How To Get Ready For Finals Week
msecnd.net

After Thanksgiving, finals week tends to creep up on most college students, and it is notoriously marked by countless energy drinks, all-nighters, and about five million tests and papers. However, there are definitely some things we can all do as students to alleviate our stress.

I think we all have intentions of working on end of term papers and studying for our final exams the week before Thanksgiving break or even during Thanksgiving break, yet those plans simply never materialize. I believe it's incredibly important to start early on all those assignments and give ourselves the gift of time. Perhaps, it really is the best to at least start working the week before Finals week at the very latest or even on Thanksgiving break.

My second tip would be to manage your time wisely. It's probably something that you've always heard, but alas, a piece of advice you've never taken. However, make the decision to start early, possibly during Thanksgiving break and work a certain number of hours every day as you figure out how to best split your workload. Last Thanksgiving break, I was able to prepare for finals week at my own pace as I worked for a set amount of hours every day. This will definitely help you out.

Lastly, if you complete all your work ahead of time or perhaps, you only have minor assignments remaining, you could possibly relax during finals week. Yes, you do not need to chug monsters or desperately snort coffee because you got this. You can now watch all your friends struggle in vain as you kick back and relax because you planned ahead.
