It's that time of the year again: the week of absolute hell. We've all had it in college, the one week that you have so many papers / exams / assignments, you wonder if you will ever make it through. We call this midterm week, and it takes a lot of willpower to get through this time. So, I have made a survival guide for all the college kids who are in the same boat as me and are currently trying to survive.

1. Drink A LOT of Coffee

There is very little sleep that is happening this week. If you're anything like me, coffee is the only thing keeping me going.

2. Dedicate one night for relaxation.

With all the hours you have been spending in the library, it's okay to have one night to watch Netflix, watch a movie, or hang with your friends. Or, you can just sit in the bathtub and do nothing.

3. Reward yourself with a lot of study breaks.

Studying for hours upon hours is never enjoyable. Small breaks are always okay and well needed.

4. Stock up on good study snacks.

The stress eating during this week is off the charts. Better to be prepared now and get yourself some good snacks.

5. Get a good night's rest before the exam.

Although you might think staying up all night studying will really help, it doesn't. You just show up to your exam as a complete zombie unable to function. So, get a good night sleep before the test so you can wake up feeling ready.

6. Study with a buddy.

Studying with a friend makes it a little more bearable. You also have some good distractions sometimes.

7. Flash cards are your friends.

8. Keep your laptop charged at all times.

9. Color code your notes.

Because everyone knows that it's the key to academic success

10. Don't stress, it'll be over soon.
