1. Eat healthy.

We can't think on an empty stomach, and eating bad doesn't help our energy, either. I get that it's hard to cook and eat at a normal time when we're busy studying. With all the studying, I find myself grabbing something quick like pizza from the Student Center. But it's important to eat healthy this week.

Meal prepping before the week starts can help avoid eating unhealthy, or if you do need to grab something quick, think of a healthier alternative. Treating yourself isn't bad. If you want some ice cream for studying so long, go get that ice cream! I'm just saying don't forget to feed your body correctly during all the chaos.

2. Get a good night's rest.

Pulling all-nighters during finals week is pretty inevitable, but don't do it the whole week. Our bodies need to rest, so we can perform the best to our ability. I used to find myself pulling all-nighters and being so tired the next day. It became hard to focus by the afternoon. It's not good for our bodies. I get pulling all-nighters happens in college, but if you do pull one, at least get some rest beforehand.

3. Take a break... you deserve it.

If you find yourself getting stressed, that's okay. It happens and you are definitely not the only person on campus feeling stressed. Taking a break is NOT a bad thing; our brains need it. If you're feeling stressed, take a snack break, watch a TV show, do a face mask, listen to some music, and even go for a walk. Anything works, and don't feel bad about taking a break.

4. Think positively.

So much is going on during finals week and it can be pretty overwhelming. You might be doubting yourself. It is important to try and stay positive, not just during finals week but most of the time. Staying positive can really help boost your confidence and give you that extra push. Don't worry about the negatives and if you might pass this test. Believe in yourself that you will pass that test.
