To Every College Student Stressing Over Finals

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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
