Hey guys, welcome to Finals Week. As mentioned in my last article, this is otherwise known as "hell week". It's worse at this time.
This week, you need to pack and study for your finals. Multitasking is almost impossible here, it's either one or the other. Surviving this week is the same as the previous article almost.
Energy drinks are your best friend this week, as they should be every week. But this time, packing everything is your number one priority, too. Don't stress too much about it, but if you live in Cardinal Court, you also need to clean everything out of everywhere.
It'll all be worth it though because some of you may be leaving early, or if you're like me, you leave on Friday. Don't rush into summer. Really go into your last set of finals and have an awesome week! It is the last time to chill with friends, the last time to go and enjoy what's happening on the quad and many other last minute things to do.
Also, studying for finals shouldn't be hard, although I had to learn the hard way. Don't pull all-nighters; instead, just organize studying out into different spans of time. Do that and you're golden. However, don't oversleep either! If you sleep too much this week, you don't want to do anything else. After all, that's what summer is for.
If you're taking summer classes, start getting prepared for those. Summer classes are condensed over a short period of time, but they are very effective overall. The biggest thing about summer classes is that your day may be long, but it's worth it. If you get your summer class done this year, you won't need to worry about it over the fall.
As far as working goes, you just do you. If you have an internship, good for you, do it and be amazing at it. If you work full time, fantastic, work part time, cool. If you're just lounging, hey, that's what summer's about.
You should also, however, go to the gym. You have no excuses to not go there now because it's summer! Just do it! (As Shia LaBeouf would say). But you should do it so that you can come back fall semester and blow your friend's minds because you'll look so awesome once you come back in August.
Summer is my favorite season and it should be yours too. 90 degree days every day, beach, driving, gym, my job as a bouncer (whatever your jobs are) it'll be an awesome summer! My last piece of advice is to just push through this finals week while using this as motivation. You can go into summer happy that you passed your finals, or kind of disappointed because you didn't slow down to really enjoy this last week. Have a great summer and I'll see you all next year!
