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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
