Pep Talk For Making It Through Finals

We've got this.

Pep Talk For Making It Through Finals
Media Cache

If you're stressed right now, welcome to the party. Finals are right around the corner for many of us: finals. No matter how many times a professor mentions finals throughout the semester, nobody really seems to start worrying about them until the last couple weeks. We know they're coming from the start of the semester, but we try and push them to the back of our heads much like an outfit we can't believe we wore in the past or a cringe-worthy interaction we've had with someone that we keep replaying in our head. Finals suck, big time.

But we've got to think about it; we've made it this far. We've gotten through the quizzes, tests, essays, individual projects, group projects (if you've gotten through these unscathed you're especially lucky) and more. We've put in way too many hours, shed way too many tears, and drank way too much coffee to throw in the towel now; we've totally got this. We have a couple more assignments left, maybe a final paper or five. But we've reached home stretch guys! So get that work submitted to your teachers, walk into that classroom for your final exam, and do the damn thing.

And if all else fails, you can always have a nice discussion with your teacher to see what all you can do to give your grade a little boost.

***This is written in first person plural because I'm lowkey a trainwreck over finals right now, so I need this too.***

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
