Remember These 7 Things During Finals Week
Nguyen Nguyen

Finals week has arrived and I know just how painful it can be. Don't let this week bring you stress! I know, impossible right? Well, we can try our best! Study hard and don't give up, remember this is to better your future career one day! Follow these 7 reminders and it may make finals week just a tad easier for you.

1. Forget about looking good

Don’t worry about trying to impress anyone. It’s finals week, wear the comfiest clothes in your closet, forget makeup, and call it a day. Besides, you look beautiful either way.

2. Take breaks

I know you want to study 24/7 for that 4.0, but taking breaks from studying is important too. It’s not good to overload your brain with information. Take some breaks by going for a walk and getting fresh air. Plus, I know you probably haven’t seen the outside since you’ve been so cramped up in your dorm studying.

3. Find a quiet space

When you do study, find an area that’s quiet and away from everyone. Concentrating is usually harder with noise and people around, but some people have different preferences. Whatever your preference is, make it happen!

4. Worry less

Getting yourself overwhelmed over finals will cause even more stress. Try to relax and not worry so much. Go in on exam day with a positive attitude. Remind yourself that you have the ability to do well.

5. Eat more

Yes, eat lots of food, seriously. Why do you think we call fattening food, “comfort food.” When we get stressed out we tend to eat more, and we usually go for the unhealthy food. This may not be a bad thing to do when stressing over finals week. If it makes you feel better, then do it.

6. Rest up

Sleep is important! Many college students run on 5 hours of sleep at most, but make finals week different. I know you’re probably shaking your head saying, “this is the week I’m ganna get even less sleep than usual,” but if you stick to a study plan, you should be able to get some rest; however, I’m not saying this will be effective for everyone. Sleep is important because it helps your brain function better and could improve your chances for receiving a higher exam grade. Make finals week the week you get more sleep in college than ever.

7. Don’t give up

No one enjoys finals week. Even if you think you’re ganna absolutely bomb the exam, take a deep breath and stay positive. Have an open mind and some hope before taking your finals. If you give up, you’ll regret it. You’ll look back on the day you had no hope in passing your final and completely failed it, and wish you didn’t. One can only cram so much into their brain. Try your hardest and even if you still fail, remember that you did your best. Just don’t give up!

Good luck on your finals everyone!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
