1)Study, Study, Study

Even though it's obvious, make sure you actually know the material on the exam. Although easier said than done, just review you notes, homework, quizzes, and tests to have a good idea of what may appear on the final exam.


2) Rest Up

Even though studying is very important, having a well-rested brain on the day of the exam could help more than you think.


3) Eat breakfast

Be responsible for eating breakfast on the day of the exam. Like they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which is especially true on finals day. You don't want your stomach screaming at you and distracting you during the final exam.


4) Confidence

Don't go into the exam thinking you will fail. With that mindset, you are only increasing you chances to do so. Go in thinking, "I'm going to kill this exam!" No one likes to take an exam while sweating because they're nervous.


5) Find a Study Partner

Believe it or not, having someone to study with can help tremendously. Build off of each other's ideas, and work together to study the correct information to prepare yourselves for the final.


6) Stay Positive!

Positivity is huge. Don't break down before the exams, stay focused and determined to do well on the final.


7) Listen to Music

Music can help you calm and get focused. It puts you into another world, on with less worry and stress. Use that to prepare yourself for the final exam.


8) Drink Water!

From personal experience, dehydration can make you uncomfortable. For example, headaches and tiredness are annoyances that can be easily solved through proper hydration. Throughout the day, have you water bottle, and take sips throughout the day.


GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINAL EXAMS!

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.
