Keep Calm And Finals On

Being in college you can get stressed easily with balancing everything in your life, but finals week takes a whole other load of stress to deal with. There are a few ways to help relieve stress during this hectic week. This list consists of...

Remove yourself from the stress itself

Students themselves are going to be all over the place so that means ALONE TIME. It might be a bit boring but alone time is the best way to have complete peace TRUST ME. This can mean a good handy dandy bubble bath, a little walk by yourself outside to get some fresh air, or even just a run to Starbucks during your study break.

Do something fun

Although it is best to not always say yes when your friends ask to hang out this week, it is good to catch a break and do something fun. A few ideas can be going out to lunch with your gal pals, walking around the park, or watching some funny YouTube videos while you take a break in the study room.

Hitting the gym

Although it sounds dreading hitting up the gym during stressful times is actually very beneficial. After a good workout, you will feel amazing and think back "wow I really did THAT". It can also become a stress reliever if you end up doing kickboxing because you can go crazy.

SLEEP

I know you usually see everyone staying up 24/7 in the school's library but that can actually affect how you end up doing on the exam. Sleeping will help you and make sure you have a fresh head for when it is time to take the test. Of course, studying your butt off is a given when it comes to finals week, but SLEEP IS NECESSARY.

Hope these few tips were a bit helpful for your finals and best of luck to you!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
