7 Hacks To Get You Through Finals
Smart Girls Group

It is officially that time of year again. Every college student's worst nightmare, finals. I know how stressful and insane finals can be, but here are seven ways to help you college students get through this tough time.


1. Lots and lots of coffee.

To help you stay awake and alert.

2. Eat healthy.

Fruits and vegetables are a great way to help your immune system stay strong while studying all those long hours.

3. Don't over study.

Over studying can cause you to lose information because you're stressing yourself out so much. By over studying, your body will end up not retaining a lot of the information.

4. Have food delivered.

Food delivery is a great thing during finals because you can get food delivered right to your study spot instead of wasting time leaving to get the food. The more study time, the better!

5. Get enough sleep.

Not getting enough sleep can end up in bad results on your exams. Make sure you get at least eight hours of sleep the night before your exam so, you are ready to conquer that final.

6. Relax.

I know finals are a crazy stressor, but just remember, they will be over before you know it and you don't have to ever worry about that class again! So, instead of studying all day, take some time out of your day to just relax.

7. Remember, that a bad grade on a final isn't the end of the world.

A bad final exam grade may seem like the end of the world, but it really isn't. You've had the whole semester to get good grades, finals is just the last "hoorah." Usually, finals are only worth a small percentage of your overall grade anyway so, don't sweat it!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
