Ahhh finals week; a name that can strike fear into the heart of any college student. It's a week of stress, and hours of studying, and maybe a few tears are shed. But here is what to remember as you head into finals week this year.
Don't Pull Too Many All-Nighters
Sleep is a lot more important than you think, which I have unfortunately learned the hard way this year. If you're falling asleep during a final, or if you're too exhausted to think straight, your final is going to end pretty badly.
Study, Study, Study
Even if you feel pretty good going into a final, you should always still study. You might find yourself sitting there during your final reading a question where you know it's familiar but you don't know how to explain it properly. To avoid that from happening you need to study, but not too much because that is possible as well. Set a schedule for both work and play as to not burn yourself out.
Don't Let the Stress Eat You Alive
It's just finals, don't panic too much or else you will not do well, and it's also not good for you. It's important to take those mental breaks of watching Netflix or to hangout with friends at the Titan Club. And yes those mac n' cheese bites are a necessity during finals so indulge!
It Will All Be Over Soon
As much as we stress, and stress over finals, eventually we will get through them, and then it will be summer. Which means no stress, warm weather, and fun adventures with your friends. You can do it!
