1. Netflix will be there when finals are over.

I know it seems like binge watching Grey’s Anatomy for the 3rd time this year seems top priority, but studying is IMPORTANT. Derek Shepard will be there to congratulate you when you’ve passed all your finals, but for now, focus on studying and get through finals week.

2. Rest is important.

Instead of staying up until 3 am cramming as much information as you can, remember that sleep is very important. Nothing can hurt you more than staying up super late and walking into that important final looking and feeling like a zombie. Also, nothing will be worse when you wake up the day finals week starts with a massive head cold from not sleeping enough. Start early and get to bed at a decent time, your brain and grade will thank you.

3. Winter break is almost here.

The biggest let down is coming back to school after Thanksgiving weekend and realizing you have three weeks left of pure torture until you’re home with your family sleeping until 2 pm on a daily basis. Just remember, you’re almost there, hang in there and study your butt off.

4. Keep it Healthy

It’s still important to keep up with your health while you’re busy studying for finals. Remember that the gym is a great stress relief, and eating good healthy food will make you feel better than stuffing your face with another box of cookies your roommate brought home.

5. You can do this!

You know you know all your stuff, don’t stress about it. Once you get into that exam you know you’re going to do great! Keep your head up and kick some butt!
