10 Tips and Memes To Get You Through Finals
SylaBilt

Finals week is almost over, and you can do this! One final push before break is here and you can do all the things you have been day dreaming about. Here are 10 tips for surviving the rest of the week, accompanied by 10 fun "finals' memes" to get you through it:

1. Food and Drinks

Do not forget to eat real food and to stay hydrated! I know it is easy to forget, and suddenly the only thing you have eaten/drank in the last 36 hours is Starbucks, energy drinks, and a bag of chips. Don't let that happen. Your body needs nutrients. If it helps, set timers so that you remember to stop and eat/drink something.


2. Sleep

YOUR BODY NEEDS SLEEP. Take a nap.


3. Exercise

If going to the gym is something you like to do, you can record yourself saying the information you need and have it playing in your headphones while you work out. If you don't like to exercise, make sure you get up and stretch every once in a while. Maybe walk around your room. Try to make your body less tense.


4. Separate things into manageable tasks

Try not to think about the ten page paper, two unit exams, and the big project you have to do. Break each thing into small parts that you can accomplish easier. The paper turns into introduction, body, and conclusion. For the unit exams break them up into chapters to study. And for the project break it into small steps that you can focus on one at a time.


5. Make to do lists

Be specific about the things you need to do and once you finish an item cross it off the list. It helps you feel like you are accomplishing things and keeps you on task.


6. Use resources

Use what your school offers! Email your teachers, go to the library, and go to tutoring sessions. Also if you are writing a paper some schools have places that will help you edit them. Another thing some schools have are counseling centers, if you feel stressed and need to talk to someone they can help.


7. Have a buddy

Sometimes just texting your friend about your stress can help you feel better because it gives you an outlet for it. Just make sure the friend is okay with a constant stream of profanities mixed with humorous memes.


8. Take breaks

Schedule break times to go online or watch TV. Just make sure to have a timer so you don't suddenly lose half a day. This helps you not get distracted while you are actually studying.


9. Make a study guide

Make yourself a study guide from all of the information the teacher has given you. This helps you stay focused on relevant things and the process of making it is actually helping you learn as well. You can also use things like Quizlet to make flash cards!

10. Don't forget to breathe

It is easy to feel overwhelmed this week. Take deep breaths every now and again. You can do this. Good luck!

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.
