7 Things To Help You Get Through Finals
Kram Sverige

As the crazy, chaotic and exhausting week of finals looms in the not-so-distant future, I find myself mentally going over everything I will need to get through it. For everyone, it can be different things. I personally do not drink coffee, so I will not be craving that. However, I know that a vast majority of college students will probably be drinking quite a lot of coffee during finals to help them. What someone wants can literally be anything from their favorite drink from Starbucks to their go-to study music. Here is a list of some things I think students will be needing during finals; you may find that they help you.

1. Nutella

Nutella is by far one of the best snacks. I got hooked/addicted to it last year and it was love at first sight. I enjoy dipping it with either crackers or pretzels, but ultimately eating it straight is amazing and preferable.

2. Goldfish

Again, Goldfish are one of my favorite snacks. I have loved eating them since I was a child and it is something that you can always fall back on if you're hungry.

3. Hot Chocolate

This is a delightful substitution to coffee whenever you're in the mood for a hot drink. I absolutely love to drink it while I'm studying; it's also a good way to wake me up when I'm starting to fall asleep.

4. Curly Fries

Curly fries are quickly becoming my weak spot. I remember eating them every now and then at Arby's years ago. Now, on campus, I go to this late-night snack shop/restaurant and get them. They are amazing and definitely great study food.

5. Chocolate

Do I even have to explain? Yes, chocolate is also a must-have for finals. Besides it tasting incredibly delicious, eating chocolate is another way you can take a short break from cramming.

6. Puppy Chow

By now, I am sure you have surmised that all the food items on this list are not healthy, which is true. However, finals are only 1 week (thankfully). Yes, puppy chow is another chocolate snack that I adore eating. It is extremely addictive and something you can eat for hours on end if you're not careful.

7. The 'Hamilton' Soundtrack

This is basically a given since I almost exclusively listen to the album, but I have made the discovery that the soundtrack to "Hamilton" makes for phenomenal study music (most of the time). Sometimes I turn it off because I get too into it, but a lot of the time I will be studying in my room while rocking out to the songs.

These are some things that I will without a doubt be needing to get through finals. Whatever it is that you crave or enjoy, I hope that it helps you through the dreaded week of finals. Happy studying!

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
