It is finally upon us, yes you guessed it, finals. That stressful week where students all across America cram information into their little heads just to get an A on an exam. It is stressful and exhausting. But there is hope. Here are a few tips about how you can prepare before it is to late.

1. Sleep.

Sleep is a very important thing. For people our age research suggests 7-9 hours.

2. Eat Healthy.

For the week before finals and the week of finals try to stay away from junk food. Although we all love and eat our fair share of junk food, it only hurts your body during this time of the semester.

3. Enjoy The Weather While It Lasts

We all know how Minnesota weather is.One day it is 70 and sunny the next it is negative four degrees and all you want to do is curl up in a blanket. While you have the time remember to go outside and enjoy the nice weather. Use this time to take breaks from studying and enjoy the outdoors before it is to late.

4. Start A New Netflix Show And Finish It Before Finals.

Some suggestions for this are "Bones", "Greys Anatomy", and "Gossip Girl". Start these shows now and finish before finals, that way they are out of sight and out of mind, thus enabling you to begin finals week with a mind set that is ready to conquer that dreadful week ahead.

5.Visit Family.

Family always relieves stress. They can help you work through your problems and figure out life.

6. Make A Stress Ball.

This video is so awesome! I am excited to make this to help with my stress.

7. Cry A Little.

It never hurts to cry a little. This helps relieve stress. It also helps to move forward and clear your head.

8. Find Your Space.

Mine is my room. Some people like a chubby in the library, while others like places like the Smaug. What ever your space is make sure it is relaxing and comfortable.

9. Pay Attention In Class.

If you don't understand what this means, I cannot help you this soon to finals. Message me next semester.

10.Find Friends Whom Possess The Same Knowledge As You Do Or Whom Are Smarter Than You Are.

If you can find friends who are smarter or as smart as you, you can form a study group and bounce ides off of each other. This will help each person in the group with their studying habbits and in the end you all will more than likely have a better chance of acing your finals.

11. Last But Not Least, I Guess You Can Study.

If none of these things work to help you with finals, I guess you can study. Obviously this is the better of the options, but the other ten are a lot of fun. If I were you I would try them first.

Good luck and do not forget...

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
