It's hard to believe that we only really have a month left in this semester. If you need to, start going to your professors now begging for mercy, but do not give up totally, cause your grade is not set in stone yet. If you are stressed and worried, just now that there is some comfort in the fact that it is almost done. Summer is literally right around the corner. Here are some things to remember for finals:

1. Take a look at your homework for the rest of the semester

Start getting ahead on it now, so you won't be stressed when trying to study for final exams.

2. If your final is a paper or project, get started now

Seriously, finals projects/papers take a lot of time, and they are a lot of the final grade. If you wait until the night before, it will not turn out well.

3. Look at your syllabus

It will typically say whether or not a final exam is cumulative or not. This is important to know because you need to know what to study.

4. Start studying now

Study a little bit every day. Overloading yourself with information right before the final will not work. No matter how many times you tell yourself it will, it never will. Ever.

5. Keep going to class

Seriously, some important information and most of what is going to be included on the final will be talked about during the last month of classes. It will only benefit you to keep going.

6. Don't give up

There's still time, and if you just pack up and accept a grade, it is just accepting defeat.

The warmer it gets, typically the more carefree everyone gets. I can assure you, you will make it to the summer. Just power through this last month of classes. Do whatever it takes to get you through, and continue to try in your classes.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
