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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
