If you say the words "finals week," college students will literally cringe. Most of us ask ourselves on a daily basis if it's too late to drop out, and finals week just increases the frequency of this question. Here's a few tips to get you through this terrible week:

1. Coffee will be your best friend.

You won't be able to function without coffee. Those numerous hours you spend studying, you'll find out that coffee is the only thing that can help you.

2. Use your FREE study aids.

Who doesn't love free stuff? Go to the FREE tutoring sessions. Trust me, they help tons. And don't forget to look on Quizlet, because it's FREE, and chances are, some overachiever that has their life together has already made flashcards for every single one of your classes.

3. Cumulative Final Exams.

Opening up to the first chapter and reading the information and thinking to yourself, "We went over this? When??" is the worst. Why are teachers so evil and give us a final that covers like 20 chapters from what we've learned from day one? When you find out, let me know.

4. Reading days.

Do yourself a favor and actually make use of the reading days you're given. Don't use them to celebrate not having classes and don't use them for overeating, being lazy, and sleeping all day.

5. Relax.

Yes, I know that you've calculated it down to the decimal point of the grade that you have to make on the final in order to get the grade in the class that you need to boost your GPA up. We all do it.

6. Look to God.

"Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart." Philippians 4:6

"Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge." Psalms 62:8

"Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

HAPPY FINALS WEEK!!

May the odds be ever in your favor!
