Getting through these last three weeks is not going to be fun. On the bright side, there are only seventeen more days to go, including weekends. Seventeen may seem like a lot, but trust me, it will go by quickly. Unfortunately, these last seventeen days are going to be stressful. Not only do you have finals that you need to study for, but you have the final assignments from your teachers. Kid you not, I have two papers with a presentation and a six-page paper all due before finals. This doesn't even include the work that I have to do the work that is going to be considered my final.

We all have a lot of work to do and the work depends on your major as well. I have some friends that are Interior Design majors and you should see some of the portfolios they have to create. No matter what you may have going on, you have to push through and get the work done. It is more important to hand something in than nothing at all. However, you should still continue to do your best. You need to give it all you go the last three weeks and don't give up. My five best pieces of advice are to:

1. Stay focused. Know your priorities and what is essential to you doing well.

2. Do other things than study. You are going to drive yourself crazy if you are studying too much. It is important to still have fun and maybe enjoy some beautiful weather (fingers crossed).

3. Prepare yourself. You are only hurting yourself if you are not prepared and you will not get the results you are hoping for.

4. Ask for help. If you are struggling or have questions don't be afraid to ask for help before it is too late!

5. Have fun! You are in the last few weeks with some of your best friends so enjoy the time you have left with them!

Best of luck and have a great summer!
