Another semester has flew by, and it’s time to wrap up the school year. But wait… we still have finals (DUN DUN DUN)!

Finals are the ultimate test on how much stress a college student’s body can handle. No matter how many have exams we have taken, the pressure of finals still hits the core. People cope with finals in different ways; some people start studying at the beginning of the semester, some don’t need to study because they are just that good, there are the normal studiers, and then there are ones who freak out and cram. Whichever way you prepare for finals, we can all admit they are a total drag. Sometimes we can’t seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and say to ourselves “Why TF am I putting myself through this?” and then conclude with “I’m just going to give up.”

Don’t do that. Finals are hard… actually that is an understatement. Finals are hell. We all need to be reassured we can get through this!

So my fellow college students, I have provided a list of 13 inspirational quotes to help get you through finals. Write them on your mirror, save them to your phone, tattoo them on your forehead. Do whatever you need to do to keep these quotes in mind during your hell week. I wish you look in the battle ahead, and just remember… YOU GOT THIS!

XO,

Angelena
