Finals week barreled at me like an out of control vehicle, and all I could do was try to brace myself for impact. To be frank, the first few weeks of December are always the most stressful weeks of my entire existence. I know I'll feel relieved and relaxed after the final presentation is given, the last paper is submitted, and the last exam is taken, but until then I've got to keep going, as does every college student. So if you're feeling as burnt out as I am right now, hopefully these Bible verses will help you as much as they help me. We can do this!

It might sound silly, but flipping through my (very) well-worn Bible and scrolling the pages of Bible verses on Pinterest is one of the things that relaxes me the most. I'm not very good with the whole self-care thing; I always feel like there's something more productive I could be doing. But reading the Bible never feels like a waste of time and always leaves me with the feeling that everything is going to be okay.

So to everyone struggling with the last few weeks of the semester, you are not alone. You can do this.
