Here it is. The week every college student across the country has been dreading. Finals Week is here. Unfortunately, this means that instead of staying up until 3 am binge-watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix, we will be staying up trying to absorb every last bit of information we were given this past semester. In order to prepare for the worst week known to humankind, here are a few things essential to surviving finals week.

Notecards, Pens, Highlighters

First things first, you can't study without supplies. Make sure to have plenty of school supplies in hand. The last thing you need is to run out of notecards when you're studying.

Comfort Food Is The Best Food

Finals = Stress Eating. Go ahead and shamelessly order a pizza to the library or stock up on sugar-filled snacks. You deserve it for making it this far without a mental breakdown!

Find A Study Buddy

Study with friends. It's good to have motivation during this stressful week. Having people who love you surrounding you will keep you happy and motivated to study harder and in the end, you'll do better on your finals. Be each other's support system!

COFFEE..Lots and Lots of Coffee

Trust me...you'll need it.

Bring A Blanket

If you're like me you probably spend every waking moment in the library during finals week. Libraries tend to be cold and you don't want to be battling frostbite while trying to study so bring a blanket. Having a blanket also helps when you need to take a study break and cuddle up in a corner for a nap.

Finals week is rough. The next few days are going to be filled with sleepless nights, tears, stress, and what will seem like eternal hell. Study hard and kick ass on those finals because that means that Winter Break is only a week away! Good Luck!
