Surviving Finals Week, As Told By Cats

Finals Week is upon us and it's not going to be easy. Thankfully, these cats are here to help us.

Finals Week is literally right around the corner and you can slowly feel the panic settling in around campus. To keep you (and me) sane, here are some things I am trying to remember during #FinalsWeek2k15 - with the help of some super cute felines. (Because who doesn't love cats?)

Stay. Calm.

It's not even Finals Week yet, and I have already felt myself panicking more than I should be. If you find yourself doing this, take a minute to step back and breathe and realize that you got this! You've been studying hard so you're bound to do great!

Make a game plan

With multiple papers, projects, and tests coming up all at the same time, it's easy for something to slip by. To stop this from happening, make a list and prioritize everything you need to do. This way, no assignment will be forgotten and you will ensure yourself the best grades.

Think about the break you're going to get

This may be the hardest part of the semester, but the end is near. To keep yourself going, just remember you'll be home soon with your friends, family, and pets. Nothing can beat being home so keep this in mind to keep you going!

Maybe lay off the espresso

Now, I really need to take my own advice here and calm down with the coffee. While drinking coffee in the morning to perk up is okay, drinking it constantly throughout the day will leave you feeling crappy at the end of the day and make you want to crash.

Instead, try to eat healthy by grabbing some extra fruit at lunch time. This is the kind of energy your body needs and will appreciate.

Take five minutes each day for yourself

With all the craziness going on, it's hard to take some time for yourself this week but it's something that is definitely needed. Once you're done studying for one test, take a break and treat yourself to a cat nap. The best way to stay on top of your game is to take care of yourself.

I hope this little list is able to help you through finals week. It definitely reminded me of some things to do to come out on top and still feel alive. Also, cat gifs can put anyone in a good mood.

So, get out there and conquer finals week! I know you can do it!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
