Finals weeks is rough. You're looking forward to summer break. You are so very over classes, homework, and you can barely stand the thought of another week of tests. But, here is some encouragement and reminders as you take on Finals Week.

1. You made it through the semester. You can make it through this week.

There have been many weeks, many projects, many tests, and too many homework assignments for you to lost hope now! Just one more week!! YOU CAN DO IT!

2. Enjoy these last few moments with your friends.

You are about to go your own way for the next three months. Some of you are going to staff camp, some are working, some are staying at home, some are traveling. You will all be apart, so cherish these days with your friends.

3. Procrastination is okay.

(really hoping my parents and professors don't see this, but oh well!) There is plenty of time to study. Don't stress. Work hard, but also don't miss out on opportunities. Just study and make sure everything is done. Do your best! Have fun!

4. When all else fails. COFFEE!!!

After you have taken my advice to procrastinate and you have stayed up all night making mems with friends, the next day might be rough. Caffeine is always the answer in my book. Trying to stay up to study? Coffee. Trying to stay awake through your 8 a.m. final? Coffee. 2:00 in the afternoon and need to study? Coffee. and coffee with friends is always better.

While the thought of it seems awful, it won't be that bad. You have sat through classes all semester, and you know this. You're going to rock finals week!!!!
