Finals week is coming, the most dreaded week of college students everywhere. It's the week where stress is high, sleep is limited, and tears are shed. Whether the final is commutative, or just like any normal test, you will still have multiple tests in one week. Sometimes multiple tests in one day. Whoever thought finals week was a good idea, is beyond me. Even though this week is basically death, there are a few steps you can take to get through it with hopefully only a couple mental breakdowns.
1. Get Plenty Of Rest
Sleep is key for your brain to be able to function at its highest potential. Okay, that may not be totally accurate. I didn't read a study or anything, but it sounds pretty good! Start counting those sheep!
2. Don't Forget To Eat Brain Food And Drink Plenty Of Water!
This step should just be obvious, but some will need reminding.
3. Read Your Textbooks And Notes
It's time to finally crack open that textbook that you paid hundreds of dollars for and study hard. Now, regarding your notes, try highlighting the important parts, re-writing your notes, and/or making note cards.
4. Visit Your Professor
Check out when your professors office hours are and pay them a visit. They'll be able to answer any questions you have and give you pointers on what/how to study for the big exam. They aren't as scary as they look, promise!
5. Take A Deep Breath. You Can Do This!
Good luck during finals week and try your best not to have a mental breakdown. Go get those A's, Bae.
