Exam Week Survival Guide

Feeling stressed out about finals? Not sure what to do? Check out this helpful and fully inclusive list to get your through the week!

1. The only food you need is coffee. Who needs nutrition when you have caffeine?

2. When in doubt, guess. When guessing, always pick the D.

3. When you see an animal, pet it. Animals bring happiness. Who cares if the squirrel is running away -- you chase that squirrel!

4. Write your study guide on your arm. Tell your professor it's a new tattoo.

5. When he doesn't believe you, cry. It never fails.

6. Have you had caffeine in the last three hours? No? Fix it. Your blood is coffee now.

7. Studies have shown that procrastination is the best form of studying. You should study 10 minutes before the exam and then yell at the professor for not giving you enough time.

8. Quiet hours are just a suggestion. Blast your music as loud as you can!

9. Feeling down lately? Pull an all-nighter to make yourself feel alive.

10. Don't have enough time to study? You should definitely spend three hours in line waiting for Refuel. Who cares if it runs out by the time you get there?

11. Crying yourself to sleep is nothing to be ashamed of. It builds character.

12. If you're running late, just drive to class. Make sure not to speed, but to drive straight through the building to the classroom. Please lock your door before going to your desk per NCDOT regulations.

13. Tired? Fall asleep on the nearest surface. Any surface will do. Yes, the sidewalk counts.

14. If you are the first to finish, make as much noise as possible to assert your dominance over your peers as you strut out of the room.

15. Please remember that this time is temporary and will pass. Your GPA, however, is permanent and will haunt you forever.

Happy Finals Week Everyone! I hope these tips made you smile. Please stay safe and sane and remember that we will get through it! Good luck!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
