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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
