Finals Week is literally right around the corner and you can slowly feel the panic settling in around campus. To keep you (and me) sane, here are some things I am trying to remember during #FinalsWeek2k15 - with the help of some super cute felines. (Because who doesn't love cats?)
Stay. Calm.
It's not even Finals Week yet, and I have already felt myself panicking more than I should be. If you find yourself doing this, take a minute to step back and breathe and realize that you got this! You've been studying hard so you're bound to do great!
Make a game plan
With multiple papers, projects, and tests coming up all at the same time, it's easy for something to slip by. To stop this from happening, make a list and prioritize everything you need to do. This way, no assignment will be forgotten and you will ensure yourself the best grades.
Think about the break you're going to get
This may be the hardest part of the semester, but the end is near. To keep yourself going, just remember you'll be home soon with your friends, family, and pets. Nothing can beat being home so keep this in mind to keep you going!
Maybe lay off the espresso
Now, I really need to take my own advice here and calm down with the coffee. While drinking coffee in the morning to perk up is okay, drinking it constantly throughout the day will leave you feeling crappy at the end of the day and make you want to crash.
Instead, try to eat healthy by grabbing some extra fruit at lunch time. This is the kind of energy your body needs and will appreciate.
Take five minutes each day for yourself
With all the craziness going on, it's hard to take some time for yourself this week but it's something that is definitely needed. Once you're done studying for one test, take a break and treat yourself to a cat nap. The best way to stay on top of your game is to take care of yourself.
I hope this little list is able to help you through finals week. It definitely reminded me of some things to do to come out on top and still feel alive. Also, cat gifs can put anyone in a good mood.
So, get out there and conquer finals week! I know you can do it!
