Don't stress so much over finals you overwork yourself.

To Every College Student Stressing Over Finals

In This Article:

It's the time of the semester that every college student hates, finals week. Where you have to memorize every little detail that you learned over the past couple of months and you start to stress yourself over this. Remember these things;

1. Grades don't define you

Everyone is shooting for the best grades possible, but just get the grades you need to get your degree. Do the best you can even if your best is a C

2. Take Care of yourself

Make sure you get the sleep you need, there aren't as many hours in the day as we wish and we all want to study for as long as possible but make sure you take care of your body.

3. Your Parents will still love you

You're pursuing something for yourself and your parents will be proud of you no matter what. Take a break, everyone loves you no matter what

4. Stay healthy

I know, we all want to just go out to eat because it's the easiest and quickest thing to do. But the late night Mcdonalds or Taco Bell run won't be good for your body

5. Getting help isn't a bad thing

Getting help isn't a bad thing, it shows your professor that you care. Even if you get help with a professor or a private tutor, there's nothing wrong with any of it.

6. Get out of the library or bedroom

Don't just sit in the library the whole time. You need to get out of the library and do something for yourself. Don' let finals ruin your time being young.

7. Break is coming

You'll have that break soon so don't overdo yourself during this week. There will always be more semesters and making sure you're okay is worth more than overwhelming your body.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
