Any college student knows that the end of the semester can be extremely stressful. The main cause of stress = FINALS. One girl who excels under pressure however is the one and only Blair Waldorf. She can take on anything and with her help you can take on finals. Here are some of her helpful tips on how to succeed during finals week:

Study Study Study

In college studying is extremely important, and for finals it is absolutely vital. It's hard to get a good grade if you don't take the time out to know the material. Seriously study until there's nothing left to study. I promise you if you want a good grade don't let laziness get in the way. Whether its for finals or succeeding in college in general, studying is the only way to go.

Textbooks are your best friends

Going hand in hand with studying, textbooks can often be vital to you during finals week. It depends on the teacher but more times than not you need your textbook for the tests. Don't neglect taking a look at them, especially during finals week. It could potentially be a life saver when test time actually comes around.

Don't be afraid to admit you're stressed

Blair knows first hand that its okay to admit when you're not okay. For example when you're freaking out over finals and grades have you on the verge of a mental breakdown, it's okay. You're not alone, especially during finals week. Chances are if you tell your friends how stressed you are they will be able to vent right along side with you.

Take a break every now and then

Stress is normal, but too much is not healthy for you at all. This is why its so important to take a break every now and then. Get together and de-stress with friends, or relax by yourself with some Netflix. Whatever you do, make sure to take a chance whenever you can to chill out for a little. It will do wonders for you.

Food = Fuel! Don't Neglect Eating

When spending all your time studying it's easy to forget about the world around you. For example, you may get so caught up in your books that you forget about dinner. However, if you're trying to ace those exams you need fuel for your brain. This starts by eating! Even if its a simple snack make sure to eat something, in the end it will only help you.

Personal Hygiene is still important

Another thing you may forget about is as simple as hygiene. However simple it may seem, though, it really is an important thing to remember. Trust me, you can take ten minutes to shower. It will make you feel better and make you look better as well.

Don't forget to come back to studying

After taking any breaks for eating, relaxing, sleeping, showering, etc, make sure to come back to studying. I know it can be hard, but if you really want that A then you have to be determined. Have some self control and get back to hitting the books.

Coffee can be a life saver

When pulling those late night study sessions, there's nothing that can compare to coffee. Coffee during finals week is seriously a must. If you haven't tried it I promise that you should. It will really help pull you through this crazy time in your life.

Dress well, test well

Dressing well is a major part of success. After all, if you look good it often leads to you feeling great as well. Dress your best and you'll feel your best. Therefore, you will feel great going into your tests.

Be confident going into your finals

Confidence is a powerful thing. If you think you can, you will. So think you can ace those exams. After all, with the work you put in your finals should be a piece of cake. You got this.


Celebrate when its finally over

Lastly remember that finals week will come to an end eventually. When it does, don't forget to celebrate all of your hard work. You deserve it so get crazy and de-stress once and for all.

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.
