I know, I know it's only Thanksgiving but the dreaded f word is right around the corner- Finals. It's really never too early to start preparing and these 10 tips will help you survive the dreaded finals week.

1. Prepare early

Obviously, that's what this article is for. You don't want to wait until the last minute for everything because then you'll only be more and more stressed out.

2. Talk to your professors

It's never too late to start going to office hours. Professors like to know their students care and show some initiative. You don't want to be the student they don't even realize take their class and suddenly are begging for a grade bump after finals.

3. Sleep!!

Sleep. Is. So. Important. Plus if you start preparing early, then you'll be able to sleep as much as possible to help you keep your mind sharp and mental health.

4. Create a study schedule

And stick to it! Make sure you allow enough time for every class so you can feel prepared all around and kill those exams!

5. Eat healthy

But you can totally splurge once in a while. Eating healthy will make you feel better and be more energized. Save the splurges as rewards for all of your hard work.

6. Exercise 

Even if it's just a 20-minute walk every day, exercising will actually give you more energy and keep your mind sharp. Exercise is a great study break and will even help you sleep at night.

7. Study in groups 

If you can teach a concept to someone else then you truly understand it. And if you have questions then you have a buddy to help you out!

8. Drink water

This goes along with eating healthy, you'll feel better and be able to focus. Plus your body dehydrates while you sleep so if you're hydrated all day you'll be able to sleep better at night.

9. Use colors

Make your notes fun and easier to look at! If you color coordinate your notes (e.g vocab words, definitions, important concepts, etc.) it'll be easier to glance over and pick out the most important topics.

10. Take a deep breath

Cut yourself some slack. A grade is a grade and does NOT define who you are. Do your best and keep your sights set on holiday break :)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
