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.
