6 Tips To Get Through A Hell Week

In This Article:

You could be the most organized and efficient student, but you're still doomed to be faced with a hell week in college. There will be weeks where there are five tests scheduled, two projects due, and one hundred pages of reading.

And you will be expected to do it all. On top of your other commitments.

I'm not going to lie, those weeks do suck, and you'll probably end up crying. But here are some ways to help you make those weeks a little more manageable.

1. Utilize your calendar.

Using your calendar can help you see these hell weeks ahead of time. Not only could you get some things done ahead of time, but it can also help you mentally prepare for the week.

2. Get things done during the weekend.

If you have a paper due, write it out on Sunday! That way it is out of the way and you have more time to get other things done.

3. Say no to things.

You might have to pass on your rave social this week, but it's okay there will be others. School comes first!

4. Ask others for help.

If you have some important things to do for your club, ask another club member for help. Everyone understands what it feels like to be overwhelmed. It's better to ask for help than to let your club suffer!

5. Hit the library... or your other favorite study spot.

I know you probably feel so that you want to just spend all of your time at home but going to a study spot will help you get into the mindset to grind out all of your assignments!

6. Coffee!

I know this is cheesy, but caffeine will help you through the week! It'll keep you alert and energetic.

Just remember that the feeling is only temporary, and you will get through it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
