How To Prepare Before It Is Too Late
eCampus

It is finally upon us, yes you guessed it, finals. That stressful week where students all across America cram information into their little heads just to get an A on an exam. It is stressful and exhausting. But there is hope. Here are a few tips about how you can prepare before it is to late.

1. Sleep.

Sleep is a very important thing. For people our age research suggests 7-9 hours.

2. Eat Healthy.

For the week before finals and the week of finals try to stay away from junk food. Although we all love and eat our fair share of junk food, it only hurts your body during this time of the semester.

3. Enjoy The Weather While It Lasts

We all know how Minnesota weather is.One day it is 70 and sunny the next it is negative four degrees and all you want to do is curl up in a blanket. While you have the time remember to go outside and enjoy the nice weather. Use this time to take breaks from studying and enjoy the outdoors before it is to late.

4. Start A New Netflix Show And Finish It Before Finals.

Some suggestions for this are "Bones", "Greys Anatomy", and "Gossip Girl". Start these shows now and finish before finals, that way they are out of sight and out of mind, thus enabling you to begin finals week with a mind set that is ready to conquer that dreadful week ahead.

5.Visit Family.

Family always relieves stress. They can help you work through your problems and figure out life.

6. Make A Stress Ball.

This video is so awesome! I am excited to make this to help with my stress.

7. Cry A Little.

It never hurts to cry a little. This helps relieve stress. It also helps to move forward and clear your head.

8. Find Your Space.

Mine is my room. Some people like a chubby in the library, while others like places like the Smaug. What ever your space is make sure it is relaxing and comfortable.

9. Pay Attention In Class.

If you don't understand what this means, I cannot help you this soon to finals. Message me next semester.

10.Find Friends Whom Possess The Same Knowledge As You Do Or Whom Are Smarter Than You Are.

If you can find friends who are smarter or as smart as you, you can form a study group and bounce ides off of each other. This will help each person in the group with their studying habbits and in the end you all will more than likely have a better chance of acing your finals.

11. Last But Not Least, I Guess You Can Study.

If none of these things work to help you with finals, I guess you can study. Obviously this is the better of the options, but the other ten are a lot of fun. If I were you I would try them first.

Good luck and do not forget...

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
