Dear fellow student,

Here are a few tips and quotes to get you through hell week (aka finals week):

1) Your GPA doesn't define you.

2) Failing a final doesn't mean you are not smart.

3) "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your god.I will strengthen you; I will help you;" Isiah 41:10.

4) Breathe.

5) "I am able to do all things through Him who strengths me." Philippians 4:10

6) Failing a class does not mean you are not smart.

7) "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us." Romans 8:18

8) "Commit your activities to the Lord, and your plans will be achieved." Proverbs 16: 3

9) Sleep is for the weak.

10) Treat yo' self, go get a $5 coffee.

11) "When I am filled with cares, Your comfort brings me joy." Psalm 94:19

12) You can do this.

13) Regardless of your final grades, your grandparents are going to be proud of you.

14) At the end of the week, you can do nothing for nearly a month.

15) You get home cooked meals in a week (give or take).

At the end of the day (week), you will be sleep deprived, emotional, exhausted, and overloaded; but thankfully you get to spend the next couple of weeks working, sleeping, and eating without the thought of homework or school in general.

Study hard, drink lots of coffee, and do your very best no matter what the outcome of the course may be.
