Happy Finals Week! May the odds be ever in your favor. And by odds, I mean grades. It's the most dreaded week in college and no matter how much you try to, you'll never escape finals each semester. Nonetheless, the week has come and I know most of you feel like you're drowning in textbooks and papers and PowerPoints and lecture notes and you're .04 seconds away from a nervous breakdown. That's why I'm here to remind you that you'll make it out alive.

You're going to pass your finals. You're going to pass your classes. You're going to make it to your next year of school. You're going to earn your degree. You're going to get a job. Your entire future does not depend on what grade you get on your sophomore year Political Fiction final. You're not going to fail. Remember to get sleep, because without sleep, there's no way you'll do well. 8 hours. Make it happen. Don't eat crap food. Eat breakfast. Take breaks when you need them. Trust me. You need them even though you think you don't. Don't forget to spend time with your friends. Get them out of their rooms too. They're working just as hard as you are and deserve a break too. Take a nap. 20 minutes. Then get back to studying. Don't burn yourself out even before you take your tests.

All this suffering will make you want to drop out. We've all been there. But with all this suffering will come success. Again, you'll graduate and you'll get a good job and you'll be successful in the future. Remember this and you'll be absolutely fine.

Good luck and study hard! (but not too hard)
