5 Ways To Prepare For Finals Week
Eastern Nazarene College

Finals week: the week in which every college student a becomes caffeine hungry, emotional zombie. I'm not going to lie, finals week kicks your butt. But, there are always way to diminish its effects! Here are some tips to prepare for finals week.

1. Start preparing early

The more you can do beforehand, the better. That means making study plans and beginning to go through material covered first in the semester. Trust me, coming into finals week only having to reteach yourself a couple topics instead of a semesters worth will make your life 100 times easier.

2. Planning

Being organized is always a good trait to have, especially during this time. Make study plans! Writing out a daily schedule by the hour, delegating time blocks to different subjects is really helpful. It ensures you're on task and avoid cramming!

3. Grocery shop

Fast food restaurants love this time of year because students always opt for them to save time. Don't fall into this trap! Grocery shop before hand for very quick and easy to make meals and snacks to avoid wasting money on not worth it food. Some great things to pick up are Easy Mac, Microwave pizza, granola bars, and items for sandwiches. These things are easy to pack, and easy to warm up a microwave in the library.

4. Move them around

If you have no finals on Monday, two on Tuesday, and one on Wednesday, talk to your professors about possibly taking one early. Worrying about studying for two tests in one night can get very overwhelming. Although having a day without testing seems great, you don't want to tire your brain out in one day.

5. Armor up your immune system

Finals week is infamous for being the week your immune system decides it wants to plummet. Be proactive! Take your vitamins now. Use hand sanitizer. Wash your hands before eating. Hydrate. Dress for the weather. Load up on cold and flu medicine as soon as you have the inclination you may be sick! Going into this stressful week with a strong immune is golden.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
