6 Things To Remember During Finals That Will Help You Finish Strong

Finals are here, and personally, I am very stressed. For those who are also struggling, I have compiled a list of what I always need to remind myself during this stressful week. I really hope this helps, and good luck with finals!

1. Breathe.

Giphy

Always remember to breathe. Take each day one at a time, you will get through it all. You will survive. Maybe go to a yoga class, it will not only help you work on your breathing but it will be a nice break from sitting around studying for hours on end.

2. Everything will be okay.

Giphy

Did you pass? Great! Did you fail? That's okay, too. No matter the outcome of these grades, it will all be okay. In the end, everything will work out how it's supposed to. Once you hit submit or hand in your answer sheet, there's nothing else you can do.

3. These tests don't define you.

Giphy

Finals are just a small bump in the road throughout your time at college. These couple tests won't define your outcome or whether you get a career or not. The outcome of these, don't determine your future.

4. Don't isolate yourself.

Giphy

Don't lock yourself in your room studying every second of the day. Yes, studying is important however so are you. You could take a study break and go relax with your friends. Sometimes all you need is a friend to get through the stress. You can't expect to do this all alone.

5. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Giphy

If you pile too much on your plate, you will crumble. Don't pressure yourself into getting straight A's, if it doesn't work out that's okay.

6. Do your best.

Giphy

All anyone can ask of you is to do your best. Maybe you fail, but did you do your best? Was there anything more you could've done? If not, then you succeeded.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
