Finals are finally upon us, and it is that time of year when the weather drops, the library is overcapacity, and everyone seems to contract strep. Here are a few tips on how to stay somewhat happy and healthy during hell week.

1. Bundle Up!

It's no fun if you get sick a few days before your most important final. Where your most comfy sweatshirt and fuzzy socks to keep warm and comfy during the all-nighter your about to pull.

2. Eat Healthy!

I know that Ramen may taste better, and it takes 2 seconds to make, but eating some greens will go a long way to keep you healthy and your brain working.

3. Take Naps!

More likely than not you are going to be reteaching yourself everything the professor was supposed to teach you during the semester. So make sure to take naps to give you enough energy to keep going. Napping for no more than 45 minutes will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the next few hours.

4. Do NOT Cram the Night Before!

Classes end early for a reason, do not slack off and neglect your studying. For maximum information retention it is best to start periodically studying a week before your final.

5. Lastly, Stay Motivated!

We are all working towards getting the best grades possible in our class, so stay motivated by giving yourself a reward every time you finish a study guide, or finish reading a chapter! This will keep you from burning out and help you move forward!

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
