9 Things To Remember At The End Of The Semester
Everypixel

It's that time in the semester where everyone is stressed out, tired, and ready for a break. Finals are approaching. Everyone is struggling to find the motivation to finish their assignments and to go to the library. People are trying to find the time to pack their things up to go home for the summer. While we are stressed about school and packing, we stress about not seeing our friends for 3 months and want to spend the time we do not have with them. Here are some things to remember during dead week and finals week:

1. Go to Class

Unfortunately, some professors do not cancel classes during dead week. If you have those professors make sure that you continue to go to class because you may miss new material or an extra credit opportunity.

2. Schedule

Have a set schedule of when you are going to finish classwork and study. If you have a schedule, make sure you stick to it. Planning when to do things will help you complete everything.

3. Sleep

Although you may feel that you can survive off of Monster, Red Bull, and little food - you can't. You have to sleep. If you are well rested, then you function better. If you sleep, you study and test better.

4. Eat

Remember to eat real food, not just a bag of chips or a candy bar. Eat actual meals. Eat breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day.

5. Study and Read

Study over your notes, previous assignments, and study guides. Make notecards and quiz yourself. Also, read the chapters of your books. Be careful not to overstuff your brain. Do as much as you can handle.

6. Relax and Take Breaks

Take time for yourself. Take a longer shower, watch an episode of your favorite Netflix series, or take a drive. Take time to participate in the end of the year activities like carnivals. Hangout with friends that distance will prevent you from seeing this summer.

7. Take Time to Pack

Remember to pack your things up. Leave out clothes for the library and classes, maybe even a few cute outfits.

8. Return Books

If you rented your textbooks online, make sure to print off the shipping label. Send them back days before they are due, so you do not get charged. If you rented from the bookstore make sure to take them back by the deadline.

9. Don't Stress

It's easier said than done, but try your best not to stress. You will do fine on your exams and your grades will be fine. Try your best and it will be enough.

We are all ready for the semester to be done, let's push through the next few weeks. Enjoy your last few weeks on campus!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
