Finals week is one of the busiest weeks because it is a combination of intense studying and exam taking. We gather the essentials for the week in order to stay sane and alive during this dreaded week of finals. We tend to have a lot of things surrounding us so that we can make it through the week and then get to relax and unwind from the chaotic week. Most of the time, we may find some of these things in our pockets after finals week, but hey, who doesn't love finding food or gum in their pockets?
1. Lots of coffee cups or receipts.
Coffee keeps us going when we are studying for that one final we are worried about.
2. Study guides and vocab sheets.
Basically, we are surrounded by paper everywhere.
3. Pet hair.
Well, if you're at the library you are probably loving on the therapy dogs and cats that come to the campus library. A little way to relieve the stress.
4. Multiple pens and pencils.
You got to have an array of writing utensils cause you're probably going to lose one or two.
5. Tangled headphones.
Got to have that ultimate study jam in order to keep the focus strong.
6. Gum wrappers.
It is said that studies have proven that chewing a certain flavor when studying and then chewing the same flavor when you're in the exam could give you a better chance of remembering information for the exam.
7. Energy drinks.
Some people aren't coffee or tea drinkers. Instead, they drink Rock Stars or Monsters.
8. Tissues.
Some of us have those breakdowns from studying. Everyone does once and a while.
9. Granola bar wrappers.
You need to have a snack every now and then in order to keep up the energy not derived from caffeine.
10. Phone calls to home.
We definitely call home when we are feeling down as though the stress of finals is overbearing and too much for us to handle.
11. An abundance of books.
This includes your textbooks, notebooks, planner, and any other outside resources that help you understand topics in your class even more.
12. Chapstick and hair ties.
Man buns and lady buns need all the hair ties we can grab to keep the hair out of our eyes. Chapstick is great because we constantly lick our lips to the point that they are dried and chapped. We carry like two chapsticks.
