Finals week can be stressful. It is full of long hours at the library, nerves going up the walls, and the hardship to try to understand the final concepts of a class. It is important to know how to handle finals week, especially if you want to do well.

1. Find a quiet place

It is important to have quiet time when studying for finals. This allows you to have few distractions which can help you to better understand the concepts of the material.

2. Get some sleep

Lots of people probably want to stay up all hours of the night studying. This is actually not the best thing to do. Instead, make sure you get an appropriate amount of sleep, and go to bed at a decent time. Don't stay up until the cows come home.

3. Eat well

Most often, finals brings on a lot of stress which can lead to eating unhealthy foods. These types of food will decrease your energy levels and make you tried very easily. Instead, snack on healthy foods like fruit.

4. Ask many questions

It is never too late to ask questions. If there is still a concept that you don't understand, find someone who can help explain it to you. It could be a fellow student or the professor. It is always better to ask than to guess.

5. Make sure to have study breaks

You can't study for hours on end without a break. It is good to step away from the material, and take a breath. However, don't take a break that lasts hours. Then that's called procrastination.

Finals is not a time of the year anybody wants to come around. However, there are many ways to help you conquer the week fearlessly and with grace.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.
