Finals are coming, and I’ve already spent an uncomfortable amount of time locked away in my dorm room with nothing but my notebooks to keep me company. My chair may have permanently molded to the shape of my butt. No one will ever know, though, because I’d actually have to get up from my seat to be able to check.
Hidden away in my own quiet bubble, I’ve created a surefire way to ace those finals!
1. Find a study group, or don't.
Because more heads are better than one! Unless those heads are empty, in which case,

2. Make a playlist.
Everyone needs that perfect playlist to help them focus while studying. But don't take too long making it; you get graded on class material, not on your awesome taste in music.
3. Hit the books.
Yep. Time to pick up those things that have been gathering dust on your desk all semester.
4. Fuel up.
Because if you're studying without coffee, are you actually even studying?
5. Take a practice test.
But do it once all the way through without consulting the answer key. ;)
6. Grade the practice test.
Whoops. Okay, so that didn't go that well. You missed a few, or more than a few. Well, no worries...
7. Collect yourself and go again.
Heeds these wise words. Don't let a bad practice score get you down; practice makes perfect! And hopefully there's still time to review some more!
8. Hit the books, again.
Cram. Cram. Cram. Cram. Just a quick refresher, nothing too serious. You don't want to get burned out before the actual test.
9. Take the test, hope for the best.
Where did the time go? Did you remember to sleep in-between all of that studying? Too late now, it's time to go! The day is here! (cue tears)
10. Dance away the memories.
Because no matter if you thought that test was test was easy, hard, or something in between, you deserve a celebratory dance party. Bust a move.
Good luck on those exams!
