Finals, papers, presentations and projects oh my! It is that time of the semester again and college students across the country are stressing about all of the assignments they have to get done before Winter Break. Here are 10 ways to get through finals and the end of the semester, with a minimal amount of stress!

1. Make a schedule

It can be very helpful to make a schedule of paper and project deadlines, and when your finals and presentations are. This way you don't forget an assignment or forget when you have a final, and have to study or write a paper at the last minute.

2. Make lists

Lists can be helpful to plan ahead and schedule when you should start studying and when you should start working on assignments.

3. Take Breaks

While it is good to not procrastinate and to study and work on your assignments early on, it is also good to take a break every now and then. Take a break from studying and doing assignments, and color, read a book for entertainment, craft, watch a movie, or even binge watch a tv show on Netflix!

4. Eat well

Make sure you don't forget to eat when you are in your studying zone!

5. Sleep well

Make sure you get at least eight hours of sleep at night! Your brain can't retain information or concentrate if it isn't well rested!

6. Look at old assignments

Information from old assignments will most likely be on your finals!

7. Study with friends

Studying with friends can be a good idea, not only so you aren't cooped up in your room alone all of the time, but also because they may be able to help you with the material you don't understand.

8. Get a change of scenery

Being stuck in your room and the library all of the time while studying can become tiring. Go study in a coffee shop or even outside to get some sunshine!

9. Prioritize

Prioritize and study the subjects you are struggling with a lot more than the ones you feel more confident in.


10. Make room for fun

We all are bogged down with papers, projects, presentations and studying for finals, but we need to make room for fun every once in awhile too. Go see a movie, go out to eat, go to the mall, go on adventures, or even just go on a walk around campus!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
