Stressed About A Test?

As we all know, finals are next week and some people go a little crazy and forget to take care of themselves. Here are some tips to help you out! Know that you are not the only one stressing out about those finals, we are all in the same boat, but we will make it through! Good luck and don't worry, sleep will come later for those of you who like to pull those all-nighters to study or finish projects.

When you have an exam, don't leave the studying to the night before. Instead, over period of time study little by little on the couple days leading up to the exam.

Make sure to eat healthy, you don't want you stomach grumbling during the exam. A myth that I grew up with is if you eat peanut butter or mints before the test, it helps.

If you are procrastinating, your excuses only make it worse. Understandably, some people work better under pressure.

If you have time, form a study group, or just ask a friend to study with you.

It's okay to not understand things on study guides, just ask around for help because usually you are not the only one confused.

When the stress gets to much take a break, watch some Netflix, nap, or visit with friends; anything to destress. It's good to take breaks after long hours studying or working on a project. You come back happier and ready to get down to business.

.

Make sure to get some good sleep before exams! You don't want to be falling asleep and not have time to finish your exam.

Good luck on Exams!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
