6 Things You Can Do To Help Yourself Survive Finals

In This Article:

Don't worry, literally everyone else is just as stressed as you are! Here are some tips to get you through the end of the semester or quarter.

1. Create a study schedule

I know is sounds silly, but organizing when and where you are going to study van help relieve some that finals stress. You can just have one sheet of lined paper. You can go all out with colors, sticky notes, and different colored highlighters. Whatever helps you to not forget anything.

2. Treat yourself and buy some snacks

It's so easy for you to get lost in studying, but that doesn't mean you should miss lunch. Keeping yourself healthy during finals doesn't need to be as hard as people make it out to be. So, drink some water and have that snack!

3. Ask for help when you need it

Whether you need help from the professor or from a few classmates, just ask for a few minutes. It can't hurt, and you'll feel way better once you start feeling less confused.

4. Don't wait until the last minute

Yes, I know, everyone says this. But procrastinating during finals won't work out in your favor. Take your time, put that Netflix binge on hold, and grind that studying out.

5. Remember to take a break

Not leaving your room for three days straight won't help you, or your brain. Take a walk, stretch, or take a small nap. Not thinking about anything and a breath of fresh air will help clear your head.

6. Keep going, you're almost there

Sure, you just learned the entire Spanish language in two days, but you got this! You've been working hard all semester, and this is the finish line. Go take that test and crush it!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
