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!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
