Finals Week. Every college kids worst nightmare. But it's a waking nightmare because let's face it, you are so not getting any sleep. It's endless all nighters, questioning your abilities and contemplating dropping out 24 hours a day until the end of that last final.

If any of this rings true to you, here's a few ways to make finals week slightly more bareable

1. Order take-out

I know your wallet is probably screaming NO!!! and it's the home stretch to make what's left of your savings last, but you deserve this. It's better to study on a full stomach and you won't have to waste time cooking.

2. Take a Netflix break

This sounds like the worst advice ever, but I promise one show isn't going to kill you. And I mean one show, don't start binge watching. It'll actually help to give your brain a little break so you can go right back to studying.

3. Work out

Again, this definitely sounds like a joke BUT trust me on this one. It's like taking a productive break. One that you won't feel guilty about because you're working on that summer bod, plus working out releases endorphins which helps with school work

4. SLEEP!!!

This is the most important, all nighters really aren't going to help. Your brain is going to be so fried.

5. Get a change of scenery

Don't stay in the same seat in the library for endless hours, you will go stir crazy.

6. Get a study buddy

It doesn't matter if they're studying for the same thing, but being around someone else that's being productive will probably help you be productive.

7. Coffee

This one should go without saying. Coffee is a college kids best friend.

8. Think about how amazing it'll feel when everything's done

Once you get through this, it's three months off!!!!

9. Celebrate when it's finally over

you deserve it! Party, buy yourself something nice, go on a beach trip - whatever it is that your heart desires because you did it!


You got this!

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
