for that A, but don't beat yourself up too much if you don't get the perfect score on every test. Finals are stressful, put as much time and effort into it as you can, but just remember your grade doesn't define you. True, it might affect your GPA, but if you gave it your all, take a deep breath, relax, and accept it for what it is.

4. You got this.

You've made it this far and you're almost finished! Congrats! You've practically made it through your semester. Getting to where you are now proves something: you have the stamina and strength to tackle finals week and show it who's boss. There's no better feeling than when you're finished and completely free, so remind yourself of all the ways you can celebrate once you finish the semester strong!

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
