The week before finals. The most exciting and stressful time for all college students. Christmas is right around the corner and you almost never have to go back to that 8 am again. But on the other hand, your teachers are trying to cram in everything they can last minute and finals are just around the corner. Here are 7 tips to help you survive the week before finals.
1. Get some sleep!!
I know this is so cliché and almost impossible, but it is imperative. If you don't get enough sleep the week before finals you will absolutely crash during finals. So squeeze in a nap between the 10 and 12 class or even before work.
2. Study ahead of time
Waiting until the last minute to study can be overwhelming. Try using 5 minutes of your day to just look over materials or make note cards and memorize 10 a day until you have them all memorized.
3. Utilize every minute of your time
If you have a 30 minute break between classes, use it to look over your notes. If you aren't gonna take notes in a class, then use it to get a head start on your homework for the next class. Or take a nap. Always time for naps.
4. Be comfortable and feel good
Maybe you're the kind of girl who likes to wear sweats to every class or maybe you like to dress up everyday. Whichever it is, feeling your (best whether it be being comfortable or dressed for success) can help you do your best!
5. Use a planner
It can be hard to keep up with everything you have to do every day. Keep a planner so that way you always know what you have headed your way!
6. Work hard, play harder
There is nothing wrong with taking a little break to make sure you get some TLC. Because if you're not having fun and enjoying yourself, then what's the point of it all?
