1. Caffeine.
How else are you going to make it through all the time you are studying since you are already heavily lacking in sleep?
2. Tissues for your tears (or illness).
It is perfectly normal to have a breakdown with all the stress of the week, so you might as well be prepared. And if you don't have a mental breakdown, then you are probably already sick like everyone else during finals.

3. Lots and lots of post its.
For all the things that you still have to do since you have procrastinated until the very last minute.
4. More Caffeine.![]()
Already had two coffees and a soda? How about some Yerba Mate?
5. A ride home from the library when you are too lazy and/or tired to walk.
Worse than a walk of shame...walking home in (relatively) cold temperatures lugging your weight in textbooks.
6. Advil.
For the headaches you are bound to experience.
7. A blanket or Snuggie to keep you some what comfortable while you are sitting in a chair for hours on end in the library.
8. Portable chargers.
They are very useful for when you can't find a spot with an outlet.
9. Spotify Premium.
Because ads literally kill the studying flow.
10. HEADPHONES!
Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend was wrong. There is nothing like trying to study with obnoxious eaters or loud gossipers next to you.
11. Highlighters.
Because, for some reason, colors make your notes look much more interesting and enjoyable.
12. Easily eatable food that doesn't smell awful and is not insanely loud to eat.
13. Sleep (at least to some extent)
It is super important to get at least a few hours of sleep during finals otherwise you won't retain as much information as you could.
14. Motivation![]()
Know what you are working towards because otherwise you are not going to want to do anything but watch Netflix, go out, or sleep; thereby procrastinating or not fully committing to what you are doing.
