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!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
